“Those who maintain ‘There was a time when the Son was not’ rob God of his Word, like plunderers.”“Black Dwarf” was the tag his enemies gave him. And the short, dark-skinned Egyptian bishop had plenty of enemies. He was exiled five times by four Roman emperors, spending 17 of the 45 years he served as... Continue Reading →
Your muscles tense as your body prepares for action. Sugar pours into your bloodstream, creating a high level of energy. Your blood pressure increases and your heart beats faster to circulate blood more rapidly. Large amounts of adrenaline are released into your system and you feel a surge of strength. The stomach muscles constrict and... Continue Reading →
A believer cannot read through the Book of Proverbs and not notice two re-occurring topics that Solomon hits again, and again, and again. The first is the abuse of the tongue. Solomon refers to the uncontrolled tongue, the lying tongue, and the gossiping tongue. In our journey through the Proverbs I’ve preached several messages on... Continue Reading →

Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.” One of the reasons today’s church has become weak and powerless is because... Continue Reading →

If anything happens, you bear the cost yourself. The world is full of people who will trust no one but themselves. Often they find out too late that their resources couldn’t... Continue Reading →
Background and Setting While Matthew was written to a Jewish audience, Mark seems to have targeted Roman believers, particularly Gentiles.
