Satan’s Authority Over Earth Satan was handed the keys to this world by Adam and Eve when they sinned. They had authority over the world and everything within it.

Principalities and Powers/Mystery Doctrines Please open your personal copy of the Word of Truth (Bible) to Ephesians 6:12. As believers, we wrestle against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The doctrine of forgiveness may be defined as: letting go of resentment; excusing a guilty person of trespass; release from payment; forgetting an offense, never throwing it back on the person again; and finally, it means loving those who mock us, bully us, talk about us, and…

Angels are spirit beings (Psalm 104:4). Angels do not have physical…
Spiritual Compassion “Spiritual compassion is not measured by how well we expose another person’s sin issues, but by how well we stand with them to resolve their issues, gently.” — C. S. Craig Define Compassion in two words: “Jesus wept” (John 11:35). “Jesus wept” says it all. Jesus in true humanity was so compassionate (Matthew 9:36; 14:14; 15:32; 20:34; 23:37;…
Tolerance/Moral Laws/Higher Authority TOLERANCE If disagreement did not exist, then tolerance would be unnecessary.

Critical Points On Salvation The Cross is the Centrality of Life Philosophy insists on the power and virtue of man by reason.

Mother Earth? Nature? The often heard term “Mother Nature” is a revival from paganism. It is a derivative of “Mother Earth.” Mother Earth was worshiped by the goddess cults of the ancient Middle East. Nature is not a deity, nor is the earth itself. However, calling creation “Nature” or “Mother Earth” is deification which deliberately discredits and denies God as…
Tithing – Taxation or Legalism? In our attempt to reach the world for Christ, many times we drive the world away from the church by too much solicitation.
