How Much of Our Life, Strength, and Comfort Depends on Our “Dying to the Old Man”?

This is a very good question since we all want to be strong, healthy, and enjoy many good days of peace and comfort.   Many a man has spent his whole life in the fight against indwelling sin, in a constant battle, and has never seen a day of comfort, and feel all the time […]

Hellbent On Sin

Our Treasonous Heart

Where lies the Battle

by glennchristopherson   I don’t have a doctorate in theology. I don’t even know how to spell PhD. In fact it seems to me too many theologians spend their time inventing $10 words to promote 2 bob heresies.
