Walking in God’s ways requires not only confession but also repentance and a turning from our old sinful ways. If we truly repent, we experience a change of mind and attitude and no longer live the way we did before.

Confession brings healing to the soul. James writes, “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed”. It reunites people, leads to a breakthrough in community, and enables them to have fellowship with God and one another. 

At first the battle for your mind may feel intense. But as you continue walking by faith, the narrow path gets broader and broader. The mental assault gets less and less intense as you draw closer to Christ.

If the strongholds in your mind are the result of conditioning, then you can be reconditioned by the renewing of your mind. Through the preaching of God's Word, Bible study and personal discipleship, you stop being conformed to this world and experience transformation.

Most Christian parents would do the right thing if they were sure what the right thing was. So, what do good parents do?

We are stewards of God—meaning we have been entrusted with the use of our lives and all that we possess for God’s Kingdom. And someday we will give an account for how well we have managed the estate.

The wisdom of the world looks at the cross of Christ as foolishness—which is a product of the Fall. As Christians, we live in this world but are not of this world, and under God’s sovereign rule we are supposed to tend it.

Crucifying the flesh is a crisis of the will. We can choose to live by either the flesh or the Spirit. So the moment you are tempted, turn to God and whisper a little prayer!

The cross we are to pick up on a daily basis is not our own cross but Christ's cross. When we pick up the cross, we affirm that our identity is not based in our physical existence but in our relationship with God.

We are in a winnable war against the defeated kingdom of darkness. But the lies of Satan can gain a measure of control if we believe them. 

What is important is not how much ability or opportunity you have but how faithful you are to use what you have been entrusted.

Spiritual warfare is better understood as a truth encounter rather than a power encounter. All the darkness of the world cannot withstand the light of Jesus.

The Church has been commissioned to continue Christ’s ministry of setting captives free and binding up the brokenhearted. To be an effective instrument in His hand, we must be liberated in Christ and be totally dependent on Him.
