Avoidance Isn’t Obedience
“We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

Unhealthy Habits (Part 2)
“You have died with Christ, and He has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as, ‘Don’t handle! Don’t taste!

Unhealthy Habits
“A youngster’s heart is filled with foolishness, but physical discipline will drive it far away.” (Proverbs 22:15 NLT) Habits form our lives and, far too often, interrupt or even block our progress as children of God.
