This week we’re talking about the Bible and whether it is still relevant in our modern world. It is sometimes amazing to see just how different our world is today compared to how it was a hundred years ago – or even ten years ago. Not just technology, but also the values and morals of the world around us are completely foreign to what we knew if we “grew up in the church.” Because of this, many have concluded (sadly, even some in the church) that the Bible is just not relevant anymore. So that’s what we’re going to talk about today.Continue Reading

How to Prepare for Spiritual Battle

Throughout the New Testament, various passages describe a spiritual battle in which we are engaged. In writing to the church in Corinth, Paul said, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Timothy was told, “Fight the good fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6:12). Jude admonished Christians to “contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints” (Jude 3).
