O C T O B E R 2 9 “For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.” — Romans 7:19

The Warfare Within

Have you ever felt the aggravation of doing the very sin you wanted to avoid? Or of not doing a good work you had intended to do? Why do we find ourselves in this bind on such a consistent basis? When we hand our lives to Jesus, He gives us a new nature that is spotless and clean, incapable of sinning. But as fallen people we also carry within us a nature capable of vile and hideous deeds. And herein lies the battle. Our regeneration sets... More

O C T O B E R 2 8 “How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’” — Isaiah 14:12-14

Who Is Satan?

If we want to achieve success as Christians, then we must be aware of him who opposes that goal—the Devil. To understand Satan’s plot, we must first understand his origin, and the Bible gives us several clues about that. Satan began his existence as an angel of light named Lucifer, the light bearer. Being God’s most powerful, brilliant, and beautiful angel, Lucifer became puffed up with pride, believing he could reach the... More

O C T O B E R 2 7 “Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them …” — Leviticus 19:31

The Occult

Have you noticed the recent explosion of the occult, witchcraft, and Satanism in our society? If you pay attention, you can see it everywhere—in movies, in television programs, in many of the songs of our pop culture. Drive down Main Street, U.S.A., and you’ll most likely see the storefront office of a psychic or a palm reader. The work of the Devil and his demons takes many forms and has many names. It ranges from Satan... More

O C T O B E R 2 6 “… and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” — Genesis 3:5

New Age

Have you felt as bewildered as I at the recent proliferation of crystals, psychics, and gurus? A “new” religion has swept through our land—the New Age movement—attracting converts with the speed of a runaway train. But the only thing new about this movement is its slick Madison Avenue makeover. In reality, the New Age movement has existed since the Garden of Eden. An old serpent in a new skin, this worldview slithers... More

O C T O B E R 2 5 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” — Ephesians 6:13

The Whole Armor

In Ephesians, Paul shows us the treasures hidden for us in Christ—redemption in our Savior resulting in eternal life. But as Paul finishes this epistle, he warns us that before we enter into Heaven’s gates, we shall experience great tribulation, the protracted spiritual warfare that faces every Christian. Our antagonists are not flesh and blood, but spiritual, invisible, and powerful. These principalities are the world rulers of... More

O C T O B E R 2 4 “… be holy, for I am the Lord your God.” — Leviticus 20:7

Holiness In An Unholy World

Have you ever noticed how many people claim to “believe in God,” but on closer inspection, the “god” they believe in is merely one made up in the factory of the human mind? And rarely, it seems, does that god have any standards of holiness. I recall once sharing the Gospel with a woman, and when I began talking about God’s judgment, she stopped me and said, “Oh, no. My God would never do a thing like... More

O C T O B E R 2 3 “… and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” — Matthew 28:20

David Livingstone

Today I want to share a spiritual secret. This secret was the key to the extraordinary service of David Livingstone, one of the greatest missionaries in the Church’s history. Livingstone committed himself to living for Christ. Consider this prayer from his diary: “Lord, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. Sever any ties but the tie that binds me to Thy service and Thy heart.” And so it... More
