“Why can’t we all just get along?” We’ve all heard this phrase and have likely said it ourselves, usually in the thick of a heated argument to wave a white flag of surrender. For Christians, thankfully, these words have an answer and an antidote. We know that we’re broken sinners in need of a Savior. […]
I recently got back from a week of serving at a youth camp. It was a great experience, but it showed me how high and constant the watermark of spiritual warfare is in the church. I don’t know about you, but when I hear the phrase “spiritual warfare,” my mind usually goes straight to an […]
