Today's Talk
Die Another Day 3.19.19

As Christians, there’s a constant war going on inside each of us, and it’s a battle between the flesh and the Holy Spirit. The flesh will always tell us that we should give into temptation because it’s offering us something we think we need. But when we die to ourselves and live for Christ, He gives us the Spirit to resist that temptation — and offers us the only kind of life that’s really worth living!

‘Nowhere’ vs. ‘Now Here’

Cue the January winter blues. The holiday decorations have been packed away for another year. The radio stations won’t play 24/7 Christmas songs again for another 11 months (this is a good thing!). The kids are back in school (again, a good thing!). And most of all: you’ve written the wrong year enough times over… Read more »
