When their enemy outnumbers them, they are not to scramble for reinforcements, but are actually supposed to shrink their army down even more until only the courageous men remain. The principles regarding spiritual warfare for the Church could not be more time...

Not only do we accept the radical gift of God’s forgiveness in and through Christ, we also extend the radical gift of forgiveness to others, especially those who have sinned against us. One of the signs of the Spirit’s work among us will be our relational health and unity. This isn’t possible without forgiveness. Let us be slow to anger and qui...
