Last week, I wrote about the Spiral of Defeat, which my pastor has taught. I examined seven steps of how an external trigger will activate through our bodily senses to create a thought. Thoughts lead to temptations, temptations to sin, sin to habits, habits to strongholds,...

What is your destiny? When you’re asked that question, do you think of something that relates to your life here on earth, or your eternal destiny after this life? Perhaps you think of a certain job or career that you’re destined to have. Perhaps you feel depressed that...

Whenever someone takes a fall, especially in their spiritual lives, very rarely does it happen suddenly. There are times where Satan comes in and steals everything, like with Job, but most of the time, when a fall comes, it is produced by a series of choices that set...
