Some moments change everything. A phone rings. A door slams. Words are spoken that can’t be taken back. Suddenly, the life you were holding onto begins to slip through your hands.

Take Hold Of The Faith You Long For

“More than conquerors,” that’s what the Bible calls those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ for eternal salvation from the consequences of sin (Romans 8:35-39). So why do we continue to struggle after surrendering our lives to Him?  Because the Enemy is alive and well and wants to steal our joy.  Don’t let him!  Overcome by the power of the Holy Spirit instead.

More Than Conquerors: Claiming Victory Over Sin

Pornography is a pervasive and effective tool used by our enemy to isolate men and take them out. Satan would have you believe that you are alone in your engagement/addiction of pornography. He wants you to believe that if anyone ever found out you would be an outcast and even more alone and hurting. Let me assure you, his accusations are lies. Jesus wants us to bring our failure into the light. It is in the light that darkness flees. You are not alone in this struggle. LIVE Free!
