The Mindset of a Super Conqueror: The Battle for the Mind

Do you ever wish you could turn off your mind? How about: do you ever struggle to get control of your thoughts and start thinking godly about something? We are all in a battle for the mind, with powerful forces at work from without and within that try to direct our thoughts (some for good and some for bad). In our The Mindset of a Super Conqueror series we are going to explore how to win the battle for the mind!

Life of Daniel: Angel Battle

Daniel's final vision is of angels doing battle; then the book closes. What is going on in this book and around us today that makes this man's message so important to us? We will conclude our study of Daniel assessing how his life and ours have so many similarities... living for God in a hostile climate.

Life of Daniel: A Look Behind the Curtain

When you watch or read the news, you are only getting a small part of every story. The reason for this is that there are things happening in the invisible/spiritual realm that the reporter cannot see. Daniel is given a look behind this curtain in Chapter 10... a chance to see the spiritual forces at war while the nations war and oppress on earth. It is a fascinating look which helps equip us to understand our world. These are the topics we will be looking at and then we will discuss how one is helped to survive and triumph in this battle.

1 Peter: Persecution and Sanctification

All Christians suffer some kind of persecution. Peter has been describing how we are to handle that experience. In this text he has an interesting application: how does suffering persecution help us overcome sin??

  • Did people party in Peter's day like today?
  • What is the draw?
  • What is the danger?

Luke: Fighting to Get In

Luke 13:22-30
Acts 14:22

    A day is coming on the earth when the long-suffering of God towards sinners shall have an end. The door of mercy, which has been so long open, shall at last be shut. The fountain opened for all sin and uncleanness shall at length be closed. The throne of grace shall be removed, and the throne of judgment shall be set up in its place. The great assize of the world shall begin. All that are found impenitent and unbelieving shall be thrust out forever from God's presence. Men shall find that there is such a thing as "the wrath of the Lamb." (Revelation 6:16)
    A day is coming when believers in Christ shall receive a full reward. The Master of the great house in heaven shall call His servants together, and give to each a crown of glory that fadeth not away. They shall sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and rest forever from warfare and work. They shall be shut with Christ, and saints, and angels, in the kingdom of heaven, and sin, and death, and sorrow, and the world, and the devil, shall be eternally shut out. Men shall see at last that "To him that soweth righteousness there is a sure reward." (Proverbs 11:18)
    There is something peculiarly striking in our Lord's language in this prophecy. It reveals to us the awful fact, that men may see what is right when it is too late for them to be saved. There is a time coming when many will repent too late, and believe to late, -- sorrow for sin too late, and begin to pray too late, -- be anxious about salvation too late, and long for heaven too late. Myriads shall wake up in another world, and be convinced of truths which on earth they refused to believe. Earth is the only play in God's creation where there is any infidelity. Hell itself is nothing but truth known too late. J.C. Ryle
