Suddenly Interested - #6823
Lives all around you are prisoners of Satan and prospects for hell. There are Christians compromising all around you, embarrassing their Lord, betraying their Lord.

Stone Wall Heroes - #6678
At Stonewall Jackson's battle, the troops were ready to run, but one man standing gave others the courage to do the same. If you'll be that person, you can have that same kind of effect. You have to stand under the pressure, stand under the attack, you refuse to move, you refuse to compromise.

Earthquakes in the Bible - a Christian perspective
The unending bad news we read in the news of wars, earthquakes, famines, and other disasters shouldn't surprise us--Jesus predicted that such things would continue to plague humanity. It's our job to be faithful servants of Christ amidst such tragedies.

War in the Bible: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
The world wages war with guns and violence, but Christians wage their "spiritual war" much differently. Christians engage the minds and hearts of other people with the Gospel message, and will see victory when those hearts choose to serve Christ.

Actually, a lasting peace agreement did begin in Bethlehem; not international peace, but the kind we’ve been looking for our whole lives–personal peace.
