by Peter Lindstrom Comments (0) 17 Minutes Read 1705 Views (0)

Put on the Whole Armor of God Keep Calm and Carry On THE BELT OF TRUTH What is truth? How do we know truth…from error? And why is truth important? In order to stand against the forces of evil, the Apostle Paul requires us to wear the whole armor of God. And Paul begins in Ephesians 6:14 with this command: “Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth…” (ESV) Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth…(Eph. 6:14; ESV).     STAND … Read More →

How to stand against the schemes of the Devil?

by Peter Lindstrom Comments (0) 13 Minutes Read 1750 Views (1)

First, Be. Then Do. When we think of this question, “How to stand against the schemes of the Devil in the New Year?” we might first think of what we must do. Remember the story of Elisha and his servant and how the Syrians surrounded them in the city of Dothan (2 Kings 6). Elisha’s servant cries out to Elisha: Alas, my master! What shall we do?” But before you start thinking about doing something, the Apostle Paul would have you think differently. Instead, be. Be who you are in the … Read More →

"Every knee should bow..." are words from Philippians 2 that remind us of Ascension Sunday.

Jesus is … Read More →

Satan Hates It: The Key to Family Fellowship

by Peter Lindstrom Comments (0) 8 Minutes Read 2698 Views (0)

Satan always hates Christian fellowship. With these words of the great C.H. Spurgeon, he continues: It is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation. Spurgeon’s words speak to the spiritual problems within the church, the Household of God.  But these words also speak to our individual households. It’s … Read More →

Christ is Risen

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:20 “But, now…” Contrary to all the false teachings about the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:12-19), the Apostle Paul speaks the truth (1 Corinthians 15:1-11).

What If There Was No Easter?

What if there was no Easter? It’s a question that we don’t ask because we already know the truth of the matter. However, what if…? For the Apostle Paul it’s an important thought. And it’s an important thought as we worship together at church and as we gather in family worship. Here’s Paul’s view: [tweet_dis]If… Read More →

The Goodness of Good Friday

Where is the goodness of Good Friday in a cruel cross? It is evidenced in our salvation from sin. If we took the time to list out all our sins individually it would take us all day [correction: more than a lifetime]. But here’s a short list of our sins in which Paul reminds us of… Read More →

Palm Sunday Preparation

As we remember a personal birthday or an anniversary or Thanksgiving Day… Palm Sunday is all the more important to remember as it brings us to a climax in Jesus’ earthly mission in his life, death and resurrection. This day’s significance lies in the fact that Jesus fulfills the prophetic word of Zechariah 9:9 and… Read More →

Fear of the Lord: How Should We Think?

As a father and husband trying to lead his family, what does it mean to fear the Lord? To fear the Lord may sound archaic and perhaps unimportant. After all, don’t we just want our children to love God…and not fear Him? Shouldn’t our motto be, “No fear taught here?” For a healthy family, the… Read More →
