Generational Curses?

Last updated on: April 13, 2018 at 10:10 am By Andrew Farley

There’s a lot of talk in the Christian world today about generational curses. And some say that the sins of our ancestors can bring down curses upon us. Then they usually suggest a series of prayers or a process of “reclaiming spiritual territory” to break free from these generational curses. Is there any truth to these claims about generational curses? Doesn’t the Bible tell us that there is no condemnation for us who are in Christ and that the evil... Read more

How Can I Know I’m Saved?

Last updated on: April 3, 2018 at 3:38 pm By Andrew Farley

How can I know that I am truly saved? This was Robert’s question when he called into the radio program. And it is a question that all of us should ask at one time or another in our lives. In this short video clip, I discuss the difference between putting confidence in our “story” versus putting confidence in Another. For the many of us who do not have a dramatic story of how we came to faith in Christ, I... Read more

Spiritual Warfare

Last updated on: February 27, 2018 at 9:55 am By Andrew Farley

We hear so much on the Christian airwaves about spiritual warfare and struggle with demonic forces, that sometimes it is hard to discern the truth. Some even claim that if we experience any habitual sinning, we are not really saved! Wesley called in to our radio program to ask about ongoing struggles, spiritual warfare, and what a believer can practically do in the midst of “combat.” In this video clip, I address Wesley’s concerns and talk about spiritual battles from...

Our Evil Desires?

Last updated on: February 13, 2018 at 4:09 pm By Andrew Farley

James 1:14 says “but each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust [desires].” Does this mean that our own desires are all evil? And how would this jive with our new identity in Christ? Don’t we have a new, obedient heart full of godly desires? So what can James 1:14 really mean? This was David’s question when he emailed us. In this short video clip, I address David’s question about our desires. Read more

When Disaster Strikes

Katrina. Harvey. Irma. Maria. 9/11. Car bombs. Mass shootings. Whether it’s natural disasters or terrorism or other heinous acts, painful events occur every single day in this world. Is God somehow involved in these? If He is not the cause, then where is He in the midst of them? And what is His heart in these matters? These were Cheryl’s questions, and I address them in this short video clip. I hope this is an encouragement to you today in... Read more

The Parable of the Talents

Last updated on: January 23, 2018 at 11:53 am By Andrew Farley

In the parable of the talents, the one who simply hid his talent, rather than investing and getting a return on it, ends up being punished. Ryan called our radio program to ask about this parable and whether or not Christians should be concerned about punishment if they do not do enough works to impress God. In this short video clip, I address Ryan’s question and discuss the parable of the talents. Read more

The Truth About Physical Healing

In this short video clip, I share the truth about physical healing and miracles. I hope it is an encouragement to you today as you remember that planet Earth comes at you with all kinds of difficulties, but Christ is working in you, even in the midst of them.

Faith and Works

Last updated on: January 8, 2018 at 3:23 pm By Andrew Farley

I hope that you, as a believer, enjoy this clip, as it reveals that you have already met the requirement of James 2! Read more
