How To Keep Satan Off Your Back

Last updated on: July 19, 2017 at 11:29 am By Jack Wellman

If you’re experiencing spiritual attacks, here’s how you can keep Satan and his demons off your back. Do Nothing In the first place, Satan does not generally go after those in the church unless they are one of the more influential Christian pastors or teachers.

The Protective Purpose Of Pain

Last updated on: July 8, 2017 at 10:17 am By Jack Wellman

There is a protective and productive purpose in pain. Read what the Bible says about pain. Keeps us Alive Not all pain is bad. Pain in exercise can tell us it’s time to quit or time to keep going (for some). At other times, pain tells us somethings wrong.

Were Adam and Eve Saved?

Last updated on: July 6, 2017 at 9:31 pm By Jack Wellman

Bible scholars believe that Adam and Eve may have been saved, but others argue they were not. Does the Bible give us any indication? The Fall At one time, there was everything Adam and Eve could have wanted. All Adam had to do was to tend the garden, but when Eve was deceived by the Serpent, the innocence of mankind was lost forever, and it would be thousands of years later when the curse would be reversed by Jesus Christ...

Last updated on: July 6, 2017 at 3:07 pm By Jack Wellman

The Bible teaches that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, so what does it mean to fear the Lord? Why type of fear is it?

Dying For Company

Last updated on: July 4, 2017 at 10:28 am By Jack Wellman

James said that pure religion is visiting the orphans and widows in their affliction (James 1:27), so how can you begin a nursing home ministry in order to practice “pure religion?” Reasons for a Ministry Every ministry that Jesus commanded the church to do is laid down in Scripture; from the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20; Acts 1:8) to the admonition to care for the poor and to feed the flock.
