WIN BY LOSING
Many think Jesus implies that the Old Testament encourages hatred against our enemies in His sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Old Testament is God’s perfect law and it is Holy…

BE A BAD COUNTER
It is easier to endure spiritual warfare when we understand our battle is not against people but against principalities. Paul was able to let his attackers off the hook because he had a unswerving trust in God...
