Is it possible for the Holy Spirit to live in a sinful, unholy vessel? It is not. God cannot under any circumstance dwell in an unclean vessel. That’s why when Adam committed just one sin, he forfeited the Spirit and died spiritually. Yet, we know God lives in us who have placed our trust in […]

They call it your “cutting edge.” It’s what puts you ahead of the competition. It gives you the advantage you need to succeed. It’s the key to your long term progress. If you have it, you need to retain it. If you lose it, you should take steps to recover it immediately. That’s true in […]

When some people hear the message of grace preached uncompromisingly, one of the first objections that arises deals with holiness. They wrongly conclude that telling people that Jesus met every requirement of the Law on their behalf and that God has once and for all forgiven them of all their sins, past, present, and future […]

Have you ever heard some well-meaning Christian say that too much of grace will cause people to sin? Probably. That warning, unfortunately, accomplishes just the opposite of what is intended. Inadvertently, it is actually encouraging believers to take their eyes off of Jesus to some degree (however small), in order to
