Words from the Pastor’s Desk

It is critical to understand that when you're involved in a quarrel or an argument with someone else, the true source of the conflict is not the issue being argued. In fact, the problem lies in the desires of your own heart.

The temptations and conflicts that we struggle with in this life flow from the cravings of our own hearts.

The first step when dealing with conflict is to identify the true source of the conflict.

The first part of Christ's plan for His church is that He distributes spiritual gifts to each true believer. Each believer is called to exercise that gift in a local church.

How does the Spirit of God use the Word of God to renew our minds?

Not only are we to reject the thinking of our age, we are also commanded to embrace the will of God.

Your thinking will always be shaped by influences outside of you. Therefore, it will either be God and His Word or Satan and his ideas that fill your mind.

Before we came to Christ we were all controlled by the mindset of the world. Now that we are in Christ, our thinking must be conformed to the Scripture.

Because a Christian's body belongs to Christ, we must expend constant effort to obey the Scripture in how we use it.
