Those that walk opposite, have no god, no morality, no values. This is not something that is fractional, you either have it or you do not. My comment was to your title.

Beautiful message. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes we need to be reminded of what we already know. This was the perfect delivery.

AMEN. I wish your writings good be shared on social media to reach MORE sheep. I live in the south in a very conservative state however few have awakened to see TRUTH. I agree our pastors are not doing their spiritual jobs most don’t want to deal with the backlash. Just read a great book “A Letter to the American Church”… EM God has truly gifted you as a writer. Merry CHRISTmas.

Glad you mentioned Ephesians 6:10-20, Dr. T. It's important to put on God's full armor every day.

There are many great Bible studies, but one I appreciate the most is "The Armor of God" by Priscilla Shirer (one of the two daughters of Dr. Tony Evans). Videos from Connect Church here:

Thank you Dr. T. Again, I have to share something from your writings. I love it! I've been reading Giants: Sons of God and this passage is read with a new set of eyes! Thank you for this reading as well as your sharing the books you are reading in your conversations with Dr P. You have inspired me to do the same. I would love to have more discussions on the Goliath's in our lives. God is totally bigger than any Goliath!

Thank you Dr. T. Sometimes I feel so small. But that is irrelevant when I can pray to almighty God.

I love your heart Dr Tenpenny!

Out of curiosity, have you ever researched the Old Covenant vs. the New Covenant? The verse you quote requires some context for better understanding. Covenantal context.

The conditions of God’s blessings changed when Jesus came; everything changed.

A few thoughts to consider regarding “repentance.”

Metanoia = mind change

Homolegeo = speak the same as

May we change our mind and begin to profess/confess the same things that Heaven are professing. Jesus paid the full price for our... healing, salvation, redemption, etc

May we change our mind, believing that Jesus was successful at ushering in His Kingdom.

His promises are true!!

I thought I was saved before 2020 but God used Covid to show me His Truth. I was blind but now I see! I praise God for you, Dr Tenpenny. Thanks for the practical application of how we are to respond biblically in these days against all our 'Goliaths'!

This is where we stand firmly, trusting God, realizing that He is indeed our steadfast hope both now and forever. It's a cliche, but the saying "it's darkest before the dawn" comes to mind. Never lose faith that God has a way through for each of His people. When He is your strength, you will be able to accomplish what He has planned for you. If you are on the verge of giving up hope today, remember this story and how many times God has stepped in when all seemed lost to rescue His people. I can't see my future, but God does.
