I often hear people say if they had lived in Bible days things would be easier. An interesting thing is that little has changed in the last 2000 years. The Apostles and Jesus encountered the same issues as today and even worse. They warned against the very sins that we face today.

We had a very stimulating Bible study this week about what we think and how to consider what we think. The Devil doesn’t care what runs through our minds as long as it’s not power worthy.
