Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)

This is the million dollar question among evangelical Christians. And we will be upfront with you…there isn’t a direct answer in the Bible. So, how can we answer this question? In the same way that Scripture does for many “gray area” questions: through biblical principles. (Read on …)

I grew up in Guthrie, Oklahoma. I remember having good times growing up; but, the bad seemed to far out weigh them. I had the Absent Father Wound. Because my father was a workaholic, he never came to church with us, and very rarely came on family vacations, or any of my sports outings. For many years of my life, this led me to search for my significance in work. Thus, work became my priority too. (Read on …)

Have you ever wondered how one becomes hooked into a sexually compulsive behavior?  The purpose of this article is to show how the choices we make to handle the stress in our lives can lead to harmful compulsions later on.  Dysfunctional choices always lead to ruin in the long term. (Read on …)

Another very powerful man has fallen from power into abject humiliation.  For the past several days, as the headlines about Governor Eliot Spitzer continue to grab our attention, I have noticed any number of similarities between his life, my life, and the lives of those I know who suffer from sexual compulsions and addictions.  Spitzer’s is being railed upon from almost every corner, and perhaps rightfully so, for his hypocrisy and immoral behavior. Stories involving sex grab headlines and the press has not disappointed us.  However, unlike so many public figures and people in the press, I’m not going to be one to throw the first stone.  Some of us have been there and we know the pain that comes when our lives suddenly crash about us.  Is Eliot Spitzer a sexual addict?  I believe so and I’ll give a few reasons why.
