Open your eyes! The spiritual battle rages around us. But you can’t see the enemy with your physical eyes. Nor can you see Jesus standing at the Father’s right hand with your physical eyes, or any angelic warriors fighting FOR you. But they are real. And so is the adversary, and his forces. Let’s open our eyes and stay in the fight.

Sherry and I were talking about three super important things to remember today! WE HAVE Christ’s peace, Christ’s word, and our Lord’s name! That gives us THE VICTORY each day.
“Over is really under.” Here is a wonderful truth from the scriptures:
Being FREE in Christ, we can love ANYONE with God’s love.

Bible historians say Paul wrote 1 Corinthians around AD 55, during his third missionary journey, while ministering in Ephesus. You can see this from Acts 19:1—20:1 and with the epistle itself [16:8,9]. Paul started the church at Corinth during his second missionary journey [Acts 18:1–17] between AD 50 to 52, staying there for about 18 months.
Some GOOD NEWS for today! God gave us each a body full of soul life to steward and care for. We are also stewards of God’s mystery, the one body of Christ.
One of the great challenges of marriage is to become “one flesh” as God promises we can.
One couple in the early church who kept God at the center of their marriage was Aquila and Priscilla. They are only mentioned in the Bible together, never separately. This dynamic married couple grew in their spiritual understanding together as they lived with Paul and supported his ministry.
