Snares

Sermon by John O. Reid

Even as the world contains bait and switch schemes and false advertising, so also there are spiritual snares, far more dangerous than physical ones.

Fear can be broken down into two broad categories: the fear of God and the fear of everything else. If we fear God, we will not need to fear anything else.


Spiritual Blindness: Choosing a Curse

God proclaims a cause-effect relationship between sin and madness, blindness, and confusion of heart. Sin causes blindness, and blindness begets more sin.


God's Rest (Part 3)
