We’ve been commissioned to do it. We’ve been empowered to do it. And we’ll be rewarded for doing it. So why aren’t we doing it? Fear. We’ve let ourselves be intimidated, dominated, and manipulated by the devil and we’ve retreated into silence.

When it comes to God, most people live in the Someday Zone. "Maybe someday God will heal me." "Maybe someday God will deliver me." "Maybe someday God will bless me." Someday...someday...someday. Everything is always going to happen someday. The good news is that God is not a someday God. He's a right-now God. He cares about you right now and he wants to bless you right now.

Particularly contentious is the notion that salvation is earned through strict adherence to the Old Testament law. Similar to other cult-like ...
