The Healthy Soul, Part 1: Wholeness
September 19, 2010 |

When mankind chose to sin, the wholeness was fractured. Soul, mind, spirit, and heart were split apart and are now at war within every person. We battle with plants and animals. We fight with each other. Worst, we are mobilized against God in our fallen condition. How can our fractured inner selves be restored? |

The Healthy Soul, Part 7: Stalling Out
January 16, 2011 |

The Healthy Soul, Part 8: Assessment by Mouth
January 23, 2011 |

March 20, 2011 |
|
|
|
|
|
| What has happened to the conscience of a nation that can tolerate more abortions in the last few decades than all of the soldiers who have died in all of the wars from the entire history of America? An encounter between David and King Saul shows us the way to a restored conscience. |
