Pornography, pride, disunity & fruits of the flesh not only places our soul in danger, but our children are suffering for it. While we are distracted by what is happening outside, our homes lay in ruin. God is calling all believers to repentance from the sins we have allowed in, for judgment is coming on the household of God first.
Was it right for Paul to so strongly rebuke Peter?

In this sermon at Mercy Collective in Nashville, PD details his personal journey of how God taught him to walk in the Spirit. We all face the internal conflict of the flesh with the Holy Spirit, but it is in this that we learn a greater surrender to see His power in our lives like never before.
