The Dividing Line

Recognizing that Satan could appear as an angel of light and that his ministers could appear as ministers of righteousness, the apostle Paul actually drew lines of distinction between himself and those he considered to be false apostles and deceitful workers. God has given us ways of discerning this difference without living a life of paranoia and fear. In The Dividing Line, Pastor Ellis talks frankly about the challenges all churches face in dealing with conflict, fellowship, and diverse groups of people. Speaking from experience, he teaches us to combat situational convictions, how to overcome the influence of secular humanism in the church, how to remain relevant (although not at the expense of righteousness), and much more. Pastor Ellis' book is a unique blend of spirit-led ministry and practical applications of life-changing biblical truths. His experience and candor make The Dividing Line a must-read for every Christian looking for answers to some of the toughest problems that we all face today. Author Bio: Pastor Gary D.
