     | 11,201 views

    Our sexuality is a good gift from God, to be treasured, protected and enjoyed in the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman.

In fact, for most people, the only thing they think they know about God and sex is that God is against it. Often Christians are thought to be hung up about sex, accused of viewing the human body as dirty and ...read more

    Does the Scripture require that America "turn the other cheek" following the attacks of 9/11, or do we have the right to respond militarily?

    Introduction The Story: Turn the Other Cheek The mother of four young boys often had difficulty curbing their energy, especially in church. But when her minister preached on "turning the other cheek," the boys gave him their undivided attention. “No matter what others do to us,” he said, “we ...read more

    For any marriage to succeed, partners must respond with forgiveness from the very heart of Jesus. Whether it is marital unfaithfulness, mistreatment, or any other reason, forgiveness must reign.

    Second only to our relationship with God, marriage is the single most important relationship that we will ever have. People enter into a marriage with great joy and wonderful expectations of spending the rest of their days with the love of their life. Vows are exchanged, commitments are made, and ...read more

    In order to accomplish the divine command to forgive one another, you must first learn to live your life in prayer and intercession as Jesus commanded.

    "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you that you may be sons of your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:44) Forgiveness will flow freely to a cold world only from a heart that is warmed by God’s love. Praying for those who have hurt you proves that you are a child of God and ...read more

    Lesson 13

    To this point in the Lord’s sermon He has taken us through the Beatitudes where we learned that genuine salvation begins when we realize our poorness of spirit and spiritual bankruptcy before God.

    Once again we need to be reminded that the Lord is in no way altering or changing the teaching of the Old Testament.
