    We give glory to God by living a life that is consistent with the heart of the law and not just the letter of the law.

And he fiddled with it month after month after month trying to get it right and it became kind of a standard topic of conversation in the church. ...read more

    Heaven’s High Standard

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 10, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,565 views

The beatitudes begin and end with words that describe hardship and persecution. Why? Probably because that is what those were ...read more
