A Declaration Of Independence

Sibling Jealousy: James' (Eventual) Turning To Jesus

Contributed by Jessica Linde on Sep 1, 2024

How To Resolve Conflict

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 26, 2002

We all live with the consequences of conflict – the hurt and pain. Jesus gives us some real advice on how to properly deal with sin and conflict – and has some surprises about a very well known section of Scripture.

How much time do we spend in conflict? It started back with Cain & Abel. You remember the story – the two first brothers argued because God favored Abel’s sacrifice more than Cain’s. You know how the story ends – with the first murder – and it seems, brothers (and even brothers and sisters) have ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 1, 2022

We must live in purity and truth, as a people dedicated to God, who celebrate Jesus as our Passover lamb. We live unleavened lives.
