    A responsible earthly father exhibits the characteristics and traits of fatherhood as set forth in the Word of the Heavenly Father.

    The Sin God Hates Most Of All

    Sowing discord among the bretheren is the sin God hates most of all;is caused by pride; and is seen in the church at Corinth.

    Let me ask you a question: “Have you ever found a Christian group that doesn’t have any problems?” If so, don’t join it—you’ll ruin everything. Every person has their own weaknesses and faults; and since a church is made up of imperfect people, every church will have problems. The church at ...read more

    Samson was on the road to ruin because he fraternized with the enemy, wasted his strength and was deluded by pride.

    The story of Samson begins much like the story of the other judges of Israel. The nation was in misery because of the domination of a rival country that was oppressing them. That nation was the Philistine nation. (Interestingly, the word Philistine is where we get our word “Palestinian,” so this ...read more

    Saul did it his way because he was filled with pride, was controlled by impulse, and driven by rebellion.
