Loving Your Rights Or Your Right To Love Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 22, 2009

Be Encouraged! Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 5, 2009

Paul’s final theological words to the Romans hold a lot of weight. But in some ways Paul says to ’lighten up!’ when it comes to dealing with people who are different than us in the body of Christ.

We’ve been talking a lot about getting along in a hostile environment. That, to use an old adage, honey attracts more flies than vinegar.

Illus: God let Methuselah live on this earth for 969 years, and the only thing ...read more
