    Sin hinders our relationship with God, creating division and preventing fellowship. We have no way to restore that which sin has lost, but God provided the means of reconciliation through the offering of His Son.

    The Word of God is living & powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul & spirit, joints & marrow, & is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    I was watching TV the other night when a commercial came on. The narrator said these words, "We all know words have power." That got my attention. I heard that and I couldn't help wonder to myself, "Do we really?" Do we really know how powerful our words can be? Do we know ...read more

Apostle Paul wrote letters to a mixed assembly of Jews and Gentiles at Corinth; new converts, being young in the faith, and older, more seasoned members in the faith of Jesus Christ. The assembly ...read more

    As the Apostle Paul is touching upon questions which the church at Corinth requested clarification, we see a situation which further caused division among the assembly; women assuming or usurping the man’s place.

    They were angry with Gideon because they were left out and did not share in the glory. Gideon tactfully gave them the “soft answer” that healed the wounds and prevented division. Better to do that than to start another war.
