Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 22, 2024

However, as the days get darker spiritually and the love of people grows cold (Matthew 24:12; Romans 1:18-32), the problem of bullying is only going to grow like a cancer across ...read more

Bless Like You Never Been Hurt Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Jun 1, 2021

What is our natural response when someone hurts us? I can think of two. The first is to get back at the person in some way for what they have done to us. The second natural response is to say that I will have nothing more to do with them. God's response is that I am to bless them.

It might be easy for some of you to bless a stranger; it might be easy for some of you to bless a family member; it might be easy for you to bless a fellow church member. But I would dare say ...read more
