    Prejudice is a social evil present in every culture of our fallen world. It is holding negative attitudes towards others based on generalizations and stereotypes, resulting in discrimination. It is forming conclusions without consulting the facts.

Race matters only to racists; the rest of us care about character. It is distressing how people have twisted this passage to justify segregation. In ...read more

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 11, 2023
     | 1,465 views

    The widow of the parable was pretty frustrated. In the Army, if soldiers feel they’ve been treated unfairly, they have several options: They can use their chain-of-command, see the Chaplain, contact Equal Opportunity, call the Inspector General’s office, or even write their Senator. We have the ...read more

THE PLAN OF SALVATION A long time ago, a Roman Jailer asked of the Apostle Paul the most important question that could ever be asked, "What must I do to be saved?" Paul’s answer was immediate, to the point, clear, and concise. ...read more

    God provides the possibility of forgiveness when we follow His program of repentance. The we can discover the product which is relief.

    As we communicate with God in the language of complaint, as we honestly bare our souls before the Father, something surprising happens. We discover that, in many cases, the fault is not with God; it is with us. The problem is not that God has turned His back on us but that we have turned our backs ...read more

    Marriage is God’s idea and God created Eve as a suitable helper for Adam. Only when couples understand the sanctity of marriage and abide by the guidelines that God has set for us will we have happy and healthy families that honor God and are a blessing to others.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (ESV) The word of God teaches us ...read more
