Love Your Enimies

Contributed by Rajendra Kadia on Sep 14, 2016

How can we show love to the one who hates us?

Introduction: "Love your neighbor" is the commandment given by God in Leviticus 19:18 .

His mother has also been like a mother to me. "His mother in a literal sense, and mine in a figurative one." An instance of the delicacy and tenderness of Paul, of his love for this disciple and his mother, as if he were of the same family.

Rufus and His Mother (Romans 16:13, NIV) Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too. Paul continues to list people he would like his Roman readers to greet for him. Now he comes to Rufus. It is not known if this Rufus is the same one mentioned in Mark 15:21 ...read more

A God Who Satisfies

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Nov 13, 2022

Not all of us have the same wages, same privileges, same opportunities, same talents, same abilities, same health conditions! Whatever it may be, we can be 100 per cent certain that our satisfaction comes from God and not from what we have.
