The Paths Of Righteousness Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

In every issue of life the believer has only one question to answer to determine the will of God, and that is, what is right and just? Not, what is the majority for, or what is best for the majority, or what is best for me and my group, but what is just?

A study of God's nature as just and righteous leads to the conclusion that one of our popular explanations of things is not true. We have all heard the saying that God loves the sinner but hates the sin. It sounds good and seems to be a helpful way of explaining God's attitude to man. ...read more

The American Philosophy

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 9, 2021

God blessed this nation over the two hundred and fifty years it has existed, but our sins and growing hatred of God has reduced it to a rubble of what it once was. Can anything be done for America to steer it back to its Judeo-Christian foundation? You may not like the answer.

Considering all the anger, rage, chaos, and moral rot we see in this country, I saw no need to change what the Lord had impressed upon me. Even now it cries out to anyone having ears to ...read more
