    Destroying Your Enemy

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,798 views

    Obeying Jesus’ command to love our enemies doesn’t come naturally, however. Often our first response is to retaliate. The best way - the Christ-like way - to destroy an enemy is to make him your friend! To melt an enemy, try the warmth of love.

    Opening illustration: There is a story told of two shopkeepers. Their stores were across the street from each other, and the two had a bitter rivalry. One day an angel came to one of the shopkeepers and said, “The Lord has sent me to tell you that you may have one wish. Whatever you ask for, ...read more

    Forgiveness Is Difficult

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Mar 2, 2021
     | 2,993 views

    The calling for "forgive, just as Jesus has forgiven you," and the quote from Jesus in the Model Prayer, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors," makes forgiveness a command, not a good thought or request.

    Forgiveness Is Difficult (Col. 3:12-14) Intro: A. He was betrayed by Judas and openly denied by Peter. At his trial no one stood beside him to defend him. He was accused based upon lies and misrepresentation of his words. Pilate knew he was innocent, but as a politician his position in ...read more

     | 661 views

    Loving our enemies can be impossible, or so difficult to do, but not if you know why, and the process of love and how it can overcome; turning something impossible, to something I must do.
