    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 4, 2021
     | 3,037 views

    Christians are supposed to stand out from others in their ethics, but sometimes we need both direction and permission to be different. Paul does this by means of several bullet points.

    Christian Ethics At-a-Glance (Romans 12:14-21) 1. The Law Professor specialized in teaching ethics: “You’re currently failing your ethics course,” he told me. So I slipped him a $200 in crisp bills across the table. “How about now?” I asked. The professor pocketed the money and said, “Still ...read more

So, raise your hands if you have a few enemies.” And several people raise their hands.” “Now raise ...read more

    Saul, the first king of Israel, had been a good and godly man at the beginning of his reign, but his rejection of God's plans for his life and his refusal to walk with the LORD brought about his inevitable downfall and demise.
