    How does Palm Sunday introduce a new perfect government, the government of God?

    Intro Christianity teaches that God is love. Jesus showed this throughout his ministry culminating in the epitome of Godly love on the cross.

    Is God responsible and 'endorses' or 'allows' every individual who is raised to a position of power and authority, such as Governors, Senators, Representatives, Mayors, and Presidents?

    "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

    The current uprising that America is experiencing is evidence that the basic Christian tenets upon which our nation was built are NOT being transferred or adequately taught. Man, instead of evolving upward, appears to be reverting back to barbarianism, where "might makes right"

    Why Does The Government Do More Than The Church To Help The Poor? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 26, 2015
     | 5,229 views

    This passage on the care of widows opens up a larger question: what's the place the church should have in the care of the poor (versus the place the government should have)?

    THE POINT OF THE PASSAGE: Taking care of the needy widows was a big deal in the early church. - There was a different societal structure and a lack of social safety net back then. The church stepped in to help. - Unpack some of the passage. - The passage raises a more general question: why ...read more

It’s one we don’t talk about particularly often. - As we start, I want to acknowledge up front that these passages are difficult. I want to say that I don’t like everything ...read more

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 5, 2024
     | 696 views

    Isaiah's writings contain numerous references to the rule and person of God's Messiah. There are two specific passages worth examining. The first deals with His rule as King. The other deals with the righteous kingdom He will create and rule over forever in peace and joy.

    There are verses in the Bible that bring joy and peace to the troubled soul. There are verses which give us the assurance that the promises of God are true and faithful. There are those verses which give us the affirmation that God has given us mercy and salvation we do not deserve, yet in HIs ...read more
