Series: Wow! Whose Beautiful Young Daughter Is That? (Part 7) I Will Not Marry Ruth And Pollute My Family – She’s Not My Type

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020

Prejudice causes us to treat others as inferior which is inappropriate for a Christian. The Holy Spirit does not discriminate. God is no respecter of person. Jesus mingled with sinners. For the next of kin to reject Ruth because he did not want to stain his honor was prejudicial.

Don't Let Your Haters Get You Down

Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 14, 2013

It is a great mystery to me; I truly cannot understand how people with Jesus in their hearts can be so hateful and hurtful towards one another? How can they be so impatient and angry at each other? When that should love each other instead.
