    Enemies: Don't Deny It, You Do Have Them

    Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Sep 2, 2023

    We like to pretend we are far too nice to have enemies. But the bible is realistic. It doesn't try to pretend we don't have enemies. Instead it tells us how God wants us to treat them...

    Who is your enemy? Who is your enemy? You are probably going to reply to me “I don’t have any enemies….” Afterall it hardly seems very nice to have enemies? “Live peaceably with all” said our reading (at least if I cut out the words that came before) Surely if I am a Christian I am not allowed to ...read more

    The philosophy of the Jews can very well be said to be the philosophy of modern man. Love your friends and hate your enemies.

    The philosophy of the Jews can very well be said to be the philosophy of modern man. Love your friends and hate your enemies. On the surface, this would seem the logical thing to do. It is the main theme of most philosophy, religion and tradition. Only in Christianity do we find this original and ...read more

    Isa 53: 3 Jesus Was Despised Series

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 15, 2024
     | 827 views

    In Theology, if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can assume that God is making an effort to get our attention on the issue. So it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to know that Jesus was despised.

    There is a general rule in Theology that if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can safely assume that God is making a determined effort to get our attention on the issue. And so it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to face ...read more

    Responding To Rejection

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 923 views

    When we are ignored or face rejection, how must we respond? Most of us may show our frustrations and react in an un-Christ-like manner.

As a former atheist, himself, the professor thought perhaps the owner wanted to make believers angry. “The anger helps the atheist to justify his atheism,” he explained. Then he ...read more

    You cannot read the New Testament without seeing that any person who names the name of Christ is called to live on the high level of returning good for evil.

    Introduction: This morning we come face to face with a practical problem confronting everyone here; namely, overcoming our resentment toward people we don't like. In our scripture today, Jesus suggests the higher call of Christian discipleship is not how well we get along with our friends, but ...read more
