    Harmony Amidst Diverse Opinions Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 1, 2021
     | 1,953 views

    Differences between believers are not always about the Biblical vs. the Unbiblical; most differences are about the extra-Biblical or a misunderstanding of what Christianity is. We must therefore be careful in determining the hills for which we are willing to die.

    Harmony Amidst Diverse Opinions (Romans 14:1-23) 1. My young son ran to me, crying. “Daddy, I stubbed my toe,” he sobbed. “Let me kiss it and make it better,” I said. “Which toe was it?” My son answered, “The one that has no roast beef.” [rd.com] 2. Would that life was so simple. It never is. ...read more

Not in the temporary, circumstantial sense which the world talks about, but in the eternal, ultimate sense which the world knows nothing about. He tells us that true happiness comes when one gains the ...read more
