Nobody Is Better Than Anybody

Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Mar 28, 2019

When we are faced with someone who thinks they are better than we are we try to rise above this through the reassurance that we would never treat anyone else the way they treat us. But with that kind of attitude, are we really any better?

I myself have encountered this kind of attitude at multiple points throughout my life. I have experience it in the food service industry in which I ...read more

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

We need to look at suffering from the point of view of the great Christian thinkers of the centuries, and not lock ourselves into any one simple theory that ends up making God the culprit.

Someone has said that half truths are whole lies. One of the greatest causes for conflicts and misunderstanding among Christians through the ages has been over enthusiasm for a half truth.
