Love Unquenchable

Contributed by Richard Tow on Feb 1, 2016

In many sectors of our society “tolerance” is equated with “love.” But is that a biblical concept? God is love; but was He tolerant of Sodom’s sin? Perhaps current assumptions about what love is should be examined in the light of biblical revelation.

Love Unquenchable (10-18-15 www.LifeChurchSpringfield.org) I take as my theme these words from Song of Solomon 8:7 “Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can the floods drown it….” On November 5, 1982 a precious gift from God was laid in my arms. Jeanie and I named her Kathy Jean ...read more

Love Your Enemies

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 7, 2022

Christ said to love your enemies. That takes His grace and the power of the Holy Spirit to do because it is not in our nature.

It is easy to see that Christians are surrounded by enemies on nearly every side. The irony is that while so-called Christians persecuted the Jews for centuries it is the Israelis who are our biggest friends. True, some of the Ultra-Orthodox may not think kindly of us, but other Jews see us as ...read more

Even Sinners Do That

Contributed by Wiley Hughes on Jul 8, 2022

We are all sinners and Christians are just sinners saved by God’s wonderful grace. As redeemed people we should try to live better and love better, not just live and love naturally because even sinners do that. Christians should live and love supernaturally.

How To Get Rid Of Your Enemies

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 14, 2022

The world is torn apart by people reacting to their enemies in ways that just cause further provocation and pain. We all need to know God's way for responding to those who come at us as enemies.

What do you do when people do nasty things to you? What do you do when things happen like someone treating you like an enemy, hating you, cussing you out, abusing you or stealing your coat? That makes it harder to be a Christian, doesn’t it? Everyone here has had an encounter with someone who is ...read more

Words matter. Words communicate. As a master teacher Jesus used words and literary devices to enhance his teaching with great power and insight. He often used 'hyperbole.'
