     | 4,891 views

    Be careful, O Christian, of what you are eating and what you are offering to others to eat.

    You Are the Salt of the Earth Matthew 5:13 Introduction Last week, we saw that the Beatitudes of Jesus were not the “be happy attitudes” of Robert Schuller. What Jesus says here is far more profound that the shallow interpretation that Schuller offers. Schuler gives advice which might provide ...read more

    Isn't Jesus "the" light of the world? Why does Jesus call us the same?

    You Are the Light of the World Matthew 5:14-16 Like the previous verse concerning the believer being the “salt of the earth”, verse 14 begins with the emphatic “you”. This means that the true disciples of Jesus who hears His words and puts them into practice stands in a unique position as “the ...read more

    Is Jesus making the Law binding upon Christians in these verses?

    Neither Jot, nor Tittle Matthew 5:17-19 This text has many emphatic markers in the Greek which indicates that what Jesus says here is to be taken with all seriousness.

    How can we be more righteous than the Pharisees and the Scribes were?

    More Righteousness Needed Please Matthew 5:20-26 This verse has certainly raised its concerns in the church over the centuries.

    After All, I Didn't Kill Anybody

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 9, 2014
     | 2,724 views

    There is a good reason to avoid the near occasions of sin, but not even that is enough to make us the image of Christ.

    “What’s bothering you so much? After all, I didn’t kill anybody!” That lame excuse is often given to people who have seen another doing wrong. The wrong action could be anything short of murder. Maybe it’s a so-called “white lie,” told by somebody to ...read more

    Jesus has provided us with a blueprint—with a new way of being fully, genuinely, and gloriously human. It’s a way that goes down deep into the roots of our personalities and produces a different kind of behavior altogether.

    Ephesians 2:1-10 Matthew 5:21-26 “Be Reconciled” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor Of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I hate it when I make a mistake. I just hate it when I do something that makes someone angry at me. It’s like a heavy load on my back. And ...read more

    The biblical teaching of the absolute moral standards of God’s word has fallen on hard times. We continually in our day hear the idea espoused that because times have changed the Bible does not fit our day. The truth, of course is just the opposite.
