     | 17,360 views

    In the game of "Clue" the person who died was "Mr. Boddy." In the Scripture, the person who died was us - we died in our sins. But what killed us, and whose fault was it that we should be counted dead?

    "but I Want To Fight Back!"

    Contributed by Randall Long on Apr 1, 2019
     | 3,554 views

    Instead of fighting back when someone does us wrong, we can witness that He is greater than whatever has been taken from us.

    The teaching in today's passage is hard for the average person to swallow. When I first read it as a child, I flat-out told Jesus He was wrong. Adolescence refined me; in high school I remarked that this was a lovely thought, but that it just wouldn't work in the real world. Oddly ...read more

    Love your enemies

    There is a sign in the Princeton University Store basement which cleverly suggests: "Love your enemies—it will drive them crazy."
