    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 13, 2023
     | 1,341 views

    Where do we cross the line from the legitimate to the revengeful? This is one of the most difficult areas of our Christian lives personally to evaluate. Does any form of vengeance or retribution lie with us? Let us consider the Lord, Stephen and Paul. I have been there.

    THE RETRIBUTION OF GOD AND COMBATTING INJUSTICE – THE CHRISTIAN POSITION ON RETRIBUTION: WHAT DO WE DO? - PART 5 [A]. THE CHRISTIAN POSITION ON VENGEANCE AND INJUSTICE Having looked at various examples from the Old Testament and drawing certain conclusions from them, we now turn the spotlight ...read more

    Spirit Of The Law Part 1

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 27, 2023
     | 809 views

    Who better to give a commentary on the Old Testament than it's author, Jesus? Let's look at the Spirit of the law in Matthew 5.

    The best commentary on the Old Testament is by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. In each case we learn several things, 1) the Spirit of the law, 2) our utter failure to live up to it, and 3) our need for forgiveness and mercy. Let’s begin to understand the intent of the law by its author. Let’s ...read more

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5

    Matthew 5:13-14 (Jesus Teaches about Salt and Light) If a seasoning has no flavor, it has no value. If Christians make no effort to affect the world around them, they are of little value to God.

    Jesus On Adultery And Lust

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 10, 2024
     | 1,349 views

    Jesus teaches on lust. It isn't something preachers generally like to speak about but it's really important. Jesus shows how God's commandment on adultery needs to be practised and he tells us how we can do it.

    Western society is completely comfortable talking about sex. Most people think a lot about sex. Especially men. The Bible talks a lot about sex too. Most preachers, however, do not like to talk about sex. When preachers preach on the Sermon on the Mount, they talk about the Beatitudes. There ...read more

    Is the Law of the Old Testament good toward our salvation and sanctification, or not?

    Sixth Sunday in Course 2023 Today we have an opportunity to reflect on the longest psalm in Scriptures, which is numbered 119.

    Epiphany 6. In His sermon on the mount, Jesus expounds on murder, adultery, and lying. He makes it clear that these sins are significant, that they reach, infect, and pervade us all, so that there is no righteousness in us, and our righteousness must be found in Him.

    Matthew 5:21-37 Epiphany 6 A J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “Murderers, Tramps, and Liars” In our Gospel reading, we hear Jesus continue His sermon on the Mount. He has ...read more

    Third Rail: Sex Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024
     | 626 views

    We don’t talk about sex because it is only a symbol, a surrogate for what we really long for - a deep and unwavering connection of our soul to God’s heart.

    There are several iconic contemporary proverbs that swirl around us. One of the most familiar may be, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex in polite company” or slightly modified for pastors, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex on Sunday morning if you want to keep your job.” ...read more
