    "but I Want To Fight Back!"

    Contributed by Randall Long on Apr 1, 2019
     | 3,437 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

    The church today needs to take a radical new look at love. However, the kind of love that God calls us to is impossible. Jesus said, “You can do nothing.” Feeling inspired yet? (Matt. 5:38-48).

     | 5,347 views

    A Christian goes beyond what is required by the Law. He is not only righteous in appearance, in action, but in character, obedient to God on the inside.

So she asked for the engagement ring and her picture, so that she might have use for it in the future. He ...read more

    Why should we love those who hate us? Well, when we do, we show God’s love to them. It also sets a good example for us to follow, and it turns enemies into friends.

    Good morning boys and girls! Has there ever been a time in your lives when you did not like someone? Why? Sometimes it’s not easy to like people, especially when people haven’t been nice to us. I know, because when I was your age a lot of kids at school didn’t like me. In other ...read more

    In the “flesh”… • When I am wronged I demand my rights In Jesus’ kingdom… • When I’m wronged, I am to relinquish my rights

    We live in a culture that seems to be increasingly focused on individual rights. In some ways that is not all that surprising since our country was founded, in large part, in order to protect the rights of the individual. Our founding documents contain many references to those rights: • The ...read more
