    Heaven’s High Standard

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 10, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,486 views

    Matthew shows us Jesus as the preacher of the kingdom of heaven. He shows us just how high heavens standards are and how to properly understand the law. Be perfect, like your Father! That’s the whole point.

The beatitudes begin and end with words that describe hardship and persecution. Why? Probably because that is what those were ...read more

    We give glory to God by living a life that is consistent with the heart of the law and not just the letter of the law.

    The great preacher of many years ago, Henry Ward Beecher, had a clock in this church that didn't keep good time. It was always too fast or too slow.
