    Heaven’s High Standard

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 10, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,432 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.

    Matthew seems to have been written to a Jewish community under fire for their faith. He talks about the kingdom of heaven in ways that suggest how hard it is to enter. The beatitudes begin and end with words that describe hardship and persecution. Why? Probably because that is what those were ...read more

    Does God will evil upon His own? Does He cause evil things to punish us?

    When It Rains on the Just (Matthew 5:43-48) “You have heard that it was said: ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

     | 44,393 views

    Some people refuse to love their enemies because it shows they have standards, that they respect themselves, that they reject bad behavior. It makes them feel God-like. But Jesus said that being "God-like" means loving our enemies. How do we do that?

    Destroying Your Enemy

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 8, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,794 views

    Obeying Jesus’ command to love our enemies doesn’t come naturally, however. Often our first response is to retaliate. The best way - the Christ-like way - to destroy an enemy is to make him your friend! To melt an enemy, try the warmth of love.
