The seventh commandment deals with adultery. This commandment defends the sanctity of the home. The Bible has a great deal to say about the sanctity of marriage.

However, because adultery is widespread across this country, many pastors know that if they preach on such a subject, it may cause some serious problems in their church. But a pastor that is called to preach the Word of God, does not make his decisions based on what the congregation wants to ...read more

Legal Counsel For Christians Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 4, 2023

Jesus provides counsel on domestic disputes, sex crimes, adultery and divorce; and He even says something that can be applied to swearing on the Bible in a court of law. Jesus, being part of the court of heaven, knows about legal matters!

I have entitled our message for this morning, “Legal Counsel for Christians.” You may not realize it, but the Bible is full of courtroom imagery. The most noteworthy example is the great white throne of judgement seen in the book of Revelation (20:11-15). Did you know that Jesus will be there ...read more
