The husband must honor his wife as a fine, cherished, possibly more fragile vessel—like porcelain vs. iron—not because she is worth less, but because she is worth handling with more care.

Love Thinks No Evil

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Dec 22, 2025

If a person stores up every slight and every hurt that has happened to them, it only results in more misery. It solves nothing. If daily the mind is thinking of the evil that the person believes has happened to them, keeping a record of every wrong, it leaves no room for love.

Alba 12-21-2025 LOVE THINKS NO EVIL I Corinthians 13:5 Glynda Lomax said she once knew a woman whose heart had been broken by disappointing relationships.

THE DOCTRINE OF ANNIHILATION Love is a great motivator of people. It is also what motivates so much of what God does for us. John 3:16 clearly tells us and teaches us For God so loved the world… Why did He give His only begotten Son? Because He so loved. But there are other things that ...read more

Jonah And God's Plant

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jun 15, 2007

A Warning About Warnings Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

The warning of Christ gives us a warrant to be skeptical about all prophetic schemes of men. It gives us the authority to question and probe into the foundations and premises of all men's teachings, including our own.

Jesus loved Israel, for the Jews were God's people. He was their King, and He was as patriotic as any of Israel's leaders or kings. We cannot doubt that Jesus loved the Jews more than either Moses or Paul, both of whom were ready to perish for the sake of Israel. Nevertheless, Jesus did ...read more

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jul 6, 2010

Genesis 18:1-2 (NLT) mysteriously speaks of 3 men who visit Abraham. WHO ARE THESE MASKED MEN? (OK, so they are not wearing literal masks but their real identities are masked from us. Who are they?)
