    The O.T. Lesson is about God's "plumb line" and His judgments when His commandments are not followed. Herod had a "moral" problem, yet like listening to John the Baptist but would not change his behavior. the pressures of life can challenge our own "core" values.

    What Is Truth?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,991 views

    Fact-checking rates claims as true or false. Someone cannot determine what is true unless they claim to hold the keys to truth. Civil unrest often stems from a clash of truths. It's important to know the "real" source of truth.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “What Is Truth?” based on a question posed by Pontius Pilate toward the end of our text. In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “truth” is defined as, “the body of real things, events, and facts.” It is also defined as “a transcendent fundamental or spiritual ...read more

    En años pasados, los libros de texto de literatura en el aula utilizados en las escuelas estadounidenses, tanto públicas como privadas, reforzaban los valores cristianos y los conceptos clásicos (aristotélicos) de ética y moralidad.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,075 views

    There are many within Christianity who may unknowingly deny God’s free and eternal gift of salvation by requiring a well-meaning, but a misdirected emphasis on adhering to the Law.

    There is a belief, known as Pelagianism, that has lingered in the church for over 1600 years, which does not accept that the sinful condition of humankind was inherited from Adam and Eve in the Fall (Genesis 3). It is the belief that motivated the ministry of Charles Finney, who is known as the ...read more
