    Divorce is a sensitive issue that has touched a majority of lives, either directly or indirectly. With so many people affected by this issue, we need to consider what the Bible has to say and look at if from a biblical perspective.

    New Year's: Some things in life might feel like running a marathon when we’ve never run a mile before. We might feel this way about our New Year’s resolutions, or even our walk with the Lord. Faith can help us push ahead.

    Liars Or Living Letters? (1994)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 20, 2022
     | 761 views

    Christian speech involves kindness, purity and truth as the three elements of godly speech for Christians. Take away any of those three and you are in danger of being a liar when the Bible makes it clear that we are to be living letters for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    LIARS OR LIVING LETTERS? Text: Colossians 3:5-9a In the Walt Disney movie "Pinnochio" there is a scene where Pinnochio's nose grows every time he tells a lie. And the point of that scene is that the more you lie, the more you have to lie to make all your ...read more

    This begins with a skit. We're supposed to judge ourselves before we judge others, because only then will we have clear enough vision – and humility – to assess other people’s issues are. We end with a look at the Law of Love about relationships.
