    Karl Marx said, "If I can steal their history I can steal their country." It is about time that Christians stop this theft and stand up for Christmas again!

    Fought/ fight = agony. Literally – “I have agonized over a worthwhile struggle”. At the end of Paul’s life, he declared that as for his faith, it was strong because he fought to keep it that way!

    Do Not Take Side Series

     | 6,854 views

    One of the great characteristics of the body of Christ is to care about the burdens and sufferings of one another. However, as we seek to console and encourage friends that have been offended, we may be tempted to take up their offense against another.

    In sympathy, we may tend to take their part against the pastor, the church or whoever they blame for the offense. This is very unwise and an unscriptural thing to do, considering that your friend may be the cause of his own/her offense, or trying to drag you out of faith. His/her hurt feelings may ...read more
