    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,035 views

    Nothing can hinder the Lord.

    Paul writes to the church at Corinth that “we live by faith not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5.7). This simple aphorism, often set forth as the litmus test for Christian living, is easily misused.

    Unity in Christ is a mark of the believer.

    Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you (Matthew 7.1-2). Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? … “Purge the evil person from among you.”… Do you not know that the saints ...read more
