    The Golden Rule has always been popular. In fact, the reason it’s called the Golden Rule is because a Roman emperor, Alexander Severus, had this saying of Jesus engraved on his wall in gold. So let’s look at this saying of Jesus called, ‘the Golden Rule'.

You may know that ‘benefits‘ is generally described as, “something that is advantageous or good.” Sometimes, even having an ...read more

    "Love" should be more than just a buzzword for Christians. God showed his love for us when we were still sinners. Likewise, we should love our friends and our enemies alike and show it by treating them the way we want to be treated.
