    A Kingdom Of Faithfulness Series

    Contributed by Danny Davis on Feb 2, 2014
     | 4,257 views

    Jesus taught about divorce. He called believers to a life of faithfulness. Unfortunately, sometimes faithfulness is abandoned and lives are destroyed. What is our response to those who experience the pain of divorce and unfaithfulness?

    Picture the scene in your mind. Jesus is teaching from a boat on the shore of the Lake of Galilee. There is a breeze blowing as he nods in the direction of a farmer in the distance. He is sowing seed in his field. As they watched the farmer at work, Jesus used the scene to teach a lesson about ...read more

    Looking For The Escape Clause?...the Good Samaritan

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 12, 2022
     | 3,084 views

    The story of the Good Samaritan was Jesus' way of blasting our excuses for trying to get out of obeying God to demonstrate compassion for the needy. An escape clause is a device in a contract to elude responsibility!

    1. We must face the reality of evil in the world. 2. God has given governments the responsibility for the restraint of evil in the world. 3. If war becomes necessary, it must be done justly.

    Paul has some thought provoking and compelling words in Romans six. Words that are designed to cut to the heart of the listener. Words that are well chosen to solicit a quick response from the heart of the Christian and the backslider.
