Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013

We love immoral people by holding on to what we believe and sympathizing with the weaknesses of others because we know what our weaknesses are.

Jesus says the most important command of God for us to obey is this, “To love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and to love others.” So for the last few weeks we’ve taken some time to define what this kind of love is. We can summarize our last few lessons this way, ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

As we look at the coming of the Lord as a thief in the night, the emphasis is on the element of surprise.
