Loving Your Neighbor as Yourself
With the economy being what it is these days, it is harder for people to make ends meet, let alone show a lot of charity towards others. As a matter of fact, often when the economy is bad, people tend to look out for number one and are perhaps even tempted to cheat others in […]
Recommended Activities for Young Families
We live in an age in which our time is a precious commodity. In many homes, both mother and father are working, sometimes on different shifts. After school is out and the work day is over, the family scatters in different directions because they’ve obligated themselves to various programs and activities. The families that make […]
Love Your Brother
To me, the word “love” is one of the the most pleasant words I have ever heard and had the pleasure to use. I do not know of anyone who does not like the word “love.” But the funny thing is, many Christians sometimes act like they have never even heard of the word when […]
“Love Thy Neighbor and Thy Enemy”
“Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy: but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the […]
The Love of God
The love of God is always a worthy subject to examine. God shows His love in different ways, but two immediately come to mind. The first way God shows His love is through physical blessings we receive. Matthew 5:45 says, “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he […]
Love Is the Bond of Perfectness
“And above all these things, put on love which is the bond of perfectness” (Col. 3:14). The Colossians, who had been encouraged to “put on” a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering and forgiveness, were instructed to compliment them all by putting on love. Paul called love “the bond of pefectness.” The Greek word […]
“Love as Brothers”
First Peter teaches us about our behavior and hope in a time of suffering. We are to patiently endure mistreatment (2:18-23). We are not to be ashamed to suffer as a Christian (4:14-16). We are to cast our care upon God, knowing He cares for us (5:7). In several places, we are reminded to love […]
Love
Peter said we must add love to our faith (2 Pet. 1:5-7). This is the last item he listed, but by no means the least. In fact, Paul said, “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1 Cor. 13:13). Without love, all is vain, even the highest […]
Lord, Be Glorified in My Life
In 1978, Bob Kilpatrick wrote the words to this beautiful hymn. In this hymn, it talks about different ways we should glorify the Lord. In My Life When we think about this aspect, what are some ways we can glorify our God in our life? First, you can confess your sins. Confession of sin glorifies […]
Faithfulness in Two Covenants
One of the most diabolical works of Satan is that he gets us to rationalize our unfaithfulness. If I want to drop my allegiance to God, I may state that it, in some way, causes me too much pain in my life. If I want to drop my allegiance to my spouse, I may state […]
