True Love Is Not Loving Those You Love BUT Loving Those You Really Don’t Like At All!
6For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? Matthew 5:46 Anybody can love those who love you back, those who do what you like, look like you look, do good things for you. But to love as Christ has loved my […]
Redeemed By Christ
Colossians 1:14 (ESV) 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Nothing is more basic than redemption. Without redemption we are dead. Without redemption we have no adoption by God as his child and by which we cry ‘Abba Father’. Without redemption our lives are without meaning and without peace. Without redemption we are […]

Going the extra mile is not ‘extra’ just basic Christianity
Matthew 5:41-42 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. The world around us would respond with an attack of words or worse. Jesus tells us to do more than […]
