    Hate

    Sometimes the Lord said some strange things that require serious thought. One such saying is this: Luke 14:25-33 Now great crowds traveled with him. And turning around, he said to them: 26 "If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers...

    Love

    There's something that the Lord said that deserves some attention; most Christians think that everything that Jesus said deserves attention but some things have more impact than others and some make a stronger call on how Christians ought to live than others. So here is the quote Matthew...

    Shephering God's flock

    Sometimes the shepherds are not right! This is for Lamm, I think she will get a chuckle and it is rich in theological significance. Beware the shepherds who seek to separate and divide! God bless.

    The widows mite.

    There's a story in the gospel about Jesus and the apostles watching the people as they give their donations to the temple offering boxes. The temple offerings were used for the upkeep of the building and possibly for the payment of the Levites and priests. The story goes like this: [41] And...

Yet no one can escape the experience of suffering or the evils in nature which seem to be linked to the limitations proper to creatures: and above all to the question of moral evil. Where does evil come from? "I sought whence evil...

    Anglicanism a reformation view

    FIRST REASON HOLY WRIT Of the many signs that tell of the adversaries’ mistrust of their own cause, none declares it so loudly as the shameful outrage they put upon the majesty of the Holy Bible.

It tells a story about greed, hate, and love with Christ at the centre but only for a moment. How very much like us it is. Christ takes pride of place...
