Evil For Evil

Near the end of what we now call First Thessalonians, the apostle Paul wrote several things that are important in the life of a Christian.  One of those things is “See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men” (1

A Look At Love

It is a fact that one of the most important things that should exist in a Christian’s life is love.  Over and over this precept is taught throughout God’s Word.  It has even been noted that the Bible is a book about God’s love for us.  Some of the most well known verses of Scripture

Never Stop Confessing Christ

A true child of God cannot keep his faith a secret.  Regardless of the scenario, the Christian must be willing to acknowledge openly his confidence in Christ.  This is explicitly taught in different verses in the Bible.  First of all, consider what Jesus said.  “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess

Respect Of Persons

How do you think of yourself?  Do you consider yourself a good model of what a Christian ought to be?  Are you striving to live as the New Testament commands?  What about how you think of other people?  Are you constantly comparing the way that you act to how other people act?  How about this?
