A Remarkable Man “Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead” (Galatians 1:1). Paul, the Roman name for Saul, was a remarkable man. Credited with writing most of the New Testament books, his later life was a testament of faith and
I think you will agree with me when I say that we live in a gravely dangerous time. Nothing seems to be the way it should. In America, we have a surge of illegal border crossings with a real concern that some of the “refugees” are fighting-aged men who may commit acts of terrorism in
An Eye for An Eye Is Not Okay. You have heard that it was said, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And

“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (Col. 3:17). Paul was speaking to the church at Colossae, one that was struggling with false teachers, and he wants them to know that Christ is the goal of our
