Christian Piety – First Things First

Matthew 5 deals with moral issues, chapter 6 deals with Christian piety and the spiritual aspects of our lives. Matthew 6:16-18 - Jesus assumes that we will fast, He says, "when you fast." The Jews were really involved in fasting. To the Jews, fasting was a sign of repentance. The senses are heightened during fasting.... Read More

The Ideal Resistance

Tonight we are talking about resistance against evil, and against those who harm us. Unlimited love was definitely shadowed within the Old Testament.
