In both Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:27, Jesus calls for believers to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. We can learn how to apply Jesus’ command in our own lives by following the fullne...

Death. The very word can trigger images of darkness, men and women in black, of grief, and for some, fear. But God doesn’t want us to live in fear nor defeat. He wants us to live, and die, with the co...

Maybe your life has been more than untouched by trouble, perhaps you have encountered genuine harm, or you have been visited by evil? Why would the Lord say this, if the opposite a...
