Recently I have been reading from the Book of Philippians in the New Testament. What caught my attention were the number of passages that give insight for living a life of spiritual maturity. Following are eight sections of scripture that stand out, and that provide good content for study and ...

Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. There’s a beautiful word in the Greek language that we should all be familiar with: philanthropos. Our English word philanthropy comes from this term, which of course as we ...

Chaos!  Confusion!  Lawsuits and Trials!  Assassination attempt!  Switch of presidential candidates!  Accusations!  Who do you believe?
