Relaxing The Least Commandment
Matthew 5:19 Are we free from the law, that is a question that need careful definition in its answer.
All Will Be Accomplished!
Matthew 5:18 Jesus is teaching on the authority of scripture and the fact that He is Himself the fulfillment of all that the Law and the Prophets wrote of. How seriously does Jesus take the scripture? If we follow Jesus, how seriously then should we take the scriptures?
The Word Richly Dwelling
Colossians 3:16-17. How does peace rule in the Christian community? What informs this peace and sets its boundaries? Paul say the Word of Christ is to inform the umpire of faith.
