“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 an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. “You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

This plan will take you on a Biblical journey exploring the truth about Jesus being Perfect!
4 Days
Our world is full of moral soundbites. At first blush they sound good, but are they biblical? Join us in this Abide plan as we meditate on what God's Word actually says about many of the well known "Golden Rules."
Harboring unforgiveness can have a detrimental effect on our lives – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Withholding forgiveness from others and even ourselves robs us of the best life God has for us and can give way for bitterness to take root. In this 4-day devotional, we look at the topic of forgiveness and what the Bible has to say.
Discover the transformative power of love in this devotional, emphasizing that our love for others shouldn't be contingent on their treatment of us. Be inspired to LOVE HARDER, mirroring the unwavering, profound love Jesus showers upon us, even when our love falters.
