Jesus calls us to a life free from sin, cautioning that not following His path is ultimately...

Scripture teaches that the power of government comes from God, as seen in Daniel's acknowledgment that God gives power to whom He chooses and Paul's declaration that "the powers that be are ordained of God" (Romans 13:1). While trusting God to work out what is best, this does not mean disengagement. Christians are encouraged...

Today, many face the same issue by not studying the Bible. II Timothy 2:15 encou...
