When you hold onto your sin long enough, it can change your beliefs and move you from the principles of God’s word (1 Tim 4:1). This happens as a means of personal justification.

Reclaiming Compassion, the Problem with Socialism

December 31, 2009

Christians must reclaim compassion. Christ is the leader of compassion. The Bible is the “bible” on compassion. No one has more authority to speak about compassion than Christians. The problem is that many are stuck on clichés and ideas that are not based on truth when it comes to compassion. What they call compassion is … More Reclaiming Compassion, the Problem with Socialism

The Church As The Means of God’s Government
