July 1, 2020

This series emphasizes that words matter, and we see that in these oaths that Jesus talks about. "Let your yes be yes, and your no be no." Don't varnish it, don't make it sound better than it is; let's be straightforward and clear with our words.

Free Resource | Does the Bible Promote Tolerance or Intolerance?
One group says the Bible is a book about love, mercy, and kindness. They think of the story of the Good Samaritan and of Jesus telling us to turn the other cheek. So how could anyone think the Bible prevents a tolerant society? But for another group, the Bible is far from tolerant. There’s the conquest of Canaan. There’s Elijah killing Baal’s prophets by his own hand. And in the New Testament, Jesus talks often about hell. That’s not tolerant. What then can we say in answer to this question?

We need to approach this passage with humility so as not to miss something that may be lurking in our lives. This pertinent passsage examines our lives, and we need to come to it with humility, openness, and an acknowledgment that it comes from our loving Lord Jesus.

Worship is very important, but here Jesus is placing a high premium on reconcilliation before worship. It all comes back to the issue of not being individualistic in our idea of God. Our relationships with other people actually matter in our act of worship because we go to church as a community.

We continue looking at our attitude toward church and those in it. How we feel about the people is a reflection of how we feel about God. It is so important that when we love Christ, we love His people.

Righteous anger is an expression of love. Unrighteous anger is not. If there's any doubt as to which you are feeling, it's more likely your anger is unrighteous, especially if you stand to gain by its expression and the other person will lose.

There can be chaos in the state of higher biblical learning today with many opinions and people taking sides. But it is wonderful to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to his teaching, which is very clear in the Sermon on the Mount.

Be encouraged! Don't let anyone tell you that your role as a Christian at home or at work is insignificant. It has global, salt-of-the-earth, light-of-the-world significance! This means that everything we do as a Christian has purpose and a global impact.

We tend to rely on authorities and look for footnotes, but the Sermon on the Mount is the King teaching about the Kingdom. When Jesus says, "I tell you," it's a claim to supreme authority.

The idea of meekness is power under control. So it's not weakness, and it does include boldness. A meek person has been well trained; he or she is not easily frightened or apt to run away.

We are able to communicate with people all around the world through social media in a high-tech reality that we never could have imagined just a few years ago. But we also long for a high-touch reality.

Perhaps you've been looking in all sorts of other places for God. You've gone to people trying to sort out your problems. Jesus says He is the blessing, and if you really seek Him with a pure heart, you will find Him!
