We instinctively tend to limit for whom we exert ourselves. We do it for people like us, and for people whom we like. Jesus will have none of that. By depicting a Samaritan helping a Jew, Jesus could not have found a more forceful way to say that anyone at all in need - regardless of race, politics, class, and religion - is your neighbour. Not everyone is your brother or sister in faith, but everyone is your neighbour, and you must love your neighbour.

If you are trying to live a life in accordance with the Bible, the concept and call to justice are inescapable. We do justice when we give all human beings their due as creations of God. Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.

If you're a Christian how do you deal with stress without Jesus? You don't.

It takes both spouses to say, "My self-centeredness is the main problem in my marriage" to have a great marriage.

Prayer is the way to experience a powerful confidence that God is handling our lives well.

Jesus is not asking us to do anything for him that he hasn’t already done for us, under conditions of difficulty beyond our comprehension.

You are more sinful than you could dare imagine and you are more loved and accepted than you could ever dare hope.
