“You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours” seems to be the standard cultural contract of our day. It’s an understanding based on mutual self-interest. We agree to love those…who love us in return. But on this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez explains that Jesus calls us to adopt a more revolutionary way of caring for others. In Luke, chapter 6, Jesus delivered a sermon that raised the bar beyond the tenets of “The Golden Rule.”
So many people are claiming opinions as their own "personal truth." This leads to conflicting narratives as they claim their version of reality is the right one. Confusion abounds even within the church. Who do you trust? What is truth?
The one thing we can rely on is God's truth. And we can be certain of the solid foundation of Scripture. Get equipped and fortify your beliefs with this essential resource.
