God trusts us with all the possessions we have. All that we have and all that others have, has come from the hand of God. God expects us to be trustworthy with the possessions of others. That is why He gives the command, "Do Not Steal." Very often we limit our idea of stealing to simply taking money or shoplifting. There are dozens of ways we take what does not belong to us, and thus need the help of God to live a better way.
Through our life, learning to honor parents changes. When we are young and living at home, often honor is show through obedience. When we age and grow and leave home, honor is shown by kindness and respect. How do you honor a parent who was abusive or cold or distant or absent? How do you honor a terrific parent? These questions and others are addressed by Pastor Brad Johnson in Biblical, clear teaching.
If the Resurrection means anything, it means that God can take all that's dead and give it life; take all that's old and make it new; take all that's wrong and make it right. He has the power over our past and our present and our future. Easter is the greatest day of HOPE in all of history.
