But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too. If a soldier demands that you carry his gear for a mile, carry it two miles. Give to those who ask, and don’t turn away from those who want to borrow. “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.

Our world is full of moral soundbites. At first blush they sound good, but are they biblical? Join us in this Abide plan as we meditate on what God's Word actually says about many of the well known "Golden Rules."
Harboring unforgiveness can have a detrimental effect on our lives – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Withholding forgiveness from others and even ourselves robs us of the best life God has for us and can give way for bitterness to take root. In this 4-day devotional, we look at the topic of forgiveness and what the Bible has to say.
Discover the transformative power of love in this devotional, emphasizing that our love for others shouldn't be contingent on their treatment of us. Be inspired to LOVE HARDER, mirroring the unwavering, profound love Jesus showers upon us, even when our love falters.
