Jesus doesn’t command an absence of hatred only. He says that love for our neighbors must shape our thoughts and motives.

Core Christianity was a broadcast that used a Q&A format to answer Bible and theology questions. Although they no longer have a daily broadcast, these past broadcast audio episodes from Pastor Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier, can give you valuable insight into Scriptural questions that can deepen your knowledge and understanding of God's Word.

God certainly has the power and sovereignty to provide financially, mend broken relationships, and heal the body, but that doesn’t mean those things will always happen. The state of our soul will always be the greater problem on the table.
Daniel reminds people in exile—people who suffer, people who feel like God is losing—that God is in control. And when we look at the cross of Christ, we're reminded that our God is in control even when the world does its worst.
Every believer has a vocation, a calling to glorify God by working in his or her station (1 Cor. 7:17). Our specific callings—mechanic, pilot, housewife, pastor—flow from our general calling to be a Christian and from the effectual call of the Holy Spirit.
Vocation is a call to love your neighbor in fulfillment of God’s law (Gal. 5:14; Rom. 13:10). Christians live for others, honoring their significance and renouncing selfish ambition (Phil. 2:3).
In a world of harsh judgments and critical insults, Christians have an opportunity for their conduct and speech to be exemplary by being gracious and uncomplaining to others in our speech rather than cruel and demeaning to our neighbors.
