Love for neighbor based on Psalm 37

Reading Psalm 37 in the Old Testament, we will come across texts that talk about how we should deal with an evil neighbor. The Psalm is very interesting and I encourage you to read it, we will learn there, among other things, about how the evil ones end up, how we should treat them and what awaits us after death.

Already in the first and second verses of Psalm 37 we read: "Fret not thyself because

Scripture and the death of children

One of the most difficult moments in a person's life is the death of a loved one, especially an innocent young child. Then we wonder, where is God? Why did he let the child die, after all, he did not manage to do anything wrong in life.

At the outset, let's clarify what death is.

It is worth reading the Book of Revelation/Apocalypse to understand the issue of the second coming of Jesus Christ, who will

Is praying to people right and in line with the teachings of Scripture?

Definitely NO. In the entire Bible you will not find a single sentence in which a servant of God prays to another person, including one who has already died. So why do Catholic churches so persistently urge people to pray to saints, the dead, the Pope, etc.?

Let's look at such a situation.

The Lord God rescues the Israelites and leads them out of Egypt. During their

What the Bible says about vows and oaths

Nowadays, the expression "I swear by God" has become quite widely used. It is uttered by young and old alike, even not always in topics related to faith. Because of overuse, the holiness of the Lord is disregarded. What the Scriptures say about swearing by God.

Leviticus 19.12 "And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the

Did Herod really give the order to kill the children

Did the murder of children as young as two years old on Herod's orders really happen? But let's first read what the Scriptures state:

Matthew 2.1-23 "[1] Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, [2] Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are

What the Bible says about tithing

Everything we have comes from God. We also live by His grace:

Psalm 24.1 "The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein."

Psalm 50.1,10-12 "The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.", "For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand

A story with Jesus

You've probably heard the phrases "Jesus died for you on the cross", "Jesus shed blood for you" more than once, but do they impress you? Haven't they become something common and don't reach your heart?

Let the following story help you zoom in on what Jesus did for you.

There is a land on earth (heaven) where three kings (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) rule. In this land there was no violence, everyone was kind and

Salvation of the villain on the cross

Along with Jesus, two villains were crucified:

John 19.18 "Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst."

At first, they mocked Jesus together:

Matthew 27.38,44 "Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.", "The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his
