It will be conquered when the church stands up boldly and says, "We have dominion over the earth."”

Knowing He did this will transform us from the inside out.”

“Jesus compares the coming judgment to a fisherman who brings in his haul of fish and separates the good fish from the bad (Matthew 13:47–50). What does he do with the bad ones he doesn't want? He throws them away. He obviously doesn't torture them. They simply die. So too, Jesus says, at the final judgment angels will separate the righteous from the wicked and toss the latter into the furnace. They will go up in flames. For first-century listeners, this "destruction by fire" would not conjure up images of eternal hellfire but rather a house fire—or the execution of criminals by burning. Someone burned at the stake weeps and screams in anguish while dying. But they don't weep and scream for ten days or ten millennia or ten billion years. They die.”

“Jesus condemned no one except hypocrites.”
“Jesus confronted many of the important issues of His time. He went into the temple, taught the New Testament message, and took action against those who were buying and selling on holy ground. He healed the widow, forgave the adulterer, and by His example, the righteous walked away in shame. He had said, whoever is without sin, cast the first stone (John 8:7 - paraphrase)! Not one pebble, nor one rock was thrown. He who had that right to judge, Jesus Christ, did not cast judgement either. He looked upon the sinner lovingly, and embraced them. He guided them to change and opened blind eyes to see. By Christ alone, was and is salvation attained. Truth is in the New Testament, and a Holy Spirit-guided understanding of it. It must be read without regard for self. For when self enters in, that is when misinterpretations and heresies arise.”
“Jesus continues to offer light, joy, and peace to today's generation.”
“Jesus conveyed the impression of complete love, compassion, kindness, and infinite patience.”

“Jesus defeated death by his own death. Satan sought to be the devourer, but he ended up being the one devoured—because God cannot die. As God, Jesus is life, and so death has no power over him. Jesus—who is both God and man—suffered and died and rose again in his human body. With his flesh and blood intact, he destroyed death and made captivity captive.”
