What about our Christianity at work? We are supposed to think, act and speak in a certain way, but are we as reconizable on Sunday as the rest of the week? How do we maintain a Christlike character during the challenging work week? How do we get through temptations that are specific to the work environment?
Jesus talked about the God's kingdom more than any other subject. The problem is, much of it was seemingly contradictory. Let's look closer...

If as we discussed in Parts 1 of this series, there is no burning eternal torture in hell, then why does the New Testament hell talk about "unquenchable fires" and "smoke of torment"? It seems so plain at first reading. In this second of 3 parts, we talk about the what these mean in context.
Israel is a tiny strip of land in the middle of a desert area. Why is it so controversial? Why should we care? How deep into its politics should we go? Should we just be fed up with what Israel does and what they stand for, or should we be respectfully looking up to Israel for what they do and what they stand for?
Is it healthy and beneficial to "be yourself"? Should you be yourself in a relationship? Is it better or more appropriate to conform? How does being a follower of Christ come into play? Do you lose your individuality?
