Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s
SKU: CV19-N4 | by Barry Baggott
Human governments sometimes seem to be a mixed blessing: they are always necessary, yet the restrictions and duties they impose are sometimes excessive, or even tyrannical.

Excerpt — Rendez à César ce qui est à César, et à Dieu ce qui est à Dieu
Depuis presque un siècle, la Palestine était tombée sous la domination de l’Empire romain, et la plupart des Juifs en étaient très mécontents. Les travaux forcés, les symboles idolâtres étalés dans « la terre sainte », la manière dont les opposants étaient torturés et mis à mort, la perte de liberté et de dignité – tout cela contribuait à la rancœur.

$0.07The Blood of Abel: Vengeance and Grace of God
SKU: Q-107 | by Charles White“When we consider that not only must we not avenge ourself, but that we must even do good to those who hate us, it unfortunately happens to us to fall into the trap to think–even subconsciously–that all vengeance, even the very idea of vengeance, is detestable. Yet, Romans 12:9 seems to say the opposite.” A rich study on a neglected subject.
