Motherhood is uniquely hard, but it’s made so much harder by the pressures of others who disagree with your methods, or who push their ideas on you. Sure, we ought to seek advice, and learn from the mistakes of others. We ought to know what to expect, so […]
“For the Law was given through Moses; Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). What is the Law? The Law is the set of commandments by which we shall live without offense before God. As it was given to the Isrealites, the Law was like a […]
There are six main views of God that is held by people all over the world, whether spiritual, religious, agnostic or atheistic! There’s only one view that is correct, however. Can you identify the correct view? If not, which of these views is most consistent with your idea […]
To begin to answer this question, we need to know what adultery is. Contrary to popular belief, adultery is a consequence of divorce, and not a cause of divorce. Often, marital unfaithfulness is equated with adultery, when in fact it is simply sexual immorality within marriage, which may […]
Who is a Christian? Many people think they know what a Christian is. But most people, even those who claim to be Christian, do not. A Christian is not someone who was born Christian, the same way Jews are born Jewish. Christianity is a daily choice, not a […]
It has always amazed me how people can switch religious beliefs so easily, and accept everything taught to them on the other side as absolute truth, when they once believed they were absolute lies!!! Why are we so fickle? Why is it that we are so desperate to […]
“because you are lukewarm–neither hot nor cold–I will spit you out of my mouth” (Rev 3:16). I remember when fundamental meant a good thing! It meant that something was of paramount importance and that the person who held views of paramount importance did not easily sway to opposing […]
There are many attacks against the Christian faith and our duty to spread the good news to everyone. Most attacks are fundamental, which is to say that they try to breakdown our very belief in the existence of God, through the spread of atheism, which seems to be […]
The only constant that has been in my life is God. The only way I’ve been able to navigate this world is believing that He was right beside me. The many times I’ve thought of giving up, it was His love that stopped me. He is truly my best […]
I want to be miserable today! In fact, I’m determined to be miserable as long as it takes to get what I want… “Don’t worry, be happy!” goes the song. But they don’t understand what I’m going through! How upset and angry I am. “Don’t worry, be happy!” […]
We have a throwaway culture. When we’ve had enough of using, playing with or trying something, it gets thrown in the discard pile. Even our relationships suffer the same fate. The concept of faithfulness is hard to understand in this world, except in the areas of academic study, […]
“That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them”. (Mark 4:12) By this saying, Jesus lets us know that spiritual vision is a gift, withheld from […]
I think we all think that we are better than we really are. We would like to believe that given a moral dilemma, we would rise to the occasion and do the right thing, no matter the consequence. We are also quick to damn those who fail in […]
In your group of friends, you’re known as the ‘Christian’, ‘Goody-Two-Shoes’, and – on a bad day – ‘Bible-Basher’. You’ve learned that your opinion is not wanted, appreciated or even acceptable in group discussions. But your friend has just told everyone at the lunch table that she’s planning […]
As much as I am an idealist, there is one reality that I cannot escape – that this is indeed a man’s world! I am certain that Beyonce knows this, even though she chooses to sing songs to motivate women to see themselves as leaders, even as she […]
