  • Ministry Kills Homes: Wisdom From Proverbs 31 About the Priority of Our Household Responsibilities

    Ministry Kills Homes: Wisdom From Proverbs 31 About the Priority of Our Household Responsibilities

    Solomon advised his sons to look for a wife who is compassionate. Compassion equals unconditional love. A compassionate woman gives of herself and makes a relationship stronger. People can be careless in their compassion, neglecting responsibilities in order to serve those in need. Often, well-meaning and tenderhearted people give so much of themselves to others…

  • Generous Servant or High-Maintenance Miser: The Excellent Wife in Proverbs 31

    Generous Servant or High-Maintenance Miser: The Excellent Wife in Proverbs 31

    I think Proverbs 31 is too often misunderstood or misappropriated to tell women exactly what they should be if they want to be godly. We know that Solomon is writing to his sons about what he advises them to look for in a potential wife. This isn’t for all women. It concerns excellent wives. Further,…

  • Is a Gay Christian a Contradiction?

    Is a Gay Christian a Contradiction?

    Is a gay Christian a contradiction? Yes, but not for the reason you might think. I recently saw someone post this graphic on social media and want to examine the claim it makes. I am a Christian. I am very conservative. I believe living in homosexuality is sinful. Let me be very clear, I do…

  • Worldview War

    Worldview War

    It is Fig Monday, and Jesus is being tested. He started teaching and healing people in the temple. A group of Pharisees tried to question His authority. After they failed, they sent their students with the Herodians to entrap Jesus—to prove He was no real teacher. Instead, they departed marveling because of Jesus’s teaching. The…

  • Tobit- Moral Living in an Immoral or Amoral Society

    Tobit- Moral Living in an Immoral or Amoral Society

    Chapter 1 v. 10-22 Tobit continues to describe his own piety. According to the author’s quotation, here, Tobit kept the Jewish dietary laws and even buried his countrymen who were slain under Sennacherib. Here, we must remind ourselves that Tobit’s character is doing something that is dishonoring to God and something that Jesus exposed as…

  • Is Christian Morality Behind the Times?

    Is Christian Morality Behind the Times?

    In Luke’s gospel, we discovered that the goal of discipleship is repentance and that God calls His people into humility. Because Christ calls us into repentance, there are many people who simply won’t become genuine Christ followers. I hear things like, “I would have to give up too much to follow Christ,” “Religious rules are…

  • The Christian and the Outcast

    The Christian and the Outcast

    I was recently working a secular job where there was very little actual care for the customers. Every way in which the business was operated only served one purpose, to get customers to spend money and to illicit customers to continue to spend money. Virtually every practice in this retail chain was ingenue or dishonest.…

  • The Importance (Necessity) of Scripture

    The Importance (Necessity) of Scripture

    In the beginning, God created people in His image. This means that people inherently have a will. We desire to see things turn out a certain way or to happen a certain way. We were created in perfection, so we must believe that it is good for us to have a will. Since we are…
