    Paul instructs saintly wives. Wives are to be subject to their own husbands as to the Lord. He explains what he means and why. According to the created order, the husband is the head of the wife like Christ is the head of the church. Christ is the savior of the church body, so the…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 17:1-7

    Moses strikes the rock and Horeb, and water springs forth. This could be miraculous, or as has been normative for God with Israel, He could have revealed the location of a hidden spring that was covered by a rock. There is a split rock in Horeb today, and many people want to claim that it…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 16:22-36

    God kept the manna from appearing on the sabbath day. Even though they had enough, some Israelites go out to gather more on the sabbath day despite God’s instruction for them to rest.

    In our modern day, people try to redefine themselves into cultural categories according to their feelings and the nurture of their society.

    God has made a certain promise a few times now to Abraham. He will have a son by Sarah. From that son will come many nations, so many descendants that if anyone can count the stars, they can also count Abraham’s descendants. Abraham and Sarah are both beyond childbearing years. Yet, God assures them about…

    After He predicted the destruction of the Temple, Jesus taught about the kingdom of heaven as a kingdom that the master had left in the charge of his servants during his absence.
