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,…

Premil, Postmil, and Amil: Distinctives
There is much misunderstanding in the church about the differences between the 3 basic millennial positions. As we continue to walk through Revelation during our Sunday lunch series, I wanted to provide the distinctives. I also want to encourage you not to give-in to the sin of hasty-generalization. Even if someone technically falls into one…

While those like Dawkins find it necessary to attack maliciously the well thought out beliefs…

War itself has been attributed many causes including religion, social Darwinism, general human selfishness and various power struggles throughout the years. From the vicious land-grab of the Medieval Crusades to the battles of philosophy and science and religious ideals, humanity has always been at war with itself…

One of the greatest challenges in our society is the challenge to be real, and with all of its different contexts this challenge is probably the most agreed upon challenge presented to us within pop-culture. Many politicians urge their constituents to support them genuinely all the while pushing their own agendas rather than representing those…

For Our Graduates
I remember graduating from high school. The world felt surreal. I had no idea what was coming. All I knew is that one chapter in my life was closing and a new one was opening. This new chapter would no doubt be different. I got to the college campus at Oklahoma Baptist University and my…

Dissention, in God’s Church?
We are a Christian people. We all belong to the same God. Why is it, then, that so many times we feel as if we must slander one another in our own volition and according to our own conception (whether right or wrong)? If we are indeed God’s people, would it not make sense for…
