The Profitable Woman Against the Yokes of Welfare and Dependency: Wisdom from Proverbs 31
Proverbs 31 is not a note Solomon wrote telling women exactly what they need to do to be godly. Instead, it is a note from Solomon to His sons about what to look for in a woman. So far, everything we have read elevates women and is countercultural even in our own day. When worldly…

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? 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…

Foundations for a Good Marriage: Bathsheba as The Biblical Example of an Excellent Woman in Proverbs 31
Solomon has already passed his mother’s advice on to his sons, Do not give your strength to women, Or your ways to that which destroys kings (Proverbs 31:3). He now poses an interesting question in that context, As we saw when we looked at verse 3, the worldly dating scene and everything it represents is…

Speaking for the Unspeaking: Bathsheba’s Advice to Her Grandchildren About Living Justly in Proverbs 31.
Solomon advised his children using the words of his mother, Bathsheba. Don’t give your strength to women. Don’t live such a lifestyle by which you drink wine or desire strong drink. Essentially, don’t live life for the purpose of satisfying yourself. When we live life to satisfy our own lusts, hungers, or thirsts, we come…

A Biblical Consideration of Ordination for Ministry in the Modern Church
Would you recommend some resources about ordination? I remember the day I was ordained. It was a Spring day after having been before a counsel of local pastors for the purpose of examination. I stood before my local church in Durham, North Carolina to be affirmed by the entire congregation. It was a sweet moment.…

The Wondrous Position of the Woman: The Unburdened Implications of Genesis 2 In Apologetics
Genesis 1-11 is not a scientific account like we often treat it today. Neither is it an etiology like other Ancient Near East texts. Moses is not trying to tell Israel how the world came to be. He is trying to convey to Israel why God chose them and freed them from slavery. Moses answered…

Sips of Wisdom: Bathsheba’s Teaching on the Subject of Alcohol Consumption for Her Grandchildren in Proverbs 31:4-7
We remember that Proverbs is not a book about the Law. If we don’t take Solomon’s advice, we are not “in sin.” Solomon wants to share his wisdom with his children to show them that there is a good path and a path that leads to destruction in life. In the previous section, we learned…

“Don’t Give Your Strength to Women”: Bathsheba’s Wisdom for Her Grandchildren in Proverbs 31:1-3
I want you to imagine, for a moment, that you are walking down a path and come to a fork. You must veer right or left. You must choose which way to travel. How do you decide which path to take? If I don’t know what is coming, I will just go down one path…

Let’s Start a Fire: Encouragement in the Tribulation Mentioned in 1 Peter 1:1-9
Peter’s eschatology in the New Testament is interesting to me. It seems to go against the grain of the rest of the Bible. Throughout all of Scripture, God promises to never again destroy the world despite the wickedness of people (cf. Genesis 8:21-22). In fact, God intervenes to prevent destruction and even sends the Son…
