Men and Women: The Primary Distinction
In Chapter 1, we established the equality between men and women. Without considering the doctrine of the Imago Dei (Image of God), equality is impossible in the world. While Genesis 1 presented no differences in the roles or places of men and women, Genesis 2 does. In Genesis 1, we read an overview of the…

Men and Women: 1 The Issue
In our modern day, people try to redefine themselves into cultural categories according to their feelings and the nurture of their society. When we don’t learn about our purpose for life, when we are not raised as disciples of Christ, we are left to invent ourselves without purpose. Without purpose, we will always define our…

Daily Devotional: Romans 14:1-12
Paul reminds us about what the truth of the gospel means in our lives. Life isn’t about us. Every person, whether in the faith or not, lives and dies to God alone. The Lord alone makes a person stand or fall. If God has accepted someone, who are we to reject that person by judging…

When Jesus Went To Sin City
I was told by another pastor that the church I pastor is full of horrible people. This other pastor was not wrong. The Church at Sunsites is a local church full of unrighteous people whose only hope is to be clothed in Christ’s righteousness and be sanctified by His Holy Spirit. Really, I pity those…

Late Night Rant #2
Media I can’t stand it. Music, movies, games that seem to include everything that I stand against! It seems they all now openly represent, in the wrong light, sex, drugs, language, violence, and self-promotion. The worst part is, my brothers and sisters in Christ not only sympathize, but also support what should be the false…
