Marriage matters

Honor marriage, respect singleness, and avoid divorce.

Freedom’s limits

Freedom of speech does not allow you to shout “Fire!” in a crowded cinema…

Conflict resolution

Christians are not “just forgiven;” they’re definitely different!

When leadership is lacking

There is nothing new about the abuse of power…

Appropriate appetites

The ancient Hebrews operated in a system of “primogeniture”…

God is in control, He knows what He is doing, and He will bring it to pass. Just watch!

Meditation

Busy people live at a fast pace. Their time is precious, tasks are numerous, and the demands upon them are unrelenting.

Right-hand man

Without someone behind the scenes, those in the foreground would often have difficulty functioning.

New songs of praise

The only war the church is commissioned to fight is the war against evil.
