What Every Girl Should Know About The Bible

The Bible has a lot more to say to women than some people think. Modern feminism has demonized the word “man” or “mankind” to the point where we miss a lot of meaning in older writings. Past authors never thought they had to say “he/she” to indicate both genders, they just said “he” when they meant both. The Bible is the same way. It is wonderful when women realize how much of Scripture is actually gender inclusive. It’s also wonderful when w...

Spirit-Filled: what it does and doesn’t mean

Evaluating Church Leaders (2 of 2) 1 Peter 5:1-4

A serious look at being BIBLICAL about LEADERSHIP. This is the 2nd part in a 2 part series. The church needs godly, biblical leaders. We can't BE that without knowing what it LOOKS like.

This is What’s Wrong with Same-Sex Marriage

Here’s what’s wrong with what they did. It is abundantly clear that the Supreme Court overstepped when they redefined marriage. This video is a careful handling of the “justifications” given for these 5 unelected lawyers to fundamentally redefine marriage. All 4 of the reasons they give fail at leading them to their radically liberal redefinition of marriage to include same-sex couples. Please consider this video and give the issue careful thought. This issue seems to be ...

The SECULAR case AGAINST homosexuality.

For those who are willing to think about this issue, even from a secular standpoint we ought to see the dangers of homosexuality. It’s not an issue of hatred or stoning gays, it’s about how our support of this dangerous behavior is going to harm society. Homosexuality has become the sacred cow of the modern liberal politics. It’s high time we removed the emotional slandering that they so often engage in and dealt with the issue in a reasonable way.

Christians justify violence against gay people! REFUTED

Why it’s WRONG to blame Christians for violent acts which they didn’t commit and they openly condemn. So many pro-gay slogans are like this one in that they ignore the real issues and just attempt to vilify anyone who would dare to say that homosexuality is a sin. I hope this video helps clear the air a bit so that we can talk about the real issues.

Commit Your Soul To God: 1 Peter 4:17-19

Chastening vs judgment. Sometimes the truths that are the hardest to hear are the healthiest for our hearts and minds. This study starts with a messianic passage in Proverbs before continuing through our study of 1 Peter. We also go over 3 ways in which the New Testament "quotes" the Old Testament. This should help clarify some common confusion.
