“Home is where the heart is,” so they say. I have heard this phrase often, but it did not resonate until I had a family of my own. We have lived in several apartments and houses in two different states, but we grow closer together because we are able to stay together. We have already… Continue reading The Family: A Godly Home

The Family: Biblical Parenting and Godly Children
We began this discussion of the family dealing with the husband’s duty to his wife. We followed up talking about the wife’s duty to the husband. Now, I want to focus on the parents’ duty to their children. There are several variations of homes represented throughout our culture, and many of us have or are… Continue reading The Family: Biblical Parenting and Godly Children
The Family: The Role of the “Help Meet”
We previously discussed how a marriage in God’s eyes is between one man and one woman as they become one flesh. We also looked at several verses detailing how a husband is to LOVE (which is more difficult for men), CLEAVE (hold on to), PROVIDE (be a breadwinner, but also provide emotional/spiritual security), HONOR (respect),… Continue reading The Family: The Role of the “Help Meet”
The Family: Marriage and the Role of Husbands
It is often said that the Lord established three institutions – religion, civil government, and the home. The Devil has sought to destroy these institutions ever since their initiation. We are seeing a real time attack on all of these as we look around society today. Biblically based churches are losing ground to false gospels… Continue reading The Family: Marriage and the Role of Husbands
Supernatural Stories in Scripture
I have always had a fascination with the supernatural. I remember watching horror movies as a kid and I studied the paranormal in college (you can read my Master’s thesis here). I have watched movies – including documentaries and “reality” tv shows, read fiction books, researched academic documents, and even went on “paranormal investigations” as… Continue reading Supernatural Stories in Scripture
Daily Walk (Part 4) – Prayer
We have already covered the basics of the daily walk and Bible study, but what about talking to God? This is the part of my daily walk that I most often take for granted, but I am sure that I am not alone. I hope (and pray) that my own prayer life improves after this… Continue reading Daily Walk (Part 4) – Prayer
Daily Walk (Part 3) – Bible Study
Now that we know how vital it is to have a healthy Daily Walk with the Lord, I wanted to go into some strategies on how to better communicate with God. Remember that the primary means in which God speaks to us is through the Scripture. If we are going to hear Him properly, we… Continue reading Daily Walk (Part 3) – Bible Study
Daily Walk (Part 2)
A daily walk is vital to our existence as Christians in a world owned and operated by the Devil and his systems. Likewise, there are some vital requirements to having a successful daily walk and there are vital signs by which to measure our walk. Vital Requirements Communication is vital to any relationship, and even… Continue reading Daily Walk (Part 2)
Daily Walk (Part 1)
Being as active as possible for Christ seems impossible. Did you watch a movie this week? You could have spent that time in the Bible. Did you go to the store and not witness to everyone you saw? Did you go on a hike with the family and not pull a fellow hiker aside and… Continue reading Daily Walk (Part 1)
A Portrait of an American Christian
Many of us are aware of the story of Lot, especially when it comes to the portion about Sodom and Gomorrah. We often think of him as a man who compromised his beliefs and conformed to the wickedness of Sodom; a man who offered his own daughters to the sexual perverts of the city that… Continue reading A Portrait of an American Christian
