    Making a case for women in leadership

    Already did during the study and took it to Greek instructors/ students as well to question the phrase of husband of one woman.

    Making a case for women in leadership

    I had to to do a deep study on this topic. To sum up many hours of study and preparing a lesson. God has different roles for men and women. Leadership in the home is similar to the church. Elder/overseer/bishop has only male pronouns including historically a male role. Scripture mentions...

    The Holy Things Of God

    May we never make the holy things of God as common things. Amos 5:18-27 NIV 18 Woe to you who long for the day of the Lord! Why do you long for the day of the Lord? That day will be darkness, not light. 19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he...

    Thursday to Friday: Road to Redemption

    Possibly. The details of the start is mixed within the details of the Jewish mode of reckoning a day, the start of Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and three calendars of Jewish, Julian, and Gregorian. I agree that the start of the 3 day event is debated but one thing we know for sure...

    Thursday to Friday: Road to Redemption

    THURSDAY Maunday Thursday reminds us of the Passover meal. The Passover meal is rich with tradition, history, and hope for those who partake of it. The seder meal would be symbolic as each item on the plate would call the participants to remember the Exodus event. The bitter herbs remind...

    My Hill To Die On

    Anyone with conviction has their hills worth dying on. To make things even more complicated, those convictions can shape a whole mountain range of hills that people will say are worth dying over. Many hills are stacked with the bodies of those who were convicted to stand. Different ideologies...

    Have Front Porches Gone the Way of the Dinosaur? (Are Front Porches Extinct?)

    We love our front and back porches. But also have a sitting area away from the house. The front catches most the sun. But yes, that porch has had family gatherings, Bible studies, guitar strumming, relaxing, wife's tea time with friends, therapy, etc. Occasionally we get neighbors pop up but...

    Is a child of God always in the grace, love, and kingdom of God?

    Legalism isn't Biblical. To constantly have to maintain salvation is impossible. Faith in what Christ has done is salvationally the only response required. Everything afterwards is sanctification or a process that will involve moments of failure. I don't see OSAS as Biblical but I do see...

    Encounters and Calling

    I agree. That was point. Encounters are only Biblical if they do not contradict, add, or takesl away from scripture. If they do, then they should be ignored at best.

    Encounters and Calling

    In the year 610 CE, the Prophet of God experienced the first divine revelation. He was alone in the cave of Hira, deeply immersed in meditation, when the angel Gabriel appeared to him with God's words. “The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to my prophet was in the form of good dreams...

    Becomes Trump a dictator?

    A possibility but with the cutting of red tape, tax breaks, cheaper to export, oil prices down, and last I heard 70+ countries ready to make deals and so far it seems many are leading towards 0%. This potentially will give us buffer room for the lag time of domestic company investment. Which is...

    Becomes Trump a dictator?

    I don't think so. As the leading consumer nation in the world, the world like it or not has to negotiate with us. Also, if the economy is doing great by the end of the 4 years, it would be stupid for the next administration to choose those policies to attack. If they were wise, they would only...

    Becomes Trump a dictator?

    Regardless even if true, several decades is better than doing nothing. But it won't take several decades because the tax breaks have just been passed as permanent and reestablished. If the Rhinos and democrats don't screw up the extra tax breaks in Congress then you will see more money in...

    Is a child of God always in the grace, love, and kingdom of God?

    The condition is through faith. To apostate is to abandon faith. Hebrews 11:6 New King James Version 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
