    Deliberate and Habitual Sinning

    “Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old...

    Without Prophetic Vision, No Restraint

    Select verses Proverbs 29 ESV 18 Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law. 19 By mere words a servant is not disciplined, for though he understands, he will not respond. 20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There...

    In Your Struggle Against Sin

    The Struggle “Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons...

    For those struggling with laziness

    Suffering Has a Purpose

    We are all going to go through trials, difficulties, and sufferings in this life, whether we are a Christian or a non-Christian.

    Eliminating Distractions

    Dogs can be hilarious and even annoying with their ability to get distracted. Often cats get pegged as the curious ones, but I have seen more dogs get into trouble being curious and lacking caution. After Evie and I got married, we got a labrador retriever named Callie. Overall she was a...

    What is your philosophy on telling teens how to dress?

    I'm a believer in letting kids decide how to dress, but I'm having a strange issue with my daughter (the opposite of what you expect!). My daughter LOVES wearing this full suit every day to school. She is a teenager. She thinks it's "cool". Should I gently encourage her to dress a bit lighter or...

    Is Purity Possible?

    Psalm 119:9a NASB How can a young man keep his way pure? How Can We? I live in the USA (America). And, I regularly ask myself this question, “How can a young man keep his way pure?” Only, it is more like, “How can anyone keep his way pure?” Why do I ask this regularly? Because, no matter...
