Thereâs something profoundly broken in how men view women todayâand it didnât happen by accident. From a young age, boys are bombarded with sexualized images of the female body at a scale never before seen in human history. Algorithms push it. Culture glorifies it. But at the same time, those same boys are told that the natural attraction they feel is something to be ashamed of. Theyâre taught that their desire is toxic. That their masculinity is dangerous. That to simply notice the … [Read more...] about Men: Reclaiming Whatâs Been Lost
Unity
Is God Truly Unknowable? Â
For centuries, mainstream Christianity has taught that the Trinity is a divine mysteryâsomething beyond human comprehension. Many theologians insist that we âcannot fully understand the nature of God.â But does this idea align with Scripture? Jesus Himself said, âHe who has seen Me has seen the Fatherâ (John 14:9). And âI have come to reveal the Fatherâ (Matthew 11:27). If Christâs purpose included making God known, should we accept the idea that His nature is unknowable? Many … [Read more...] about Is God Truly Unknowable? Â
Marriage, a Safe Haven
God instituted marriage and the family for procreation to teach us about how He lives. He wants mankind to know what motivates Him, what His purpose is for mankind, and how His nature and character developed in human beings would give families peaceful relationships. If mankind functioned in marriage the way God intended, this world would be a vastly different place. The dysfunctional families that are increasingly the norm would seldom exist. However today we see the removal of any … [Read more...] about Marriage, a Safe Haven
The Silent Division:Â Mixing Politics and Faith
In the tapestry of a religious environment, unity and fellowship should be the guiding principles that weave individuals together. However, in recent times our church community has been experiencing a shift. An often-overlooked aspect lurks beneath the surface, causing subtle ruptures among people who should ideally find solace in their shared beliefs. It is not always doctrinal disputes that trigger discord; instead, subjects such as politics, diverse cultures, backgrounds, sports, and other … [Read more...] about The Silent Division:Â Mixing Politics and Faith
Help My Unbelief
Godâs people experience both faith and doubt in their journey through life. Maybe itâs not doubt to the level of denying Godâs existence, but we can see many examples laid out for us in Godâs word of both conditions of faith and doubt happening to godly people. Satan works tirelessly to sow seeds of doubt. Doubt is something that can grab us, and it can grow and fester. However, there are methods to help prevent doubt, or to overcome it, and to continue to grow in faith instead. There are … [Read more...] about Help My Unbelief
Longsuffering
The headline in a recent Wall Street Journal was titled âWar in the Middle East is closer than you think.â It didnât say âmight be closerâ rather âit is closer than you thinkâ. The subhead to that was: âRussia isnât parked, (It has not stopped its development of the war with the Ukraine.) Iran isnât pacified, (itâs going ahead full force with its nuclear program.) and both are coordinating strategies with China.â Russia, Iran, and China are going to become a potent force in the world scene. … [Read more...] about Longsuffering
The Philippian Formula
After the Apostle Paul had received aid from the brethren in Philippi, he wrote and thanked them. His expression of love and care for them is instructive to us in our relationship with one another. He used the situation to instruct and encourage them in things pertaining to greater unity amongst themselves. Firstly, he is thoughtful of their needs and presents prayer to God on behalf of the congregation and specific individuals. His prayer style, in regard to the Church in Philippi, is … [Read more...] about The Philippian Formula
