Honestly, there’s a fascinating tension there: the more closely someone reads Scripture, the more they can find themselves at odds with things that are simply assumed to be “Christian” today. There’s a difference between becoming less like modern Christianity and becoming less like Christ. Those aren’t necessarily the same thing. Jesus Himself repeatedly confronted religious…

The virtuous woman, the church of Christ, will bring her food from afar. She will search the Scriptures diligently so that she may feed her family, friends, and strangers with food fit for the human heart. Just like when we eat food and are nourished from the inside out, when we eat of the Word…

Proverbs 31:13 “She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.” Both wool and flax are used for making garments. And garment = righteousness of the saints Garments: Revelation 19:8 “And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness…

Let’s go…

MANY people often confuse Moses‘ law with God‘s Ten Commandment Law, but they are very different. Moses‘ law was the temporary, ceremonial law of the Old Testament. It regulated the priesthood, sacrifices, rituals, meat and drink offerings, etc., all of which foreshadowed the cross. This law was added “till the seed should come,” and that…

For us to be born as sinners who have no choice in the matter is to say that our God created us with sin in us because He hates us that much and that is not something I would ever say about my loving Father in Heaven. That type of theology paints Him as a…

Not only does God say that we can judge, but that we need to judge. How else would we be able to help people understand their sins, the consequences thereof, or the way toward salvation unless we judge them to be in sin in the first place? It’s our duty to judge, but there are…
