What makes a woman beautiful? This question has very different answers when you compare our current culture, and its answer, with the Word of God, and God’s answer. The definition for beauty has been so skewed, that I believe it has caused many a Christian lady to get caught up in seeking after worldly beauty, to the determent of seeking after Biblical, or Christlike beauty. ​It is not hard to decipher what our world thinks is beautiful. Turn on your TV, scroll through social media and y...

What is a husband? The English language tells us. A husband is a man who practices husbandry, or cultivation. He is caretaker. Like a master gardener, his job is to so nurture, tend, and care, for his wife that she brings forth fruit. She becomes a beautiful garden.The Bible commands earthly husbands to imitate the Lord in nurturing our wives into greater degrees of splendor, by practicing Christlike husbandry. Therefore, whenever we find a wife in full bloom, we would be wi...

Were you counted in the last census? I am not talking about the one held last year, I am referring to the one held on back in November, on Election Day. How is the United States such a world superpower, and yet Americans seem to be so stupid?

I like to flowers and the trees. I like to hear the birds sing…and I am also rather fond of butter...

In our study today we find that it’s one week after the resurrection and the disciples are in the same place they were on resurrection night. They are in the same room behind the same locked doors. (John 20:24-29)So, if the resurrection is such a big deal, such a life changing event, why are they still stuck in the same place? What difference—in a whole week-- has the empty tomb made? How has it changed them? Has it let them see themselves and their world differently? Has it done anything for...

When Christ appeared to the disciples as they hid behind the closed doors it was not the first time Peter had seen Him after His resurrection. There was a private appearance to Peter. The gospels are completely silent as to the details of this meeting. Luke merely wrote:“. . . the Lord has risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.”Luke 24:34Somewhere along the way on that first day of the week, even before the Lord met the Emmaus Road disciples, even before the Lord appeared to the...
