They keep falling like flies–even the public figures who have most supported the #MeToo movement (Growing list). These situations are not new to the modern era and there are many angles that need to be discussed. However, I think it is appropriate to sound a word of warning to men, especially Christian men, in positions…
Matthew 1:1-16; Romans 5:20 Every second Sunday of May, our national calendar encourages us to remember our mothers, and we respond to this reminder in various ways. For instance, you may show appreciation on a surface or external level by giving your mother a corsage or bouquet of flowers, or you might give her some…
I know it’s not a religious piece, but it does reflect the thinking of much of the society in which I grew up. Erma Bombeck wrote this in her book, If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, Why am I in the Pits (1985). My mother loved reading Erma Bombeck when I was growing up.…

In the past many Bible college students came with very little clothing and no financial ability. Today most have good clothes and are able to…
On May 4, Heather Wilhelm published an article in the National Review that panned all the media sources today talking about the “horror” and misery of motherhood (motherhood-portrayal-in-media-wrong) Of course, Heather says that contrary to the media portrayal, motherhood is worth it. Good for her. With Mother’s Day coming we have the great opportunity…
A recent study deems loneliness a national epidemic, plaguing nearly half of our population. Specifically, 46% of Americans report “always feeling alone,” and 27% feel as though people do not understand them. Generation Z (ages 18-22) is the loneliest generation according to this study. Another important finding is that social media provides no cure for…
Defining Terms Before we understand the Jewish faith, it is important for Christians to understand how to approach their Jewish neighbors. Christians have certain ideas about what they mean when they refer to Judaism or Jewish people. However, those ideas may not necessarily be accurate to the way Jewish people view themselves.
