In a sense a Christian marriage and a Christian church should strive to rekindle the relational elements of Eden, unsuccessful as we may often be.
I am troubled by 1 Corinthians 11:3, which seems to say that men are superior to women: “The head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.”
This passage demonstrates what is often true—if we misunderstand one biblical doctrine, we will inevitably misunderstand others. For instance, two common approaches to “the head of a woman is her husband” are these: 1) Scripture is saying the husband is superior to his wife (and that’s true) or 2) Scripture ...
Many who are confined to their house are desperate for some human interaction and assistance.
How do I relate to my daughter when I see her now that she has chosen to move in with her boyfriend instead of abiding by our house rules?
My heart goes out to you and the pain you are experiencing. You are grieving a loss right now and I’m sure you have many mixed emotions. There is no better answer than to wait on the Lord and be immersed in His word and His promises to you.
It would be good if you could sit down with your daughter and her boyfriend and lay everything out on the ...
I am leading a class of young families at my church and we are presently talking about how to teach your children about money. What are your answers to the following questions?
1. What age is an appropriate age to teach children about money?
This is really a family decision that you should ask God to give you wisdom about. Ages may vary.
Randy gave his two daughters the three jars bank when they were 7 and 5 years of age.
2. What is the balance ...
Question from a reader:I’m a full-time youth pastor with four beautiful kids and an incredibly supportive wife. It is so hard to juggle ministry and family and do it well. As someone who has reached the other side, and now with grandkids, does it get easier? How did you find the energy and time to really enjoy the kids AND the ministry?
It did get easier as the kids got older, and more when they launched out into the world on their own, and most of all, of course, when they got married. Yet ...
Question from a reader:The ”unequally yoked” passage (2 Corinthians 6:14) is usually applied to marriage. What about business associations? How far does it go?
Further, what about Ephesians 5:7 which says: “Therefore do not be partners with them”? It is referring to: “Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God”?
And how does all this square with ...
We should come to God’s Word with “great eagerness.” If we’re more eager to watch a sitcom or the evening news than to read God’s Word, inevitably our worldview will be more influenced by sitcoms and the evening news than by God.
Question from a reader:I recently lost my job and my family may have to move. What is a biblical perspective on trusting God with these life changes?
Acts 17:24-27 says, “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth....From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him ...
