That Christians should spend time reading the Bible is, itself, uncontroversial. But just how should we read the Bible? Is there a “best” way?
What Makes Having Kids Worth It? A Biblical Answer to the Wrong Question.
In our world, kids are treated as though they are an inconvenience. They are an “add-on” that some parents find nice to have, and others would rather not. This is not a biblical view of children.
Don’t Be Afraid to Go Against the Grain—That’s What Jesus Did
The path to destruction is lined with those going with the grain. It’s easy to go along with the world into destruction. But the path to righteousness, the narrow path, is lined by those who, like Jesus, decide to go against the grain of society, sex, and self.
How Could Humans Have Lived to Over 900 Years Old?
