Marriage and Adversity – the need to become friends – part II
Aug 18
Since the beginning of human history six thousand years ago, mankind has attempted to circumvent every command of God; morally, spiritually, nationally, financially and physically. He continues to fail miserably. The same holds true in the marriage relationship.
Science and the Bible Agree: Casual Sex Is Bad
Jul 23
Countless television programs and movies portray casual sex as “no big deal,” or even normal. But according to the scientific data, that view is all wrong. As it turns out, the brain chemistry associated with sex is exclusively conducive to marriage.
The Creator of Marriage
Apr 17"Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?" (Matthew 19:4-6) The Lord Jesus has settled forever (for those who believe His words) the question of human origins and the historicity of the Genesis account of creation. God created Adam and Eve as full-grown adults in the beginning, united as husband and wife - not a population of primates slowly evolving into people over millions of years. The multitude of skeptical scientists and liberal theologians who have insisted that the "two" accounts of creation in the first two chapters of Genesis contradict each other here stand sharply rebuked by the Creator, Himself, for Christ quoted specifically from both Genesis 1:27 and 2:24, thus accepting both of them as valid, historical, and complementary accounts of the same event.
Noah and Joshua – Examples of Priority
Apr 10
"By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith." (Hebrews 11:7) Noah was indeed a man of mighty faith, believing God's Word even about "things not seen as yet," preparing for a worldwide Flood in a day when God had never yet even "caused it to rain upon the earth" (Genesis 2:5). Noah was "a preacher of righteousness" (2 Peter 2:5) to an unbelieving world for at least 120 years (Genesis 6:3), "while the ark was a preparing" (1 Peter 3:20), WITHOUT GAINING A SINGLE CONVERT except his own family!
Faith healer Todd Bentley separates from wife, draws criticism from Charismatics
Oct 22
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" Matthew 7:15-16 Posted on August 19, 2008 | by David Roach NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--With controversial faith healer Todd Bentley announcing that he is separating from his wife, charismatic leaders J. Lee Grady and Stephen Strang have reacted by saying someone should have raised questions about Bentley earlier. Grady, editor of the popular charismatic magazine Charisma, said the way thousands celebrated Bentley despite his moral and theological shortcomings demonstrated a lack of discernment that pervades the charismatic movement. "We're spiritually hungry -- which can be a good thing," Grady wrote in an Aug. 13 column. "But sometimes hungry people will eat anything."
