God instructs about behavior of older men and older women, then about younger women to whom we now give attention. The apostle Paul wrote about this when writing to the young evangelist Titus (2:4), and added these things should be taught “with all authority” (vs 15). Men and women are to teach younger women, but
This sin, often overlooked, is in the long list of sins in Romans 1:28-32. Those who practice such things or who approve such “deserve death” (v. 32, NIV). “Adultery” often refers to sexual acts (Jn 8:4), but is also translated “breaking of a covenant,” having nothing to do with sexual sin. When Israel turned away
Marriage and family are of monumental importance to God. Satan and his devotees are attacking this sacred institution as never before. Souls are being lost and homes destroyed by deceptive devices of the devil. When a man marries he is to leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife. Jesus said the two
Man’s law approves homosexual marriage. God’s law says marriage is one man and one woman till death separates them, and that the sexually immoral shall not go to heaven (Gen 2:18-24; Eph 5:20-33). Man’s law says do not preach the gospel, but wait for others to ask you about it. God’s law says “go preach
In today’s world, the politically correct thing is to either keep quiet, or to agree to disagree. But what about God’s Holy Word? Should we not be bold and not ashamed when our Bibles plainly speak the truth? We all want to go to heaven. Paul wrote, “I am not ashamed of the gospel for
Jesus said, “What God has joined together, let man not separate” (Mt 19:6). The disciples said this is a hard saying because in their time, like in ours, divorce was common. Husband and wife are to “cleave” to one another like glue, through bad times and good times. Their joining together is like two streams
I became a part of the bride of Christ, being spiritually married to Him at age 11. I became part of His bride, His church (I Peter 2:9) when I was baptized, born again (of water and spirit, Jn 3:5; Acts 2:38). My joy and promise became to declare His love, to confess His holy
Marcus Antonius Felix was the Roman procurator of Judea from 52-58 AD. He was married to Drusilla, daughter of King Agrippa. He was known to be corrupt and evil. He presided over the first trial of Paul in Caesarea where Paul was escorted under cover of darkness. Famous lawyer Tertullus and other high officials were
“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Tim 2:15 KJV). This is a command from the apostle Paul to read and study the Scriptures. I stand in today’s Paper Pulpit to challenge every person to read and study the Bible
A large part of our nation actively defies God’s standard for moral conduct. Homosexuality and gay marriage are being pushed by the media, the educational system, in entertainment and politics. God calls same sex intercourse “abomination” (Lev. 18:22; Rom 1:24-32). Homosexual churches cater to this sin, scoffing at the punishment of sodomites (Gen 18:20-19:29). God
