Do Not Render to Caesar What is God’s

Click on the sidebar to go to their site. What is it?  Its a document worth reading. Its a statement of who we are as Christians and what we hold of value: life, marriage, and liberty. If you agree with it, sign the declaration. If you don’t, pray that your heart will pursue God and [...]

The New Moral Majority

(CNN) — If you were to judge the success rate of monogamy by the sex lives of public figures, perhaps couples should change their marriage vows to say, “Till a tempting new partner do us part.”
Talk-show host David Letterman recently joined former presidential candidate John Edwards, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and former New York [...]

Questions For Newly Engaged Couples

John Piper lists a few questions for couples to consider before they actually tie the knot. Too often people leap into marriage without considering all that comes with it. With burning passion and raging hormones being “in Love” is simply not enough. Marriage is one of the most difficult, yet most rewarding, covenants to keep. [...]

What’s That Got To Do With Football?

Here’s a piece written by Kevin Allen:
Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is a virgin.
We know this because a Fanhouse reporter decided the sex life of a college quarterback is appropriate football fodder, despite his colleague’s impassioned chiding of exactly that type of ’sports’ journalism.

Pre-marital counseling vs. Post marital counseling

I emphatically agree with those who say the Song of Solomon is not mere allegory. It is best understood when we take [...]

The rape of Solomon’s Song (part 2)

Continuing with yesterday’s post …
It’s frankly hard to think of a more appalling misuse of Scripture than turning the Song of Solomon into soft porn. When people can no longer read that portion of Scripture without pornographic imagery entering their minds, the beauty of the book has been corrupted, its description of righteous love perverted, [...]

The Rape of Solomon’s Song (part 1)

From John MacArthur’s Blog this week is a four part series titled “The Rape of Solomon’s Song”. It is in response to a certain pastor’s interpretation and misappropriation of the Song of Solomon. I believe it to be right on! Consider his words:
Apparently the shortest route to relevance in church ministry right now is for [...]

Dating By the Book

Last night in our Wednesday night youth class we started a study on relationships called “Dating by the Book” by Matt Brinkley.
For my introduction to the study I asked them a few questions about dating, relationships, and beliefs and was quite amused by the answers given. Here is a sample:
