Abuse – Child Abuse

What is the difference between discipline and child abuse? And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all…

Pursuing Marriage – The Perfect Process (Part 1)

The Bible only portrays one perfect “courtship,” the marriage of Jesus to His bride, the church. From this narrative, we can learn much about the process we should follow in pursuing marriage. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in…

Honoring Fathers (Ephesians 6:1-4)

This Sunday is Father’s Day. God has commanded us to honor our fathers. The meaning of “honor” The Hebrew word for “honor” literally means large or weighty. It conveys the idea of treaty something with a huge amount of importance. The Greek word for “honor” literally means to value. When we speak of honoring fathers it means that we view fathers as being extremely important and of the highest value. We must honor fatherhood Our society has constantly minimized the…

The Family – Marriage (Part 7)

We now look at the role of wives. Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Proverbs 14:1 Women have tremendous power in their marriages. They can produce great marriages, or they can destroy their marriage. The interesting point to me of Proverbs 14:1 is that the woman can do this entirely by herself. She does not need any help to build or destroy her home. And Adam gave names to all cattle,…

The Family – Marriage (Part 6)

We now turn our study to the role of the husband within a marriage. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were…

The Family – Marriage (Part 3)

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Acts 20:28 In the covenant of grace, Jesus bride must be redeemed or purchased. His bride is part of the family of Adam and in order to bring us into His family, we must be redeemed, born again, and purchased. The price that Jesus paid is…

The Family – Marriage (Part 1)

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:24 Marriage is the one flesh union of one man and one woman for life. This union is to be a blood covenant, a union only ended by death. Marriage establishes a new family unit. And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male…

The Family – Origins and Purpose

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto…

The Gospel – Grace

If men are sinners and laws cannot change us, where is the hope for mankind? But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption…
