• How to CONFRONT & CORRECT (and How NOT to)

  Genuine believers are to be submitted to one another (Ephesians 5:21), which means we’re accountable to each other based on the morality of New Covenant Christianity and the corresponding God-breathed Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16-17 & 1 Corinthians 4:6). The biblical book of wisdom puts it like this: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” (Proverbs […]

• What Are “MANDRAKES” Mentioned in the Bible?

    “Mandrakes” are cited in the Bible five times and refer to the roots of mandrake plants, which sometimes resemble naked humans, particularly the lower areas.

The idea that the Almighty Sovereign God — the Creator of all things in Heaven, Earth & […]

  When most people hear the word ‘meditation’ they automatically think of TM, aka Transcendental Meditation, but that’s not our topic here. We’re talking about biblical meditation. Meditation comes straight from the Scriptures. Here’s a good example from the first book of the Bible: He [Isaac] went out to the field one evening to meditate, and […]

• Does the Bible Support SLAVERY?

  LIE-beral critics of the Bible claim that it supports slavery. Does it? No, Paul boldly included slave trading in a list of sins: We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, […]
