One commenter has already mentioned this devotional entry from August 18th: “EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER ADVERSITY in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. Stop trying…Continue reading Will God let you face more than you can bear? – Part III
God Will not give you More than you can bear – Really? Part II
One thing that the phrase “God doesn’t give us more than we can bear” can create is a sense that we should be able to “face this on our own.” As in, not burden other people with our stuff. Well, this would certainly not be a biblical concept either! Certainly, there are some things that…Continue reading God Will not give you More than you can bear – Really? Part II
God Will not Give you More than you can Bear… really? Part I
“God will never give you more than you can bear.” This is a common phrase that people tell one another in the name of Jesus (or maybe just in the name of any God). I know that there have been many who have received comfort with this thought… and others who have experienced guilt from…Continue reading God Will not Give you More than you can Bear… really? Part I

Facets of Sexuality… Part 1: Erotic
In the recent Seminar for Men, I quickly referenced the different engagements with sexuality – erotic, illicit and intimate. I have gotten questions about it, so, in preparation for the rest of the articles on “insights helpful to men into regards to communicating treasure-hood to their spouses through sexuality” (or some other equally subtle and…Continue reading Facets of Sexuality… Part 1: Erotic
Facets of Sexuality… Part 2: Intimate
The other way that a person can experience sexuality is intimately.

Moral Thinking and Gun Control – Part III
Thoughts I assume that for those intent on limiting legal availability to guns, it must be a moral argument. But what is it?
