The Man That God Called Daddy

Contributed by Rodney Kelley on Sep 1, 2010

God used Joseph, who was a man of conviction and compassion, to be the earthly "daddy" of Jesus.

But

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on May 28, 2018

We use the word 'But' quite frequently and it can change the meaning of something said. In the Bible the word BUT and the context is profound, we are not object of God's wrath as sometimes seen in the Old Testament but objects of His love.

BUT… John 3:16-17 In my working life I’ve been on many training courses either related to management, finance, dealing with the media and so on.. One course still comes to mind when I was criticised for using the word’ ‘BUT’ I was using this simple and very significant little word to clarify ...read more

Wives, Submit Yourselves To Your Husbands, As Is Fitting In The Lord. Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 23, 2017

I don’t accept the often, to me, lame attempts to somehow explain this passage away and act like the Bible, properly interpreted, has a 21st century view of marriage. It doesn’t. I think the biblical view is beautiful, but it is very much not modern.

18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Wives First of all, there is no problem with the translation here, though I’ll clarify a bit in a moment. Ladies, how does this make you feel? You ok with this? Are you immediately thinking of reasons for exceptions? What if ...read more
