Working Women And Titus 2:5

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017

Decades ago, most Christian pastors, teachers, and counselors in effect tore-out of their Bibles the portion of Titus 2:5 which enjoins that women (especially younger women) are to be “keepers at home.”

Feminism, more than any other ungodly philosophy, has motivated American and European societies to reject the ...read more

The Reason We Submit To Authority Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 15, 2021

Obedience that originates from this kind of fear of penalty is not true obedience. That is the reason why the apostle Paul exhorts us in Romans 13:5, that our obedience must stem from our conscience and not because we fear the consequences of disobedience.

The Reason We Submit to Authority In Romans 13:5 we read, “We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.” (WNT) All of us are familiar with the principle that if we don’t obey rules and submit to those in authority, we will get punished, and ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (17 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

In America alone, there are approximately four hundred sects and cults, and most ALL of them claim to base their doctrines on the Word of God. This is IMPOSSIBLE!

These cults make you think of all these translations, paraphrases and perversions of the Word of God that are on the market today. They all claim to be the Word of God, but they differ in their translations of the scriptures. So how can they all be the Word of God? Also, we cannot possibly believe ...read more
