Like An Ox To The Slaughter Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 23, 2022

Solomon attempts to make the choice between Wisdom and Folly as clear and as obvious as possible in the hopes of helping us to make the right choice. Would that it were that simple, amen, as making such an ...read more

We've taken a little break from 1 Corinthians, and after getting back into 1 Corinthians 7, I remember why. This is a hard chapter. Paul has one argument running through the length of chapter 7. There's a thread, that's woven through its whole length. But the chapter is too long, ...read more
