    Father: Responsibility In Relationship

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Jun 19, 2011
     | 4,758 views

    As fathers, men, husbands we need to exchange our point of view for Gods. The cutlural viewpoint is distorted and diseased. Let Jesus show you what it means to be a real man. A real father.

    Intro: The question from the Pharisees, the rebuke from the disciples, and the rejection of Jesus by the rich man are clear indications of a great need for changing our point of view. I believe you will see as we teach this passage today that the reason there are so many problems with fathers, ...read more

    Are Jesus’ statements allowing divorce for infidelity in conflict with biblical statements that seem to forbid it entirely?

    Ladies, if your Boaz never shows up it is OK to be single. Guys, if your Ruth never shows up it is OK.

    This is primarily for the ladies, but much also applies to the men. Many young people are worried about the dating scene and marriage seems unattainable as they age. Some have said that if you are not married by forty, it is unlikely you will and for the ladies it means they will not have ...read more

    How To (Mis)interpret The Bible

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 9, 2022
     | 1,601 views

    While this passage teaches about divorce, it also provides an interesting case study in how believer manipulate what the Bible says for their own benefit. We'll look at five aspects of that.

    - Probably the most obvious way to preach this passage would be to preach a sermon about what the Bible says about divorce. That’s an important subject, but I’m interested in something else as I dig in. - This passage provides an interesting case study into how we interpret (or, more accurately, ...read more

    "From the beginning it was not so." Matthew 19:8.

    MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, AND CELIBACY. Matthew 19:1-12. The Pharisees’ question about divorce was cynical in that it, like many of their questions addressed to Jesus, was asked with the intention of “tempting” Jesus into saying something that would cause offence (MATTHEW 19:3). I assert this on two ...read more
