    Responsible love with others includes that I learn to share the bed with only my wife, and no one else. Self-control applies also in the bedroom.

    Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. (Hebrews 13:4 NKJV) The word bed here is used in the New Testament a total of four times. Two times in Romans, once in Luke and once in Hebrews. In Romans 9:10, it says this: And not only this; ...read more

    Are We On The Road To Castaway Island?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 17, 2023
     | 967 views

    Many have read and undoubtedly heard this Scripture countless times before. It speaks of someone running a race. But we need to see the spiritual aspect of this road that we are on.

He compares himself to the athletes in the Isthmian games, which was well known by the Corinthians. In any case, in the Christian race all may run in order to obtain the prize. First ...read more

Is it out of the box? Extreme? Expectant? Or would you have to shaky, unstable, overtaken by times of doubt? I want ...read more
