• God Is Not Being Fair To Me

  In Christian Advice, Cultural Commentary, Marriage, Parenting, SeriousFaith / 28 January 2013 / 1 comment

  

  A reader asks: I’m overcome of fear that I will never find someone that will want to marry me or have kids with me! Please help. I’m 25 and I know that some may think this is very young, but I came here to get help and not be judged like my family does. I do have a boyfriend but he said he doesnt want to get married before 30, said that he isnt in love with me yet even though through actions it all says its love, but thats a whole different issue. Everyone I know is either married or has a child already. I already have my degree, steady job and income and traveled. I’m ready to settle down and I want to [...]

   

• The Basic Christian Life: The REAL “Don’t Judge” – Part 12

  In Faithful, SeriousFaith, Teaching / 7 September 2010 / 0 comments

  

  (Click here to search for all the posts in this series…) James 4:12 …Who are you to judge another? (NKJV) Every time I do a lesson that mentions “judging” I have to open with a little lesson first. One of the most overused phrases by both Christians and unbelievers is “the Bible says don’t judge“. Many Christians shrink in peer-pressure-induced fear in the face of this silly argument. They should not. I try to never miss a chance to arm Christians with a refutation of this popular proclamation. The Bible Says Judge! The Bible doesn’t say “don’t judge” in the sense of it being a universal declaration regardless of context. In essence, the Bible says “don’t judge in a way that will bring judgment on [...]

   

• I Can’t Eat With You

  In Faithful, SeriousFaith, Teaching / 26 August 2009 / 0 comments

  1 Corinthians 5:11b ….. — not even to eat with such a person. (NKJV)(Previous devotionals can be found at www.seriousfaith.com)Take a random survey of 1000 professing Christians across the board and ask this question, “What does the Bible say about judging?” Probably 950 would immediately reply, “the Bible says don’t judge”. Was that your first thought?What would you think if I told you that the following is my opinion:“We should judge other Christians and if they are found to be greedy, immoral, a drunk or consider anything in their life more important than God, we should not have anything to do with them – in fact, you shouldn’t even go out to eat with them.”Wow, that makes me a pretty judgmental, harsh, unloving, unChristlike, intolerant, [...]

   

• The King Has Left the Building

  In Faithful, SeriousFaith, Teaching / 26 August 2009 / 0 comments

  Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes. (NKJV)It sounds as if the Israelites had a really good arrangement. There was no King over them to tell them what to do and they were just going around doing the right thing. The future King of Israel would be appointed by God and would have absolute, unequaled, unquestioned authority. Disobedience would mean death. He would rule with complete power. But those days were to come. At this point in history, there was no king and everyone just did what they thought was right in their own eyes (although they should have had Godly priests to follow but didn’t). It’s like a teacher who leaves [...]
