Purity
The All Seeing Eye
One of college professors announced that he had concluded that Christian’s no longer believed in the omniscience of God. Initially, I paused and thought, “What do you mean we don’t believe in the all powerful, all knowing, all present God? Of course we believe it, those terms are in our doctrinal statement”.

Hope for Homosexuals
In the last blogging segment I wrote a post called “Straight Talk about Gay Guys”, trying to touch on the issue of homophobia in our local churches and in ourselves.

This week let’s look at one final aspect of purity: purity in relationships. Many verses in the Bible command us to put off uncleanness, sexual [...]
Modesty and the Christian Woman
By Linda Sabry It is the Lord’s will for His daughters to present themselves as pure vessels before men and radiate in feminine beauty. In 1 Timothy 2:9a women are instructed to “…adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety …”. As we explore together the Scriptures on the topic of modesty, may we [...]
