Education/Languages

Paul was no slouch when it came to languages. His knowledge of Hebrew and Greek allowed him to communicate the Gospel to many more people than he possibly could have if he had only known Hebrew or Aramaic. His knowledge of Greek allowed him to speak with the centurions who arrested him (saved him) while […]

Manhood & Womanhood

Here is a great post by Dr. Moore of Southern Seminary:
A man who really gets Ephesians 5 is the kind of man who will be willing to work two jobs and live in a trailer to enable his wife to be the primary caregiver of his children. A woman who really understands Proverbs 31 is […]

This is a great clip. Americans may be starting to see through the thin veil of relativism.

Sorry that I haven’t written much as of late, I have been very busy with my wife’s visa paperwork and class at Southern.
