Does Christianity make wives "ripe for abuse"?
Wednesday, October 19, 2022

He's obviously being a very horrible jerk.
Wednesday, September 28, 2022
It can seem like weak advice to people to "look to Jesus" in their situation. But it only seems like weak advice to those who haven't yet grasped what it means to "look to Jesus." Look to Jesus. My website: https://BibleThinker.org

Joel Osteen misuses the Bible 14 out of 15 times in one sermon.
Tuesday, September 6, 2022

Is your marriage “Christian”?

"Can I marry a Muslim?"
Monday, August 29, 2022

I endorse husband-leaders, but there is a danger in it.
Wednesday, August 17, 2022
