QUESTION: Do we have to have a "marriage ceremony" to be married? - August 26, 2018
ANSWER: It is difficult to define "adultery" and "fornication" without a proper ceremony. Jesus used both words for that which mars a marriage (Matthew 5:32; 19:9). Adultery is fornication that dirties a marriage by taking intimacy outside of it. (Genesis 2:22-25). God began marriage with a "wedding ceremony" t…
“Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field” (Ecclesiastes 5:9). No society thrives or survives without workers earning wages. God made the basis of society a man-woman marriage (Genesis 2:22-24); and, after sin, women were given difficult childbirth and subjection to their husbands, and men were given work to live by (Genesis 3:16-19).“Man goes out to …

Who keeps feeding children “critical race theory” to create bitterness and…

QUESTION: Why does it seem that society is out of control? - 6/30/2019
ANSWER: Because the media focuses almost entirely on the lawless, or those who are out of control!
1. The "lawless" are in charge because the "lawful" have not insisted otherwise! (1 Timothy 1:5-11) The people who want to live in violation of any restriction from God's control are allowed to direct: government lea…

“Do not remove the ancient landmark Which your fathers have set” (Proverbs 22:28). God’s Wisdom plainly states that no one should “plow under” the entire society. Without “history,” details of The Creation by God would be forgotten: “This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens” (…
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Romans 1:18).
