My friend, Brad, has led a men’s ministry for decades. While having coffee, Brad said to me, “If I picked up every man’s phone in this place, I’d likely find pornography on half of them.” Brad lamented how some men can view pornography in one moment and teach Sunday School the next. Men may think pornography is harmless, but ...

Due to Dr. Haim’s strong religious convictions, he felt compelled to disclose the alleged deceptions of Texas Children’s Hospital to the press. Since Dr. Haim’s discovery became ...
A study by Mecham Western and Wood estimates that 40 million people regularly view pornography and 70% of pornography use is during work. Many claim that pornography use has negligible impact. These researchers learned, however, that pornography use results in increased lying, sexual harassment, and dehumanizing others. In addition, a decline in business ethics.

Senator Bernie Sanders recently proposed to change the workweek from 40 hours a week to 32 hours. In this series we’re exploring biblical considerations pertinent to this issue. Previously we looked at God’s command to work six days a week. I believe our work includes maintaining our home and outside responsibilities. That leads to asking, “How many hours a day ...
The Senate has periodically discussed changing the workweek from 40 hours a week to 32 hours. In this series, we’re exploring biblical considerations on this issue. For me, the biggest challenge is reconciling God’s commands about work with our modern-day culture. After Israel had been oppressed as slaves by Egypt, after their deliverance, God commanded a new work schedule for ...
Senator Bernie Sanders recently proposed to change the workweek from 40 hours a week to 32 hours. In this series, we’re exploring biblical considerations pertinent to this issue. Our first consideration is defining work. The Oxford Dictionary defines work as “activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.” The Hebrew word for work, ...
The Senate has periodically discussed changing the workweek from 40 hours a week to 32 hours. In this series, we’re exploring biblical considerations on this issue.
