Recently, someone posted the following situation on social media: If both spouses work and the husband comes home every day before the wife, should the wife still cook every day? The last time I checked, it had been up only five days and there were over 550 comments and climbing. Many of the women were…
To those who have been in abusive relationships, let me ask you this question: if a woman’s husband decides to set her on fire, do you think it is biblical for her to stay in that marriage? There has been heavy debate whether abuse is permissible as grounds for divorce. I have seen countless churches…
I went to a Christian singles fellowship tonight (as I’m writing this) where a speaker shared clips from an upcoming media series and gave a talk about international events, Christianity, and prophecy. It was interesting and refreshing, and it sparked several comments and questions. It got me thinking, where is our hope in a world…
11:00 a.m. was called out as “the most segregated hour of the week” by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in one of his final speeches which he gave on March 31, 1968, just four days before he was assassinated. In case you’re not sure what that means, it means that the most traditional hour of…

Here is a man who was born in an obscure village as the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure village. He worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty and then for three years was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He…
When I was a young child, I was very quiet, but observant and analytical. And, apparently, I asked a lot of questions. My dad once told me he used to call me The Question Box and shared examples of what that looked like on one occasion (“Why is the moon round?”). I guess I had…
Cold, wintry weather and the Christmas holidays—a deadly duo for Christian singles—are here in full swing. You stay bundled up in layers of warm winter clothes and wish for someone romantic to kiss while you warm up your car alone under foggy windows. You long to go to Christmas parties with your romantic someone… to…
Living a simpler lifestyle has its benefits. It’s been seven months since I early retired. I knew ahead of time that I was going to have to simplify my lifestyle. I didn’t realize how many adjustments I was going to have to make to simplify my life. It helped that I had already taken steps…
