What is the Opposite of Submit?

“Wives, SUBMIT to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is HEAD of the wife, as also Christ is HEAD of the church; and He is the savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is SUBJECT to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, LOVE your wives, just as Christ also LOVED the church and GAVE Himself for her…” (Ephesians …

“One Way”

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)

[In light of recent discussion, I thought a repost of this article may be helpful.]

The following question is from my friend, Sarah Mae, who commented on the article, Legalism: Yours, Mine, and Ours, …

Gender, Morality, and Modesty

I realize this is a very backwards way to post an article, or even link to someone else’s article; but, sometimes I do things backwards. Maybe it’s rebellion. Or maybe it’s because Gender, Morality, and Modesty: Liberated into Bondage by Robin Phillips is so good that I’m hoping you’ll want to read the whole thing once you read Part Six. It’s an excellent read, and the series is worth …

Pecan Pesto

I love to grow herbs, especially basil! Back when we lived in Texas I had what I called a “forest” of it growing in the back yard. The peppery scent was intoxicating! Though we haven’t grown as much out here in the Midwest, we still enjoy our herb garden, with basil being a primary plant.

We use our pesto in numerous ways – tossed in salads, spread on sandwiches, added to homemade …

Courtship Questions for Potential Suitors

My husband, James McDonald, created the following questions for the purpose of getting to know potential suitors for our daughters. Having seen two daughters enter courtship and successfully marry godly young men, and having recently entered a courtship with our fourth oldest daughter, these questions have served us well.

Over the years, my husband has received numerous requests from parents for his “famous” courtship questions. However, he has been hesitant to make them available, since …

Doing What Comes Unnaturally

“Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another.” (Romans 12:10)

God’s ways are not our ways (Is. 55:8). That is why we often have a hard time grasping biblical truths. Christ’s love is a pure, endless, and sacrificial kind of love; while ours tends to be self serving and limited—at least when lived out in the flesh. …

Bitterness: An Addiction of the Soul

By my husband, James McDonald, of Providence Church

“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled…” (Hebrews 12:14-15)

Bitterness is a common sin within the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve. It is one we …
