The text is addressing Christians 2. The text is only addressing the older women, therefore they are the ones with the responsibility of teaching the younger women. 3. While this text doesn't exactly hold the younger women account...

The Bible tells us that "all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" (2 Tim 3:12 ).  Unfortunately, this isn't always the message we hear preached from pulpits today.  The truth is that everyone who determines to hold fast to their faith will suffer in this life.   In this podcast we discuss types of temporary suffering we could experience and how to keep...

It happens to all of us.  In a moment of trying to encourage someone, we throw out a commonly-used phrase without much consideration.  Unfortunately, some of these well-known phrases can be harmful if believed because their meanings are opposed to Biblical Truths.  In this podcast, the phrases we discuss are: "we are all children of God", "God will never give you more than you can h...

We've been seeing many blogs online lately claiming that "gender roles" are not a Biblical concept.  When addressing the marriage unit they tell us that wives and husbands are called to mutually submit to one another, and that both positions share equal responsibility in the leadership of the home.  Is this really Biblical? We talk about this today as we follow along with one articl...

We love when the Bible points to itself to provide examples and encouragement for us. In this podcast we are led to remember the life of Matriarch Sarah, and realize that her struggles of long ago are very familiar to us women today.
