Rightly Divide the Word of Truth

A devotional study about the supreme issues that would come with grieving the Holy Spirit of God.  We have a few examples in scripture, but we want to avoid this path in our lives.

A devotional study about the attributes of a Virtuous Woman, as outlined in Proverbs 31.  Let's take a look at how the modern view of womanhood is at odds with the Biblical view, and how -- through negligence -- the woman of the church as pursuing the same course as the women of the world, and reaping the same poor results.  Proverbs 14:1 KJV Every wise woman buildeth her house : but the fool...

A devotional study about how the Bible sees men vs women as it relates to roles and responsibilities.  The Bible shows us that men, women and children are equal in the sight of God when it comes to salvation, and human dignity.  But it also shows us that men and women are very different in terms of roles and responsibilities -- particularly within a family relationship.  1 Peter 3:7 KJV Likewise,...

A devotional study about the need to be able to stand up and be counted -- even when alone.  Somewhat of a continuation from last week's episode, but the emphasis is about standing up whether or not some else is standing up as well.  Can you stand alone for the right?
