Since God's Word is so clear on the subject of homosexuality, why has the issue become so cloudy in the minds of so many?

From The Archives: Not Feeling It
Some years I get all caught up in the warm fuzzies of Christmas. My eyes tear up during candlelight service on Christmas Eve. I read the Christmas story with wonder. But some years the story seems too familiar. My to-do list seems too important. I want to get caught up in Christmas cheer, but I find myself thinking, I'm just not feeling it.

From The Archives: How Would Jesus Celebrate Christmas?
Between Santa and jingle bells, Christmas parties, and presents to buy and hope for, I think most of us struggle to keep our attention focused on the baby in the manger. I've worked hard to make this a Christmas where I had time to consider the sacred. That's why I keep wondering how Jesus would celebrate His birth.

Hope For The Bullies
I doubt that any of us would actually label ourselves as bullies. No one sets out to be the mean girl at their school, church, or home. Even so, I bet there are some of you who are the source of pain, rejection, or violence in the lives of someone else.

Hope For The Bullied
If you feel picked on, misunderstood, tormented, or ignored, you are in good company. Jesus Himself endured these very things, and His Word is not silent on your circumstances. In fact, the Bible is chock-full of words of hope and encouragement just for you.

Steps Toward Removing An Idol
I know removing an idol from your life might be hard and uncomfortable, but God commands us to "love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength" and to "do all things to the glory of God." So if we aren't doing that, then we aren't going to be happy and satisfied.

Your Gods Don't Love You

More Than A Bush Demon
We keep idols with us all the time. How do we fight them? How do we kick them out of the temple that is our soul?

How F-l-e-x-i-b-l-e Are You?
Have you ever seen White Christmas? The family I live with watches this 1954 film every year while they put up their Christmas tree. Last night, I probably should've gotten off the couch to help them string lights and hang ornaments, but I was too preoccupied watching Judy's (actress Vera-Ellen) beautiful dancing . . .

How Can I Know If A Person Loves Me?
True love isn't easy to define, and it isn't always easy to recognize. Our feelings can be especially tricky in this area. We can feel something that seems like love only to discover later that it was something closer to lust or infatuation. If we can't trust our feelings, how can we know if someone truly loves us?

What Is Love?
I wish I could boil love down into a single, simple definition. If I could, I would most certainly have a hit song on my hands! But love is a complex emotion, and it involves so much more than our feelings. Fortunately when looking for love, God's Word provides all the wisdom we need.

Yep, Romance Is God's Idea
Romance is God's idea, and there is some very romantic stuff found right in the Word of God. But not all romance is the same. And not all forms of love are God-honoring.
