Article: Blended Couches

Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV) - Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. The couch may partially disguise the soldier's uniform, but the solder is still a soldier. Many Christians often try to disguise who they are hoping not to draw attention to themselves (as Christians), but that's not what Jesus intended. He wants us to stand out from among the...

To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all...

Article: When Dogs and Pigs Fly

Photo courtesy of deviantART/squidpig Matthew 7:6 (KJV) - Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. When thinking about the dogs and swine, we often consider evil sinners that are ravenous toward Christians or non-believers. However, Matthew 7:6 pertains to ANYONE that is unable to appreciate or accept holy and precious gifts of God (knowledge, wisdom, etc.), even if they profess to be a Christian - check their fruit (Luke 6:43-45). When people cannot appreciate the...
