“Love does not delight in Evil; but rejoices with the Truth.” (1 Corinthians 13:6, NIV)
“…does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth.” (1 Corinthians 13:6, NKJV)
This one is much harder to truly grasp today than most would think. It is common sense, yet...

“You shall not steal.” (Exodus 20:15)
Ever seen two toddlers fight over one toy? We’re a selfish people by nature, so we’re taught from a very young age that stealing is wrong - we aren’t supposed to take what doesn't belong to us. We realize how it feels when someone...

I remember a time when I was much younger and I was at a gathering of believers where the speaker pointed out something that I hadn’t thought of up until that moment in my life. He talked about the holiday season and declared that it’s the best time of year for Christians...

“Love is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong.” (1 Corinthians 13:5, NIV)
“… is not provoked, thinks no evil.” (1 Corinthians 13:5, NKJV)
As I have mentioned over the past couple weeks, sometimes it is easier to show what something is not to describe it...

I am an individual. I believe in human rights being guaranteed at the individual level. My rights are not derived by my belonging to a group. I believe the State has to maintain what I call the libertarian minimum. That is, it must only guarantee the security of life,...

“You shall not commit adultery.” (Exodus 20:14)
Just as with last week’s commandment on not murdering, this one may seem like an easy commandment to follow for some people. If you’re not married and haven’t been romantically involved with a married person, you may...

“[Love] does not behave rudely, does not seek its own” (1 Corinthians 13:5, NKJV)
Two weeks ago I gave two descriptions of what love is, and last week I describes two things love does not do. Today, I continue my study of 1 Corinthians 13 by describing two things...

The last two weeks we have looked at the origin of language (here and here). It seemed to me to be fairly conclusive—language did not come about through the means that evolutionists must believe it did. There is no evidence for their theories, and in fact the evidence...

Adam and Eve suffered from it. Moses suffered from it too. King David for a time also suffered from it. The Sheriff of Nottingham suffered from it too. What is it? The God Complex.
The God Complex is wanting others to do things your way and trying to force them to...

“You shall not murder.” (Exodus 20:13)
This commandment seems pretty straight-forward, right? Don’t kill anyone, and you’ve got this. But is that really all there is to it?
My guess is that the people of Israel thought this commandment was relatively simple to follow,...

Today is the one day of the year in the United States that we set aside a full day to honor all military veterans past, present, and future. Regardless of what we all think about some of our nation’s decisions regarding military intervention, we must always be willing to...

“Love does not envy. It does not boast, it is not proud.” (1 Corinthians 13:4, NIV)
“Love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;” (1 Corinthians 13:4, NKJV)
Paul takes four angles in describing love: love is, love does, love is not, and love...

Last week we began looking at language—what is it, how does it happen, and where did it come from? We looked at why man is unique among all living things in his ability to communicate complexly, essentially taking thoughts from his mind and imparting them into the mind...

“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” (Exodus 20:12)
The 4th commandment in my series on the Ten Commandments is to honor your father and your mother. The meaning of this commandment according to...
