The “ought” fallacy got dismantled in the debate…. Scripture never treats interracial marriage as an exception, asterisk, or compromise. Church history never flags it as “not normative.” The only biblical prohibition is spiritual, not ethnic: don’t marry someone who pulls you away from worship of the true God. Paul...

Whilst you should never walk away from THE Church, sometimes you SHOULD walk away from A church. Just like before entering into a marriage covenant you must analyse the person, you should analyse a church before getting planted. You must find out where the Church stands on core doctrines. ➡️ The Trinity. If they preach oneness, if they deny the trinity, don’t go - this is heresy. ➡️ Christology. What do they believe about the divinity of Christ? If you don’t believe Jesus is God, like “Jehovah’s Witnesses,” if you believe Jesus was created, that’s not my Jesus and you’re not a true Church of Christ. ➡️ The authority of scripture. Bibliology – do they believe the Bible is the inspired word of God? ➡️ Salvation. Do they believe in salvation through faith alone? Or do they believe in sacraments saving you? ➡️ Heaven & Hell. Do they believe heaven and hell is a real place? Do they believe unless you believe in Jesus - you will be cast into hell? If not, don’t go. This is heresy. They must preach the FULL COUNSEL of God’s Word. That means, not preaching about blessing and God’s love every single week without any mention of sin or repentance. A CHURCH THAT COMPROMISES THE TRUTH IS NOT A CHURCH AT ALL. AVOID CHURCHES THAT AVOID CONTROVERISAL TOPICS OR TOPICS CONSIDERED “POLITICAL” LIKE GAY MARRIAGE OR ABORTION. IF YOU SEE A RAINBOW FLAG, RUN. IF THEY DO NOT UPHOLD THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE, RUN. As Paul Washer said “Don’t go to Church closest to you, but closest to the Bible.” Drive as far as you need to get to a Church that does not shy away from the truth of God’s word.

As that most famous woman preacher says, “I didn’t surrender to a calling of man when I was 18 years old, I surrendered to a calling of God. It never occurs to me for a second not to fulfill it. I will follow Jesus. Jesus tells me what to do.” Really? Does the Bible Allow a Woman to Preach? — John MacArthur // November 3, 2019 For it is improper for a woman to speak in church.” That puts a burden on the husband to be the teacher. But then, verse 36. “Why would you defy this? Was it from you that the word of God first went forth?” Well, that is just sarcasm. “Did you write the Bible? Was it from you that the Word of God went? Are you the source of divine truth? Because if you defy this, you’re acting as if you are God, and you have overruled the revelation of God because you’re a higher authority. Or maybe,” – more sarcasm – “or has it come to you only? You had a private revelation, I see. Jesus came to you. Jesus told you to do this.” Look, Paul anticipates the only possible defense of women preachers. One, “You have ideas that literally trump God. You’re getting private revelation.” As that most famous woman preacher says, “I didn’t surrender to a calling of man when I was 18 years old, I surrendered to a calling of God. It never occurs to me for a second not to fulfill it. I will follow Jesus. Jesus tells me what to do.” Really? The only defense is either you’re the author of Scripture, or you’re the author of a higher scripture than God, or you get personal revelation. One of the conversations that that woman had with Jesus went like this: “How ya doing this morning?” Jesus said. I said, “I’ll get to You in a minute.” He said, “Oh, don’t mind Me. I’m doing fine. How are you?” This is the daily routine of somebody who’s trying to justify their disobedience by special, intimate, personal revelation where Jesus talks only to them. So here’s a last word, verse 37 and 38: “If anyone thinks he’s a preacher, or spiritual,” – led by the Spirit, pneumatikos – “if anybody thinks he’s a preacher, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you are the Lord’s commandment. If you don’t recognize what I’ve just written as the Lord’s commandment, you are neither a preacher nor spiritual.”Verse 38: “If anyone does not recognize what I have written as the Lord’s command, he is not recognized.” If you don’t recognize the command of God, we don’t recognize you as a preacher or a spiritual person. What Paul wrote is the Lord’s command. Violate that command and you’re not a preacher and you’re not spiritual; you’re a fraud. The Word of God is clear.

“We are saving Christianity. We are saving God.” -Eric Trump It takes a certain type of diabolical narcissism to believe that we can save God rather than that God is saving us. No matter where you land politically, we must name Christian Nationalism as a theological heresy. Rather than Jesus being the Savior of the world, political leaders claim to be the saviors of the world, of humanity, and civilization. And America replaces Jesus as God’s central messianic force at work in the world. Beware of anyone who says that they are saving God or even saving the world. There is only one Savior - and it is not Donald Trump. Rebuke it… in the name of Jesus.

There are a lot of opinions in our culture about marriage, romance, and relationships—but today we’re not interested in opinions. We’re interested in God’s design. The number one thing men said they are looking for is not beauty, not charm, not personality—it is “a woman who has a love for Jesus Christ.” That’s not just good advice; that’s Bible truth. Jesus declared in Matthew 22:37 that we are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind. When a woman loves Christ first, everything else in her life aligns properly. A Christ-centered heart produces a Christ-honoring marriage. And let’s be clear—God is not embarrassed about marriage, romance, or intimacy. Sex is God’s idea. The Bible says in Hebrews 13:4 that “Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled.” From the Garden of Eden to the Song of Solomon, Scripture celebrates covenant love. Marriage is not meant to move from lust… to rust… to dust. It is designed to reflect Christ’s love for the Church—sacrificial, joyful, passionate, and holy. When we follow God’s blueprint, marriage doesn’t lose its sizzle—it finds its purpose. If you want a stronger, healthier, God-centered marriage, this book cuts through the noise and gets to the truth. Order your copy today:

Baptised Catholics who walk away from the true Church often claim they have “seen the light.” But let’s be clear, that is not the light. No failure of a priest. No scandal of a bishop. Not even the weakness of a Pope is ever a justification to abandon the Catholic Church. The truth is this: you don’t leave Christ because of Judas. The Catholic Church is not built on the perfection of men. it is built on Christ Himself and sustained by the Eucharist. Those who truly understand and value the Eucharist do not walk away from it. Call it what it is, not “seeing the light,” but turning away from it. Leaving the Catholic Church is synonymous with turning away from the Light.

Tucker might want to spend less time with the Quran and more time with the Bible. So for the 100th time, here is biblical proof, historical proof both Catholic and Protestant that he is lying. On purpose. To push an agenda. One that is at odds with the Bible. To say the Jews are not God’s chosen people is not just wrong. It is a denial of what the Bible clearly teaches, and it shows a failure to understand the foundations of Christianity itself. In the Old Testament, God declares Israel’s chosenness beyond dispute. Deuteronomy 7:6 says, “The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.” In Genesis 17:7, God tells Abraham, “I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you.” Everlasting means permanent. Jeremiah 31:36 makes the point in even stronger terms: “Only if the sun, moon, and stars vanish will Israel ever cease to be a nation before me.” If the stars are still shining tonight, then Israel’s covenant still stands. The New Testament affirms this truth just as clearly. Paul raises the question in Romans 11:1, “Did God reject his people?” His answer is immediate: “By no means! God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew.” Later in Romans 11:28–29 he writes, “As far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.” Irrevocable means exactly what it says. No commentator, pundit, or modern voice has the authority to reverse what God Himself has declared. Jesus said in John 4:22, “Salvation is from the Jews.” That is not a side note. It is central to understanding who He is and how God’s plan unfolds. Christianity does not replace Israel. It is joined to Israel. Paul explains this in Romans 11:17–18 when he warns Gentile believers not to boast against Israel: “You, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others… do not consider yourself superior to those other branches.” The Church shares in the promises given to Israel, but those promises remain rooted in the people to whom God first gave them. Church history confirms what Scripture teaches. The early Fathers acknowledged Israel’s election. The Catholic Catechism teaches that “to the Jews belong the covenants, the law, the worship, the promises, and from them is the Christ” (CCC 839–840). Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate solemnly declared that God’s covenant with the Jewish people has never been revoked. Protestant voices like John Calvin, commenting on Romans 11, also affirmed that God did not cut off His covenant with Abraham’s descendants. So when Tucker Carlson claims the Jews are not God’s chosen people, he is not correcting elites or offering a bold insight. He is simply revealing that he does not understand basic Christianity. The Bible is plain, the teaching of the apostles is plain, and the witness of the Church through history is plain. God’s covenant with Israel is everlasting, His gifts and His call are irrevocable, and Christians are grafted into that truth. As Paul put it in Romans 11:29: “God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.” Anyone who denies that is not defending the faith. They are contradicting it at its root. And when Tucker dares to speak as if he knows whom God has chosen, his arrogance knows no bounds.

Do you think that by the folly of man, the glory of God can be diminished? . I tell you, no kingdom of this earth, no rebellion of heart, no blasphemy of tongue can ever tarnish the majesty of the Almighty. His glory is not made by the hands of men, nor is it undone by their defiance. . Consider the arrogance of those who refuse to kneel, who claim that their disbelief can unmake the Creator. They are like madmen in a darkened cell, scratching the word ‘darkness’ upon the walls as though, by their crude mark, they could blot out the sun. But tell me, does the sun diminish because it is unseen by the blind? Does its light falter because a lunatic curses its name? No, my friend. The sun remains, burning with relentless brilliance, giving life to all who dwell beneath it, whether they acknowledge it or not. . So it is with God. His glory is eternal, unshaken by the denial of men. He is the architect of the heavens, the One who breathed life into dust and set the stars upon their courses. His majesty does not depend on our worship, yet it is we who are diminished when we turn away. For in refusing to see His light, we do not extinguish it—we only cast ourselves into the shadow of our own making. . Know that to deny God is not an act of power but of despair. It is the rejection of hope, the refusal to see the beauty written into the very fabric of existence. A man who scribbles darkness upon the walls of his soul does not conquer the light, he only blinds himself to it. Yet even in his rebellion, God’s glory shines undimmed. For the sun does not cease to rise because a man refuses to look upon it. And God does not cease to reign because His children wander from His embrace. . If you ever find yourself in doubt, remember this: the defiance of man is but a whisper against the roar of eternity. The glory of God is as unyielding as the mountains and as boundless as the sea. It is woven into the sunrise, the turning of the seasons, the song of creation itself. You cannot destroy it. You cannot unmake it. You can only choose whether to bask in its light or to linger in the shadows. . Take heart, then and do not be swayed by the noise of those who mock the divine. For their words are as fleeting as the wind but the glory of God is eternal. Acknowledge Him not because He needs your praise but because your soul needs His light. Worship Him not as a favor to the Almighty but as a declaration that you see, that you understand, that you are humbled by the grandeur of the One who crafted all that is and all that ever will be. . God’s glory is not diminished by denial, nor is it amplified by praise. But you, my friend—you are elevated when you bow before the Eternal. You are strengthened when you trust in the One who holds the stars in place. And you are transformed when you abandon the shadows of pride and step into the radiance of His truth. . Remember this always: the lunatic may scrawl his defiance but he cannot extinguish the light. The doubter may deny the sun but he cannot halt its rise. And the world may rage against the King of Kings but it cannot dethrone Him. Stand firm, therefore, as one who walks in the light of God. Let your life be a testimony that His glory endures forever, unshaken, unyielding and undeniable. . For in the end, my friend, it is not God who is diminished by our defiance. It is we. And it is not the sun that falters when we turn away—it is the world that grows colder in its absence. #ChristIsKing #WeAreTheStorm

Charlie Kirk on knowing if you have found the right church. “You only need Jesus, or you believe you need Jesus, if you know you're off the mark.” “You cannot talk about a Savior if you never talk about sin. And the modern church is afraid to talk about sin. Why?” “Because I might judge somebody. I might offend somebody. To the modern church, happiness is the goal, judgment is the ultimate sin and God is just a guess.” “In a true biblical church, God is the ultimate truth, holiness is the goal, and the greatest sin is blaspheming in the name of God and defiling the name of Jesus Christ.” “That's how you know you're sitting in a Bible-based church.”

The Jewish and Christian mainstream traditions share a linear view of history where there is creation, fall, redemption, consummation. History has a beginning, a middle, and an end. God is moving history toward a purpose. The Messiah comes. The kingdom is established. History reaches its destination. Dugin believes history is cyclical, not linear. No God directing things toward an endpoint. Just ages that repeat. Golden age, dark age, reset. And the people who understand the cycle, the initiated, the ones with the esoteric knowledge, they manage the transitions. They are functionally gods. The Bible says the opposite. History is linear. God is sovereign. He is moving things toward a purpose. The Messiah comes on His schedule, not ours. We do not control God. We never claimed to. “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.” That is submission, not control. Tucker accuses Jews and Christian Zionists of “thinking they’re God” because they believe in a Messiah and a divine endpoint to history. But believing God has a plan is the opposite of thinking you are God. It is acknowledging that someone bigger than you is in charge and you are not. The framework Tucker is actually operating within is the one where humans play God. Dugin’s Traditionalism, built on Guénon, Evola, and Crowley, teaches that through esoteric practices, through trance, through ritual, through occult technique, the initiated can access hidden dimensions and manage cosmic cycles. Crowley’s motto, read aloud at a black mass Dugin’s supporters held in his honor: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” That is humans replacing God. The Third Temple terrifies Dugin’s framework because if it is built, it validates linear history. It says God is real, His promises are real, and His plan does not need a Russian philosopher or an American podcaster to unfold. That is why Dugin made the Third Temple the centerpiece of his apocalyptic theory. That is why Tucker made it the centerpiece of his episode. The target is not Jews. The target is not Christian Zionists. The target is the God of the Bible, the one who said “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Because if He is who He says He is, then Dugin’s entire philosophy is a lie and Tucker’s content is just amplification of the lie. This is not Christianity. It is the counterfeit version of Christianity.

Dugin’s Traditionalism, built on Guénon, Evola, and Crowley, teaches that through esoteric practices, through trance, through ritual, through occult technique, the initiated can access hidden dimensions and manage cosmic cycles. Crowley’s motto, read aloud at a black mass Dugin’s supporters held in his honor: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” That is humans replacing God. The Third Temple terrifies Dugin’s framework because if it is built, it validates linear history. It says God is real, His promises are real, and His plan does not need a Russian philosopher or an American podcaster to unfold. That is why Dugin made the Third Temple the centerpiece of his apocalyptic theory. That is why Tucker made it the centerpiece of his episode. The target is not Jews. The target is not Christian Zionists. The target is the God of the Bible, the one who said “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Because if He is who He says He is, then Dugin’s entire philosophy is a lie and Tucker’s content is just amplification of the lie. This is not Christianity. It is the counterfeit version of Christianity.

Marriage is not a casual contract — it is a sacred covenant. The Apostle Paul writes, “Let the husband render unto his wife due benevolence” (1 Corinthians 7:3), reminding us that love in marriage is not manipulation, but mutual submission. God never designed intimacy to be a bargaining chip or a weapon. When a husband and wife stand before God and become “one flesh,” they enter into a holy union built on honor, sacrifice, and responsibility. You cannot manipulate your spouse with sex and expect harmony — manipulation is a form of witchcraft, and witchcraft has no place in a covenant ordained by God. Too many couples enter marriage with high expectations and low preparation. Getting married is easy; staying married is another matter. Success in marriage is more than finding the right person — it is being the right person. If you do not take happiness into marriage, you will not find happiness there. Marriage requires preparation, maturity, and covenant commitment. It is not a 90-day option; it is an eternal covenant. When we honor God’s design for marriage, we build homes that reflect His glory and endure the storms of life. Discover the biblical principles that build strong marriages.

Cringe! Paula White paralleled Trump to Jesus, saying: “Mr. President, no one has paid the price like you have paid the price. It almost cost you your life. You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It’s a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us but it didn’t end there for Him, and it didn’t end there for you. And I believe that the Lord said to tell you this: because of His victory, you will be victorious in all you put your hands to.” If that doesn’t make you cringe, the comparison, the parallel to the Messiah, then I’m not sure what will. Especially that prosperity declaration at the end, that you will be successful in all that you put your hand to. We don’t have any guarantee of that. We have no promise of that in Scripture. We’ve been given no promise of that by God Himself. I hope that Trump is successful in the things that are righteous and good, but the comparison to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords to Jesus Christ is just unnecessary and simply not true. Let’s just not do that. And let’s not “name it and claim it” either because that’s not something we have the right, the authority, or the guidance to do.

Chris Pratt just dropped a mic on AI hype: "AI is man-made. It cannot be God. It's inherently flawed and it always will be because it's made by the brokenness of man. It is not God and it will not replace God." No sugar-coating. No hedging. In a world racing to worship algorithms as the next savior, Pratt reminds us: silicon gods are still just broken human inventions. They'll never transcend our limits. They’ll never heal what only the real God can. Short clip embedded — 22 seconds of unflinching truth.

🎶👉NEW SONG!👈🎶 “No, Catholics Don’t Worship Statues” — The Song That Ends the Idolatry Myth for Good Every few weeks, like liturgical clockwork, someone confidently declares: “Catholics worship statues!” “Images are idols!” “God hates religious art!” And every time, the internet nods along as if this weren’t contradicted by the Bible the Church and two thousand years of Christian practice. Here’s what the meme-culture theologians never mention: God Himself commanded sacred images. Moses didn’t invent the bronze serpent — God did. Solomon didn’t freestyle cherubim, pomegranates, and carved angels — God ordered it. Beauty wasn’t banned. Idolatry was. And Deuteronomy ? The verse everyone misquotes? God literally says Israel couldn’t make an image of Him because “you saw no form.” No form = no image. Then the impossible happened: God took on a form. Jesus — the image of the invisible God. The Incarnation didn’t just redeem humanity — it redeemed art. That’s why the early Church filled catacombs with frescoes, raised mosaics that preached the Gospel, and carved the saints into stone: the “catechism of the illiterate,” truth for the eyes when the tongue couldn’t teach it yet. Meanwhile… You can build a forty-foot Lincoln, carve presidents into a mountain, or fly a giant Garfield balloon down Manhattan — no one screams “IDOLATRY!” But carry Mary in a procession? Suddenly everyone’s a part-time biblical scholar with a minor in “Graven Images 101.” Images aren’t idols. They’re reminders. They’re witnesses. They’re windows into heaven — the family photos of the Kingdom. This track exists for one reason: to put the “statue worship” myth in its grave once and for all. 🎶 “No, Catholics Don’t Worship Statues” — out now. A track for Scripture nerds, history lovers, and anyone exhausted by the internet confusing art with apostasy. Support the mission: 👉 Follow Peter’s Barque & listen everywhere: Apple Music: X:

“There are seven passages—SEVEN passages that have been used to say homosexuality is a sin. How many verses are there in the Bible? And for SEVEN PASSAGES to be made such a huge frickin deal…If homosexuality was such a big deal with God and Jesus, Jesus would’ve said a lot more about it.” The Bible is the inerrant, infallible word of God. 2 Timothy tells us ALL Scripture is God-breathed. No passage is expendable. All of it essential, truthful, and of God. Also, homosexuality being sinful isn’t some archaic thing of the Old Testament. Again, the Old Testament is part of God’s inerrant, infallible word as well, but also in Matthew 19, Jesus explicitly reaffirmed marriage as the union of one man and one woman by appealing to God’s design in creation. Think of all the things Jesus said and did that God didn’t see for to include in Scripture. If it’s there, it’s essential and inerrant. This is a core doctrine of Christianity.

Maybe you are facing some kind of hardship right now. Maybe it’s a health scare. A marriage that’s falling apart. A financial situation that has you staring at the ceiling at 2 in the morning. I want you to know something — if you are a Christian, you are not alone. Not even close. God is with you. Jesus said it Himself — “I will never leave you or forsake you.” (Heb. 13:5) Now here’s what’s interesting. A more literal translation of that verse has Jesus saying, “I will never, no never, NO NEVER leave you or forsake you!” In the original Greek, it’s actually a triple negative for emphasis. You simply cannot say it stronger than that. Get the point? Now listen — I want to be straight with you. Following Jesus is not a guarantee that life will be easy. If you are genuinely seeking to obey the Lord, expect opposition. Expect obstacles. Expect difficulties. That’s just the reality. But here’s the other side of that coin — also expect God to show up. Also expect Him to make a way when there seems to be no way. The road of faith can be hard, but you do not walk it alone. God is not watching your struggle from a distance. He is right there in the middle of it with you — and He will see you through!

Stop using the phrase “CHURCH HURT.” The phrase “Church Hurt” it implies THE CHURCH wronged you. THE BRIDE OF CHRIST. If I were to ask you to write a list of all the names of the people in the Church that sinned against you - what you’ll find is that ‘THE CHURCH’ didn’t hurt you… a small number of people did. This term “Church Hurt” implies that there is something categorically wrong with God’s design so now it isn’t just an attack on the Church - but on God Himself. Don’t attribute a brother or sister’s sin against you with God’s design for His people. Don’t attribute their sin to the Bride of Christ. DON’T LET WHAT A FEW PEOPLE DID TO YOU, ROB YOU OF WHAT JESUS DIED FOR.

🚨 BREAKING: El Salvador President Nayib Bukele credits the hand of God for TURNING AROUND his country in favor of prosperity and safety 🇺🇸🇸🇻 "It was the hand of God. And no one can doubt it!" "It is a constant proof that God works when asked with faith. Transforming that, the most dangerous country in the world, into what it is today, is the clearest miracle." "If God took what was already more or less good and perfected it, yes, it was a miracle..." "...but if God took the worst and turned it into security, into the best, then it is an example of a miracle. Without a doubt, and with proof. What are the proofs? Not only the great fact, but what we supposedly did." "We have to confess that we do not know how it happened. And there is no one who can come and explain how it happened. Otherwise, let it not be a miracle." BUKELE IS INCREDIBLE! A model for the West!

God never commanded us through His inspired written word to elevate Mary above others who learned from Jesus in the first century! The scripture says that Christians become adopted children of God, never of Jesus’s earthly mother! What’s even more confusing is how in Roman Catholicism not only do they say Mary is the Christians mother but also the holy Roman church is their mother too. So how many mothers does the catholic have? ⭐️ Eager to be a better discipler and student of the Word or just grow in your relationship with God? I believe this book by book Bible summary will encourage you and bring you comfort found in the scriptures. It is not a course nor does it cost anything! Come journey with me on this summary through the entire Bible, from a Jewish perspective in chronological order. 👉🏼 Just comment “SUMMARY” below and I’ll send you the details to get started today!! #bible #christianlife #theology #christianapologetics

Evil exists, God exists. God wills evil to exist. He did not create it, He could not create it, but He did not prevent it. He ordained it, He willed it - here it comes, listen carefully - because He had a purpose for it; He had a purpose for it - a purpose. Why Does Evil Dominate the World? — John MacArthur // March 4, 2007 If God is not in total control of evil, if He has not ordained it – listen - and if He does not have it under complete control at every millisecond of history, then this universe is out of control at the most crucial point. If God is not in control of this completely, then how and when will He get the knowledge and the power to get it under control? And I would ask you this: would you rather have a God trying to get control of evil, or a God completely in control of it? Take your choice. But the God of the Bible is in complete control of evil for His own purposes. It is really heresy to say that the world is full of evil apart from a predetermined plan and purpose by God that is far above the willy-nilly choices of people. So, what do we know up to now? Evil exists, God exists. God wills evil to exist. He did not create it, He could not create it, but He did not prevent it. He ordained it, He willed it - here it comes, listen carefully - because He had a purpose for it; He had a purpose for it - a purpose. This is critical: He had a purpose for evil. What is that purpose that God had for evil? Before I answer that question - and that’s the fourth in our little outline - let me read the Westminster Confession from the 1700s; some great theologians and biblical scholars put this together. Listen carefully: “God, from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass:“ Yet so, as thereby neither is God the author of sin, nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures; nor is the liberty or contingency of second-hand causes taken away ... sinfulness proceeds not only from the creature; proceeds only from the creature and not from God, who, being most holy and righteous, neither ... can be the author and approver of sin.” But then, says the Westminster Confession, all that God decrees and all that God providentially brings to pass is all to the praise of His glory - and they got it right.The reason for God ordaining evil is for the praise of His glory. Let me ask you a simple question to help you answer the question - the bigger question: is God more glorious because of sin existing or less glorious? Pretty easy question to answer, isn’t it? That really is the ultimate question. Throughout all the eons of eternity, will God receive more glory from His creatures because sin existed or less? And, friends, that’s really all that matters, is the eternal glory of God. So, it’s fourth down, and we’re on the ten-yard line, and I’m pulling out the winning play and we’re going for six for the victory. Turn to Romans 3 - and I want you to track with me a little bit; can’t take time to develop all of this, but I’m going to give you a good start. Wish I could build context; we don’t have time. But let’s look at chapter 3 and verse 5. Opening statement: “But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say?” Grab that phrase: our right - unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God. And Paul uses the first of a series of verbs; this one happens to be sunistēmi, translated demonstrates in the New American Standard. It is a verb that means to disclose, to reveal, to put on display, to show. Our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God. Another way to say that would be, would you really understand the righteousness of God if you didn’t understand unrighteousness? Isn’t there something to be gained by the contrast? Paul has been showing that God is faithful to His promises to Israel, and their sin and unbelief cannot alter God’s covenant, cannot alter God’s faithfulness.

Marriage was never designed to be a battleground for control. Love is not a license to change or control your spouse. There is no verse in Scripture that authorizes you to treat your husband or wife like your oldest child. God established divine order in the home, but that order was never meant to become a weapon. When you fight over headship, you’re fighting against God’s design. Real love releases control and replaces criticism with praise. The Bible commands husbands to love their wives and wives to reverence their husbands - not manipulate, dominate, or belittle them. Responsibility is the key to greatness - and it is also the key to a healthy marriage. Blaming your spouse for your emotional frustration will not fix your relationship. Accept responsibility for who you have become and for the quality of your marriage. If you do not take happiness into marriage, you will not find happiness in marriage. The Apostle Paul declares in Ephesians 5:33 that husbands are to love and wives are to reverence. Reverence means to stand in awe. When love and respect meet, heaven touches earth in your home. Try it. It works. Replace control with honor. Learn how in What Every Man Wants in a Woman & What Every Woman Wants in a Man
