It is not uncommon to enter a church building in America and find two flags on the platform, an American flag and a Christian flag.
This practice is obviously not found in Scripture, but the long-standing tradition is deeply entrenched in American churches, especially those of the “traditional, Bible-believing, fundamental Baptist churches” that are part of the fabric of my church background.
Money touches almost every area of our lives, does it not?
It brings ideas to life, and it kills other dreams. It puts men in power, and it ruins men in power.
Christians talk about all the evils of money, but most of us secretly wish we had more of it.
Some people live their whole lives doing nothing but trying to get more money. This is true both of the rich and the poor.
As Easter approaches, I’m trying to figure out what outfit I will wear for that special Sunday.
This is what everyone does, right? It’s part of Easter tradition.
The tradition of wearing special clothing for Easter, often referred to as “Easter clothes,” has historical and cultural roots dating back centuries. While the specific customs and practices associated with Easter attire vary across different cultures and regions, supposedly the tradition originally symbolized renewal, rebirth, and the celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection.
What do Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh-Day Adventists, Jews, and the Greek Orthodox have in common?
Tradition.
On the one hand, beautiful, and on the other hand, detrimental.
I love traditions. I grew up with them, and I’ve started my own.
One of my favourite traditions is our family’s annual December trip to Kentucky to visit the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter to immerse ourselves in the Christmas lights and Christmas programs that they host.
Marriage today is not biblical.
Well, our modern construct of marriage in Western society is not biblical. I don’t want to speak for other countries and cultures.
To clarify, I’m not talking about homosexual unions and the like. Most Christians don’t need me to discuss the biblicality of those marriages.
What should I write about next? Are there issues that you are facing or that the church is facing today that need to be addressed? Take 15 seconds to let me know!
