There weren’t judges for long stretches of time during the time of Judges. God always preferred his people to live in direct communion with him. Judges only arose in times of need.

Hi Julie, thank you for sharing your experience with me. It seems like a very messy thing to navigate. We're not very active in church right now, so that may give us a little more breathing room. (I'd like to be, but it's incredibly difficult to...

Our family has done different things over the years due to changing circumstances. The general idea was one of "it really isn't anyone's business" especially if we didn't know them well. We did all agree that telling family was important since...

I am not qualified to arbitrate orthodoxy, but your accusations are pretty deep. Specifically apostate, and heretic. I’d like to see some citations on your homework about this guy. Point me in the right direction. Isaiah 43:26 confronts these...
