When you think of the biblically teaching on husbands and wives, what immediately comes to mind? To some, it may be the arguments behind the egalitarian/complementarian debate. For others, maybe a specific passage comes to mind. “Live with your wife in an understanding manner” is a popular one. Or perhaps the standard, “Husbands, love your [...]

Facebook, Myspace, Xanga – this one is directed to you!
John Mark Reynolds has a post about virtual friendships that is worth reading. Here is his conclusion:
I must be with my kids to parent them.
I must be with my friends to be friends.
I must be with my students to teach them.
I must be with my [...]
Trapped in Casual Relationships
Posted in Lists, Relationships on October 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
In our lives, clearly we may have many acquaintances but only few friends who truly know the struggles and issues of our heart, that are with us in adversity, and rejoice with us in success. We all desire intimate relationships, but still we spend our time talking about clothing, work, others, sports, politics, church, and [...]

Get Married or Break Up

Go and visit Boundless for a short and interesting article on relationships:
For couples who’ve been dating a year or more, it’s as simple as this: Get married or break up. Here’s an excerpt from Scott Croft’s “From ‘Hi’ to ‘I Do’ in a Year” explaining why.
To put it simply, “not acting married before you’re married” [...]
Facebook, Memory, and the Future

Recently a friend and I discussed the implications of the Facebook announcements for everything that our friends might want to share. In a sense it has become overwhelming since we don’t need to know every post or profile picture update, and the updates to relationship status seem very voyeuristic. Yet, one useful feature [...]
Men, Women, and Physical Appearance

A recent post at Boundless Line caught my attention and reminded me of an article at Reformation21 not very long ago. Of course it is not real news that our world is becoming more superficial, but the outrageousness often slips by and invades our thinking when we don’t acknowledge it for the sin and [...]

Are those who debate theology and are committed to doctrinal fidelity really only interested in theoretical Christianity, in a religion that stimulates their mind and never reaches their hands?
David of The Thirsty Theologian has responded to a blog post which makes such assertions in order to be provocative, effectually saying:

A Severe Mercy – Book and Movie Recommendation

Today I’m recommending a book I’ve never read and a movie I’ve never seen. Usually I’ve very conservative about the books and media that I would actually promote without at least some disclaimer, but it comes so highly recommended that I’d like to add my encouragement. Every now and then I meet a [...]
When is Dating Sin?
Posted in Books, Life, Relationships, Thoughts on September 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
In the late 1990’s what seems like a movement “back” to courtship began. Since I wasn’t very interested at the time, I don’t recall the timeline, but titles such as “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” certainly played a large role in bringing the issues to light. Unfortunately, as with many movements, there were also rash responses [...]
