Can a married person have a close friendship with a person of the opposite sex? What are the pitfalls of this kind of relationship?

Navigating the Christian life is not a solitary journey. It is by design meant to be in concert with other believers so that we can all learn and grow closer to Christ together.

The bible has a lot to say about work. It tells us that God designed humanity to work. It says work is a way for us to provide for our family and those in need. It teaches that work is good for us.

Anger is a normal and sometimes useful emotion. But when it is the overflow of a heart gripped by unfulfilled desires, disappointment, bitterness, and unforgiveness, we must see it the way God sees it—only as sinful behavior.

The awful reality is that, because of our sinful and utterly depraved nature, we are incapable of sacrificial love without the Holy Spirit. So the first order of business is to get right with God.
