Folks, our world (and that includes some of us) has a “lumping” problem! And, for the sake of Christ, it needs to stop! We must stop lumping people into indiscriminate categories and then making baseless judgments about a person or persons in “that category.” This happens when people/we say, “Black people are ___. White people are ___. Men are ___. Women are…
We are living in interesting times. Cultural trends seem to be shifting further and further away from clear Biblical truth. We are told that we are living in “post-truth” times.

Is there further Biblical evidence that can offered in this matter? It may surprise some Bible readers to learn…
When the Israelites crossed the Jordan River, Joshua commanded that twelve stones be taken from the river and set up in Gilgal as a reminder to God’s people of the power of God, when they “crossed over this Jordan on dry land” (Josh. 4:22). Reminders can be a powerful thing! What sort of reminders can we establish today to help us to…
