Articles that address the process of being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ for the glory of God and for the sake of others (II Corinthians 3:17-18).
For those of us using social media during this time, we need to remember that if we make our allegiance with Jesus Messiah, the information and opinions we share are moral issues. Here’s what I mean:
In this episode I have a conversation with my friend Titus Kuepfer about his journey from conservative Anabaptism to the charismatic movement back to some of his Anabaptist roots.
In my recent article, How Should We Interpret What the Bible Says, I emphasized the importance of deciding what matters most to us: grammar or history. Chadwick Beiler responded in the comment section with some really thoughtful questions about what I said and so I decided to turn my response to him into another article. Perhaps you had similar question.
The Christian’s greatest emphasis while “watching and waiting” for the return of King Jesus should not be on figuring out dates and events that will take place in the end times. Rather, it should be remembering the redemption story, watching for the full restoration of creation, and participating in the work of restoration by living holy and godly lives.
The Bible is the collection of writings which reveal God’s message about his good creation and his design to walk in relationship with mankind. This message ultimately culminates in the person of Jesus Christ.
“When I came to the part about father wounds the dam just broke and I cried and cried and was now finally starting to understand what was the driving force behind my sexual desires.”
Lust absolutely cripples us as men and women of God. In fact, it in tangles us in a net that prohibits us from being able to freely bear God’s image throughout all of creation.

There is no formula for sexual wholeness. We are all on a continuum of health or unhealth. At different periods of our lives we find ourselves healthier than at other periods of life. Accountability done well helps us walk in health. Accountability not done well, can accentuate our unhealth.
We need to stop calling it “moral failure” because that phrase is a cover, not confession. And it is confession that brings healing.
I had never heard something like this before, and certainly not from God. Sure, I knew in my head I was saved by grace. But deep inside, from the place I actually live my life, I felt that God was waiting for me to get my act together before he officially decided if he forgave me or not.
Finding God’s will for our lives is not as difficult as we like to make it, but it’s not always very clear, either. It often feels more like an impression than a lightning bolt, and that’s okay.
Did you know a man can avoid pornography all his life and still live in sexual bondage? Here are four signs you are not sexually free as well as four signs that you are.
Author Asher Witmer knows what it’s like to want freedom from sexual sin only to continually fail. We’re often told we need more personal discipline, that we need to think godly things instead of fleshly things.
What if I told you that discipline won’t solve your problem with lust?
Our male sexuality is given by God for advancing beauty and goodness. But somewhere along the line it becomes something that causes devastation and guilt. The good news is we don’t have to live with guilt. In Live Free, Asher Witmer shows us how we can find freedom from sexual sin, live with nothing to hide, and be able to fight for others.
