All sin is foolish, but one sin particularly so: idolatry. The folly of idolatry is so great that God mocks it several times throughout the Old Testament. This lesson reviews some of the images God paints through the prophets and psalmists to illustrate how foolish idolatry truly is!
Mental disorders affect a wide swath of the global population. As mental disorders such as anxiety and depression continue to afflict larger and larger numbers of people, we might ask, “what’s going on?” And for the Christian, how should we view these topics? In this lesson, Nate Bibens provides a generic, Biblical framework and foundation for how Christians can view and deal with some of the hardships of life.
Mary of Bethany isn’t a primary character in the gospel records. She’s only featured in three stories, at least two of which are not primarily focused on her. And there’s only one sentence of Mary’s that’s recorded. And yet, this woman provides us with an incredible example of what it means to be a disciple at the feet of Jesus!

Many organizations and institutions have been attacked by modern progressivism. But perhaps none has been attacked more than the family. For far longer than just recent years, culture has waged war on the traditional family unit.
