Can A Woman Leave Her Father’s House Before Marriage?
The Botkin sisters recently apologized for their book, So Much More, which argues that it's sinful for a woman to leave her father's house before she is married. But were they right to issue this apology? What does the Bible say? Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow sift the scriptural indicatives and imperatives to figure out the answer… - What Numbers 30 really says about the extent of a father's authority over his unmarried daughter - How to balance binding the consciences of single women vs. encouraging them to become single career-minded boss-babes freezing their eggs by the age of 30 - Why it can actually be better for a daughter to leave the home, rather than staying – and at what age this starts to apply - How a woman should be preparing for marriage when single…and how she might need to leave the home to do this - How equating singleness with isolation/independence is a Marxist and statist view – and what the biblical alternative is Got a topic you want us to cover?

The Church Recovered in Its Shepherds

The Weak Are Still Welcomed
The sermon explores the character of Judas Iscariot through the lens of John 12, presenting him not as a distant mythological figure but as a relatable example of human weakness and spiritual failure. It argues that while Judas exhibited criticism, greed, and a desire for preeminence, Jesus remained at the table, demonstrating that even the weak are still welcomed by Christ. The message contrasts the genuine worship of Mary, who prepared for Jesus' burial in faith of his resurrection, with Judas' feigned concern for the poor, which masked his true heart. Listeners are challenged to examine their own 'Judas' tendencies, such as bitterness and criticism, which can poison their relationship with God and the church. The sermon concludes with a call to repentance, urging believers to remove the cancer of resentment and choose the spiritual over the physical to experience the fullness of God's grace.
