Does Christianity make wives "ripe for abuse"?
Wednesday, October 19, 2022

He's obviously being a very horrible jerk.
Wednesday, September 28, 2022
It can seem like weak advice to people to "look to Jesus" in their situation. But it only seems like weak advice to those who haven't yet grasped what it means to "look to Jesus." Look to Jesus. My website: https://BibleThinker.org

Joel Osteen misuses the Bible 14 out of 15 times in one sermon.
Tuesday, September 6, 2022
Since Joel Osteen removed my first video giving a full analysis of his sermon, I am uploading this highly edited one focused on his use of Scripture specifically. Why are you doing this, Mike? Because you can't think biblically if your teachers are misus

Is your marriage “Christian”?

"Can I marry a Muslim?"
Monday, August 29, 2022

I endorse husband-leaders, but there is a danger in it.
Wednesday, August 17, 2022
