I’ve covered how the bible views abuse by looking at Ephesians 4 (physical and verbal abuse) and Ephesians 5:1-21 (sexual abuse). All abuse is emotional abuse. Paul wrote about these things first before going over the ideal family unit. You can’t have an ideal family at all without first knowing what isn’t. But First a…
My previous post covered sexual abuse which went over Ephesians 5:1-21. This precedes the verses on how family members should relate to each other. This was on purpose. But, what about emotional, verbal, and physical abuse? Let’s examine the verses before chapter 5 and see what Paul says. Ephesians 4 I therefore, a prisoner for…
In light of Ravi Zacharias unsettling sin of sexual abuse to many all over the globe, I thought it right and true to explain the biblical response to this evil. Paul explains it best in Ephesians 5:1-21. Note that these verses are placed before verses on the family. So, they must be read before explaining…
Many have been shocked by what has recently come out concerning the late Ravi Zacharias. He was such a well-spoken and well-known apologist of God’s kingdom. Now, out of all the hard work he did for the Kingdom of God, he will be forever known as a sexual predator. So many victims across the world…
The expression of feeling and story is an important part of music in movies and life. Watch a breathtaking scene in a movie and odds are there’s a glorious soundtrack playing in the background. In a ritzy restaurant, the owners play smooth jazz, creating an atmosphere of delight and charm. How do composers achieve these…
Music is sound waves played over a period of time. A pianist must learn to count and feel it while he plays. The closest archetype that demonstrates this is the tick of a clock. Sixty ticks a minute tells us whether we will be late or early to an appointment, how long until the next…
The young ladies stepped towards the castle just as it was beginning to rain which turned steps into a trot and then a gallop. The castle was all around them, enveloping them into its dark mystique of gray brick walls and little tiny slits for windows. But there was a light at the end of…
“You have such lovely hair.” Yewna’s friend, Maggie, said this as the princess of Ronalee encircled the curly tresses with the silver tiara. “What color is it?” “I don’t know.” Yewna replied, putting some finishing touches on her face. “Some days it shines as golden as the noonday sun. On darker days, brown reins supreme.”…
Nin gazed at the gloomy city outside his apartment window. It had been 8 weeks since he’d last seen Yewna. She wasn’t even able to give him a goodbye, but instead only managed a passing smile. The 58th King dropped of his daughter at Crowning College standing very firmly between the pair. He then gave…
Ninombir couldn’t read the king. At times he seemed gentle and at other times very commanding and even harsh to his subjects. Nin liked his style. The king had offered the mechanic a job anywhere in the land. Ninombir had chosen Noir City. To the man’s surprise, his request was granted. He tried to meet…
