For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Romans 15:4

Father’s Role Reviewal, Not Role Reversal
Wives, be subject to your husbands … Husbands, love your wives … Children, be obedient to your parents. Colossians 3:18-20
The mere mention of the word “roles”, as in fathers and mothers (and children) having unique roles in a family, can cause hair to bristle, teeth to gnash, and steam to rise. “What kind of outdated, patriarchal, oppressor are you?” is what you will hear or feel.

TCW Minute: An Unlikely Convert (Week of June 5, 2017)
There’s no bridge too far. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
The Bible says the unbeliever is “dead in trespasses and sins” and thus every conversion to new life in Christ is a supernatural work of God.

TCW Minute: Spiritual Blind Spots (Week of March 6, 2016)
What is something that everyone has, that we are able to clearly see in others yet rarely in ourselves? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
If you answered “blind spots”, you are correct! No one in Scripture received more strong criticism from Jesus than the scribes and Pharisees, the religious leaders of His day, who were known for their external displays of religiosity rather than an authentic, inner devotion.
Jesus said about them, […]
Identifying and Overcoming Our Spiritual Blind Spots
