The Meaning of Sex: Christian Ethics and the Moral Life
By: Dennis P. Hollinger | June 1, 2009
Dennis Hollinger argues that there is indeed a God-given meaning to sex.

Personal Story

I have a dear precious friend who was walking to work one morning in the rural parts of a city somewhere in eastern Europe when along came one of her co-workers in a car with two other men. He saluted her and pulled over the car to ask her if she wanted a ride to [...]
Fact vs Truth?
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | May 27, 2009
I heard a preacher once say, “Don’t let facts blind you to the truth.” What did he mean? Facts, misunderstood or taken out of context, can take us further away from, rather than closer to, truth. This risk is ever-present when reading Scripture because you can focus on one set of facts to the [...]

By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | May 6, 2009
As friends and I met for dinner to enjoy pictures of mutual friends’ wedding, their four-year old joined in the fun. At one point I asked this child which picture was her favorite, and she quickly pointed to one saying, “This one!” When I asked why, she pointed again and uttered the name of her [...]
Gender Roles Display Sin Nature?
By: Liz Sykes | May 6, 2009
In Genesis we read the description of how things would be between Eve & Adam after they had both disobeyed God's direct command. No matter what translation we read, the end result is the same - the woman's desire would be toward her husband and he would rule over her. The woman would have increased pain [...]
