Some Random Good Stuff


It’s time again to share some of the articles which I found of good value this past few weeks, and which I have permanently bookmarked for future reference.  I hope you will find them as thought-provoking as did I.

One of the standard atheist/skeptic talking points is that the Bible condones slavery and sexism.  This article should provide you with some good responses.

Another of the atheist talking points is about God’s “genocide” of the Amalekites (as well as other Canaanite tribes).  I found a really good explanation to share with those blindly using such talking points.

How do you feel about your wife?  Is she your “help meet”?  Do you give her the recognition she deserves?  Well, surprisingly, I think I usually do.  Tim Challies had a good article which made me think very much of my own wife.  What do you think, husbands? Perhaps you might do as I did, and share it with your wife while telling her it is how you think of her.

Now, this article is just about some interesting history in regards to the Old Testament.  Fascinating stuff.

Last, but not least, I think Jon Gleason had an excellent analogy in regards to what really makes a Christian.  Hint: it isn’t what we wear or what we claim, or even lots of things we do.

  1. Hello, Glenn. Thank you for the link.

    That is an excellent article on the Amalekites. The topic is a difficult one, but when we put it in the context of all of Scripture it begins to make more sense, and he's done a good job of that.
