We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Husbands!


Wives should be shielded by their husbands from all unnecessary embarrassment. Whether it be disrespectful expressions by the children, or insulting comments from friends and associates, or your own careless public criticisms or jokes about her idiosyncrasies, you must protect her from all such pejorative remarks. Be mindful also of the clothing you ask her to wear, that it doesn’t dishonor her, and of the responsibilities you request of her, that they are befitting her as the weaker vessel.

Lou Priolo, The Complete Husband, pg.196
