It is important to understand biblical narratives versus imperatives. Imperatives are commands while narratives are stories or accounts in Scripture that should not be given as much weight. Christians should build their theology with imperatives (or commands, such as Romans 13, 1 Peter 2, and Titus 3) supported by narratives (or accounts) versus the other […]

The Wisdom of Having a Fear of God

Proverbs 9:10 says, “Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Psalm 111:10 says, “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments.” Fear of God demonstrates wisdom and understanding because it reveals a heart that […]

Understanding Submission

November 2, 2019 by Scott LaPierre 18 Comments

understanding-submission-author-scott-lapierre

If you are an American, I have bad news for you. You may have more trouble with submission than most people. Submission is considered not only un-American but downright anti-American. “Give me liberty or give me death,” was Founding Father Patrick Henry’s famous declaration during the American Revolution. And, indeed, Americans value liberty more than […]

What-respect-and-disrespect-look-like-to-a-husband-author-scott-lapierre

Ephesians 5:25 commands “husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church” In verses 26-32 Paul describes what it looks like for husbands to obey this command. One might then expect the passage to end with similar instructions to the wife, such as: “Let each one of you in particular love his own wife […]

The Morality of Listening and Speaking

May 31, 2019 by Scott LaPierre 4 Comments

If we don’t understand morality we might fail to see the goodness of certain behaviors and the sinfulness of others. How tragic would it be to spend years doing something you thought was amoral (or spiritually neutral), only to find out it’s immoral. Or how tragic to avoid something you thought was immoral, only to […]

How Wives Win Over Husbands the Right and Wrong Way by Scott LaPierre

If you’re a wife, Peter tells you how not to win over your husband (with words). And he tells you how to win over your husband (with godly conduct): Wives submit to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, you may win over your husband without a word by your actions, when […]

Complementarianism and Egalitarianism: Which Is Right?

Complementarianism and Egalitarianism Which Is Right-author-scott-lapierre

What is complementarianism? Egalitarianism? Is one biblical? Unbiblical? Which is correct? Read on! God created Eve because He wanted Adam to have “a helper comparable to him” (Genesis 2:18). The Hebrew word for “comparable” is neged. Other translations say: NASB & NIV—“suitable for him” ESV—“fit for him” HCSB—“his complement” The literal translation actually means “opposite […]
