"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness?" That was Paul's command and rhetorical question to the church in Corinth. But those were the old days, and Christians aren't beholden to that standard anymore. After...
It is an absolute disgrace that the true Church refuses to denounce, with a bold and unified voice, these charlatans that continue to defile the name of Christ by pushing sexual perversions, Communism, and abortion in the name of Christ. I can't help but believe that...

Men and women were made to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. The scriptures show us how to fulfill this chief end by teaching what should be believed about God and what duty God requires from man. The first three Q&As of the Westminster Shorter Catechism explain this and Aimee, as an Orthodox Presbyterian, is undoubtedly aware of our general anthropologic purpose.

Fasting is not about “indulging God,” as Lisa says. Fasting is an involuntary response to an outward influence and the Bible says fasting is always tied to mourning or some extreme situation/decision. One does not wake up and simply decide to fast; we do not fast to “get closer to God” or to “hear God better.”
