Social Media, Baptist Traditions & Ephesians 6
How do I know if my social media use has become sinful? Are there ways to use it well, or should I just get rid of it all?Why do Baptist pastors typically avoid clerical robes, ornate chains, or crosses? What is the motivation behind that tradition?What does Ephesians 6:2 mean when it says children who obey their parents will “live long in the land”?

NIL & Money Temptation? 2. Why Do We Have Blind Spots? 3. Why Did John the Baptist Doubt?”
NIL and the Transfer Portal in college sports. Is it an evil temptation for 18-23yr olds, since the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil?   Is there any significance to the fact that everyone has blind spots in their character and personality? Couldn’t God have made us fully self-aware?   As I read the Gospels, I start wondering why John the Baptist is so unsure about Jesus and who Jesus is. The Father and Spirit seem to clearly reveal the identity of Jesus as God the Son at his baptism by John. Yet as recorded in Matthew 11:2-6, John sends his disciples to question Jesus. I know this is probably speculation on your part, but I wonder why John appears to be questioning this clearly observed, heard, and experienced baptismal event and message from God.

“Faith in the Tension: Sin, Society, and Raising a Family”
Why does David say in Psalm 51:4 “Against you, you only, have I sinned”? Didn’t he also sin against Uriah and Bathsheba in this instance?   My question came as a result of Pastor Doug's message a couple of weeks ago in Luke 23:27-31. While I recognize that Jesus was probably being specific about the times just prior to his crucifixion when the religious leaders were rejecting his teachings. Is it possible there is another prediction here in Luke? In this passage, is Jesus looking toward times such as today, when women bearing children is not seen as a virtue, but as a hindrance to their growth and prosperity? We see this view in many individuals (couples) putting off marriage, putting off having children, and looking only at their economic progress and financial security.  How can we still prioritize our spouse and marriage when small kids demand most of our time? help make a catchy podcast tittle

“Promises, Parenting, and Praise.” 🎙️
I was just wondering if there was anything else to get out of Joshua 15, where they are telling about all the land that is given, other than showing us God kept his promise? And in that same chapter, it talks about how the Jebusites were allowed to stay, and I didn’t know why that was either. At what age should I talk with my kids about issues of sex and sexuality?  What is the difference between psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs in Ephesians 5:19?
