The Blasphemy of Bethel
As I typed out the title to this article I could instantly sense the eyerolls, sighs, and grumbles of "Ugh! Not more talk about Bethel Church! We are SO TIRED of the "judgy" complaining about their music!" While I have in the past given various words of warning on social media against Bethel Church, I … Continue reading The Blasphemy of Bethel
Psalms 6: O Lord, How Long?
Psalms 6 is another Psalm of David. As I was reading this next chapter, I noticed David is still in the throes of lamenting. He has been lamenting for 6 chapters. He even seems to realize his anguish is ever ongoing. He asks God, "But You, O LORD- How long?" David even begs God to … Continue reading Psalms 6: O Lord, How Long?

The Importance of Knowing the Rules
by Robin Self
Most people who read my blogs probably know me best as being “the preacher’s wife”. But what they may not know is that for a lot of years I was another kind of wife.
I was an official’s wife.
Not “official” as in an important “government official” who rides in limousines and has “people”. But the kind who spends hundreds of hours a year in a minivan, eating gas station food, traveling to various sports complexes and gymnasiums, for very little money, in order to be yelled and cursed at by outraged fans.

Psalms 5: God’s Justice on the Unrighteous -Our Story of Childhood Abuse and the Path to Healing.
I've been reading and pondering through this 5th chapter of the Psalms this week, knowing I would be writing on it soon, but unable to land on a way to approach it. I think because it is, so far, the most relatable to me of any of the Psalms I've covered. When I read this … Continue reading Psalms 5: God’s Justice on the Unrighteous -Our Story of Childhood Abuse and the Path to Healing.
The Current Crisis of Christian Deconstruction
Deconstruction. It's a word that is becoming all too well-known in Christianity. And not in a good way. For those not regularly reading articles online or watching YouTube videos, this word may not have much meaning to you. But it's one that we need to be aware of, as it is becoming a troubling trend … Continue reading The Current Crisis of Christian Deconstruction
“Should I let my child participate in a school field trip to a Buddhist temple?”
I am a member of several Christian social media groups. Some pages are for men and women, and some are just women's groups. I enjoy reading and getting encouragement in forums with ladies who are like-minded in faith. These are not the typical women's pages that promote fluff and talk about issues in the style … Continue reading “Should I let my child participate in a school field trip to a Buddhist temple?”
Bye-Bye Beth: What Beth Moore’s Split with the SBC Means
I am sharing Michelle Lesley’s well-laid out and astute analysis of the current and much-publicized Beth Moore situation. I appreciate Michelle’s faithfulness to speak biblical truth into our lives.
It was the shot heard round the world online Christian neighborhood I hang out in. (I’m sure most of the actual world couldn’t care less.) On Tuesday, March 8 – in a hit piece from RNS (Religion News Service) that came thisclose to libeling everyone who has ever biblically called for her de-platforming – Beth Moore announced she had broken ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, and flounced out the door, smearing the institution that made her what she is on her way out. Classy.
What does this mean for Beth? For you? For Southern Baptist churches? For the SBC?
For Beth personally…
For Beth, personally, it means she no longer has to keep her church membership at a Southern Baptist church. A few months ago, when Beth mentioned that she was looking for a new church, I figured she was probably looking for something much less biblically restrictive than…

AVOID THIS BIBLE TEACHER: Lisa Harper
When I started this little blog page, one of the purposes was to direct women toward sound biblical teaching and steer them clear of false teaching. That's why I titled my blog "A Worthy Walk". My desire is for Christian women to walk worthy of the calling we have received. This means being students of … Continue reading AVOID THIS BIBLE TEACHER: Lisa Harper
Psalms 4: Vain Words and Lies
Welcome to Psalms Chapter 4, another Psalm of David that has very much the same tone as chapter 3. 4 TO THE CHOIRMASTER: WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF DAVID. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and … Continue reading Psalms 4: Vain Words and Lies
