How can I avoid slandering others?

How do I handle when other people slander me?

Chelsea and I look at some good verses from the Bible to help us answer these questions

How do I avoid slandering others?

  1. Think before you speak (Jas 1:19; Pro 13:3; 21:23; 29:11)
  2. Let your motive for speaking be to edify (Eph 4:29,22-32)

How do I handle when other people slander me?

  1. Diffuse it with a pleasant response (Pro 15:1a; Rom 12:17-21; 1Pe 2:12)
  2. Focus on living right (1Co 4:12-13)
  3. Truth God and be patient with the results (Pro 20:22; Psa 109:2-4)

California FIRES its FRIES!: The Tragedy of Minimum Wage Activism

April 1, 2024 was no April Fool’s Day for many fast food workers in California. When a new law went into effect promising a $20 minimum wage for fast workers, many found themselves worse off. Slashed hours or even laid off, young people felt betrayed by pipe dream politics. The law included a controversial carve out that benefits some food chains at the expense of others. And laws like California’s updated FAST Recovery Act devastate the people they proport to help. Is a coercive minimum wage even a Biblical concept? Especially one far above what employers and young employees would naturally agree on? The Bible strongly supports covenants and keeping one’s promises. Jesus’ parable of the vineyard workers explains that

Is Richard Dawkins a “Christian”?

In an interview on April 1, Richard Dawkins gave an “Easter message” in an interview. Expressing his concern about the spread of Islam in the UK, Dawkins called himself a “cultural Christian.” He likes to live in a “Christian culture” but he is “not a believer” and doesn’t “believe a word of the Christian faith.” While some claim this is a “change” from Dawkins’ past, I remain skeptical. Let’s look at some verses in the Bible to see if claiming to be a “cultural Christian” makes one a “Christian” in any meaningful way.

Christ Is King: The Richness of the Resurrection

Christ is King! This statement has become controversial in the last week. Instead of arguing over the politics of it, I talk about the doctrines of Jesus Christ that make Him king: Christ is King because of the Trinity Christ is King because of the Incarnation (which depends on the Trinity) Christ is King because of substitutionary atonement (which depends on the incarnation) Christ is King because of the resurrection (which depends on substitutionary atonement) Scriptures Referenced: Psalm 110:1 Matthew 28:18-19 1 Corinthians 12:3-11 Isaiah 45:22-23 Philippians 2:5-11 Isaiah 53:10-12 Hebrews 2:14-18 Acts 2:30-36 1 Peter 3:18-22 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 ***Castle Rock Women’s Healthis a pro-life and pro-women health care ministry.
