I am engaged to be married I love my fiance with all my heart. My fiance recently revealed to me that she did some terrible things in her past, like having an affair with a married man and having an abortion. She still feels guilty about her past. I was taken a back by what she revealed to me, but that doesn’t make me love her any less. I on the other hand have been a committed Christian since a teenager and enjoyed working in the vineyard of the Lord. I always thought that God had a greater plan for me, that he wanted meRead More →

On the Guild we’ve been having a debate on what separates Christian Fiction from Non-Christian. I submitted a version of this piece on that blog, originally as Writing as Unto the Lord. And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men –Colossians 3:23 What separates secular from sacred?

What does the Bible say about interracial relationships?   The key verse on it is Colassians 3:11 “there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, slave or freeman, but Christ is all things in all.” The bible’s only prohibition on who you can marry (besides stuff like someone who’s already married/unlawfully divorced) is 2Corinthians 6:14, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship does righteousness have with lawlessness? And what partnership does light have with darkness? “ So let me state it plainly: in Christianity, it doesn’t matter what the color of the guy’s skin is; what matters isRead More →
