Our culture teaches us that it's important for women to be strong. The Bible agrees. Unfortunately, culture's idea of what makes a woman strong doesn't always align with the Bible's. As a result, Christians often have a skewed view of what constitutes strength. In The Right Kind of Strong, Mary Kassian delves into Paul's exhortation in 2 Timothy about the women of the church in Ephesus and uncovers warnings and truths about seven habits that can sap...

Embrace Freedom Are you living in freedom, or do you feel imprisoned? Even Christians sometimes find themselves bound by religious obligations.

Although the phrase "I am saved by grace," as paraphrased from Ephesian 2:8, is a frequent mantra in Christian circles, it is just as frequently misunderstood. The tendency to add legalism to salvation can cause faith in Jesus Christ to read like a job description-if you don't meet the listed qualifications, you cannot be saved. This can lead to self-condemnation and doubt and can cause you to ask the question, "Am I really saved?"
