In this book, William Hendriksen offers a detailed commentary on the Sermon on the Mount, a key section of the New Testament. The work provides theological and exegetical analysis, helping readers understand the historical and spiritual context of Jesus' teachings. Originally published in 1934, it remains a valuable resource for biblical studies.
Proverbs 2 focuses on the pursuit of wisdom and understanding, emphasizing their importance for navigating life's challenges. It highlights the rewards of seeking wisdom, including protection from evil, guidance in making righteous choices, and the joy that comes from knowledge. The chapter contrasts the paths of the wise and the foolish, showing the dangers of following wickedness and the blessings of adhering to God's ways. It encourages readers to diligently seek wisdom and understanding, recognizing their value in all aspects of life. Proverbs 2 is a timeless guide to living a life of purpose and integrity.
Ecclesiastes is a philosophical and theological reflection on human existence and the meaning of life. It is presented through the voice of Qohelet (the Preacher), who questions the doctrine of retributive justice and observes that human endeavors are often futile and temporary. The book emphasizes the inevitability of death, the limitations of human wisdom, and the dangers of materialism and hedonism. It concludes by advising readers to fear God and keep His commandments as the foundation of true happiness and purpose[2][3][4].
This week, all four of us sit down for another Marriage Q+R, diving into your questions about navigating tension and other difficult dynamics in marriage.
We talk through when it might be wise to extend forgiveness face-to-face versus process it privately, and explore the nuance between sin in thought and sin in action — while remembering that all sin must ultimately be brought before God.
We share practical ways to re-prioritize your marriage in the midst of busy seasons, especially when kids, work, and other relationships start to crowd out your connection.
We also tackle the challenge of navigating disagreements about your children’s commitments — from extracurriculars to therapies — and how to unify around your family’s core values.
Finally, we close with a tender conversation about how to bring your children into the broken parts of your own family story — honoring the truth while walking in wisdom toward those still living and involved.
Whether you're in a season of clarity or conflict within your marriage, we hope this episode gives you language, encouragement, and direction for the road ahead.
