I need help with research on elder abuse. What scripture references would you use to enlighten me on the Christian's responsibility in cases of elder abuse? Should the Christian speak out? Is it meddling to discuss/report suspected elder abuse? I found very little in my concordance under abuse, elder and aged. Can you help?
Do you have any studies on drug use that is illegal? So many teens are using drugs, some say they are herbs and that it is alright. I think this is more than one question, but I have tried to find something to help them understand it is wrong. Thanks
In Noah Webster's 1828 dictionary, there is no meaning of the word culture as it can be used at times today. The 1828 meaning basically defines it as any labor for improvement or growth. When did this word change its meaning? The reason I was thinking about this is because some people who call themselves Christian refer to the Bible's "culture" at the time. Someone has told me that in the culture at the time of the Bible women couldn't be a pastor. I have heard others refer to a "Southern" culture or a "Northern" culture. In these times when diversity and tolerance is stressed in and outside of the "church", this word is used (or misused) frequently. Another phrase used is "culturally relevant". It may be culturally relevant at one time but not another. Of course it is comforting to know that the Bible transcends all so-called "cultures"!
Is the USA in the Book of Revelation at all? If not does it mention our demise? Where is the USA in the end times?
Can you tell me what a dumb spirit is?
