We talked last time about the power that is now wielded by the Seductress not only through her physical presence, but now through photography and video.  The power of this medium is not to be trivialized. Pornography has destroyed marriages, it has encouraged all sorts of perversion, and it has taken ministries away from individuals. [...]

She is a Cheap Imitation

Much could be said about the bond that should be present between a husband and wife.  That bond is reflective of the bond between Christ and the Church, a bond that is supposed to last until death, and that is unconditional.

Imagery is used quite often in the Bible to make a point.  A lot of what Christ said to His followers were in the form of parables1.  So it shouldn’t surprise us to find an analogy in the Proverbs that compares people to things. Wisdom is often personified as a woman, and very often we [...]

The Seductress can take many forms.  She can be a single woman or a married woman.  In this particular case, we learn that the Seductress has forsaken the companion of her youth1.

The Other Woman

The Proverbs 31 woman is the paragon of virtue—the one that all young ladies are to aspire to and the one that all young men are to seek out.  She is the one that cares for her family, seeks her husbands best, provides for her children, and is honored by them. However, there is another [...]
