Married to an Unbeliever

By David M. Tyler, PhD

It is not uncommon to find a Christian man or woman married to an unbeliever. There are several ways this can happen. Sometimes a believer ignores the plain teaching of Scripture that says believers must only marry “in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 7:39). At other times, two unbelievers marry, and later one of them comes to faith in Christ. Either way, being unequally yoked in marriage brings spiritual challenges that require patience, humility, and steadfast obedience to God’s Word.

Biblical Parenting in a Fallen World

Embracing God’s Design for Raising Godly Children with Grace and Faithfulness
By David M. Tyler, PhD


Children Are a Blessing, Not a Burden

Parenting begins with a right view of children. Scripture does not portray children as interruptions to the parents’ lives or obstacles to personal fulfillment. God says, “Children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward” (Psalm 127:3). They are priceless gifts, entrusted […]

Trials and Afflictions: How God Uses Suffering to Shape His People

By David M. Tyler, PhD

Every Christian who desires to serve Christ will face seasons of hardship. These trials are not meaningless. God uses suffering to shape His people, forming, maturing, and equipping believers so they can comfort others with the comfort they’ve received.

Someone once said, “Preparation for ministry cannot be gotten from a degree or diploma. It cannot be learned in college or seminary… Our trials and sorrows become our credentials.”

That statement […]

The Sin of Apathy, Indifference & Complacency

By David M. Tyler, PhD

Introduction: A Sin We Rarely Admit

Of all the sins Christians face, few are as subtle, tolerated, or spiritually destructive as apathy, a dullness of heart toward the things of God.

Apathy does not always show itself through rebellion or loud disobedience. Many times, it shows itself through silence, neglect, laziness, and spiritual passivity. Apathy whispers, “It doesn’t matter… no need to hurry… no need to obey… someone […]

What Marriage Is, and What It Is Not

By David M. Tyler, PhD

Marriage is not a human idea, it was established by God for His glory and our good. Understanding what marriage is and what it is not is essential for Christians who desire to honor the Lord in their homes.

Christians must return to the authority of Scripture to understand what God Himself established in the beginning. When marriage is treated as something man invented, its purpose, permanence, and holiness are lost. But when we […]

When Laziness Becomes a Virtue

When Laziness Becomes a Virtue  In this episode, Dr. David M. Tyler explores how modern culture often rewards laziness and excuses irresponsibility. Through biblical counsel, he contrasts the world’s redefinition of “rest” and “self-care” with God’s call to diligence and stewardship.

Are You Slothaphobic?

A Biblical Response to the Redefinition of Sin

by David M Tyler, PhD

Are you slothaphobic? The word doesn’t exist, at least, not yet.
But imagine a world where laziness is no longer frowned upon, where indifference and apathy are celebrated as authentic expressions of self. Suppose sloth became not a vice to overcome, but an identity to embrace.

Sound absurd? That’s exactly the point. The cultural pattern of redefining sin and demanding moral approval has become familiar in our day. To help us see it more clearly, let’s consider a hypothetical movement.

The […]
