Featured Excerpt

Modern culture treats desire as identity and impulse as authority. Scripture makes a crucial distinction modern psychology rejects: the body influences behavior, but it does not define the self. Jesus calls His followers not to express every impulse, but to rule them in obedience to God.

 Man and the Idea of Self-Expression
A Biblical Critique of a Popular Philosophy

Part 1

By David M Tyler, PhD

Featured Excerpt

Self-expression did not begin with psychology. It began with the serpent’s lie that obedience to God is suppression and self-assertion is freedom.

Introduction

Modern culture praises self-expression as essential to mental health, authenticity, and personal freedom. To suppress one’s desires is said to be harmful, even immoral. But Scripture tells a very different story. The Bible traces the idea of self-expression not to human flourishing, but to human rebellion.

To understand the danger of this philosophy, we must […]

Equality of Men and Women: Created Equal, Different by Design

By |2025-12-30T09:24:47-06:00December 28th, 2025|biblical counseling, biblical discernment, Christian worldview|

📌 Featured Excerpt

The Bible affirms the full equality of men and women from the very beginning. Both are created in the image of God, equally valued, equally accountable, and equally essential to God’s design. While men and women have different God-ordained roles, Scripture never teaches superiority or inferiority. When biblical equality is neglected, marriages suffer, churches weaken, and God’s design is distorted.Equality of Men and Women: Created Equal, Different by Design

The Normalization of Homosexuality in Modern Culture

(Part 2 in the series “When Culture Redefines Sin”)

By David M Tyler, PhD

In last week’s article, Are You Slothaphobic? A Biblical Response to the Redefinition of Sin, we looked at how culture renames sin to make it sound respectable. What Scripture calls sloth is rebranded as “self-care.” In the same way, our world has redefined homosexuality, not as sin, but as a legitimate and even biblical expression of love, celebrated as equal to heterosexuality.

The redefinition of sin in today’s culture is not simply linguistic, […]

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. This practical message reminds believers that genuine rest flows from obedience, not avoidance—and that virtue is found in faithfulness, not comfort.

Part 1

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.
