Why does Christian morality look the way it does? Why is it these things we’re supposed to do or not do? Why not other things? Well, it all has to do with something called an “image.”
Colossians 3:5-11, Lists of Things Not to Do
The NT has several lists of things we’re not supposed to do. Well, why those things?

American Christianity Is Broken 1: Willful Blindness

Why Can God Murder People but It's Wrong for Us?
Yeah, I know this topic is not super fun, but I’m willing to bet a lot of you have been wondering about this and may not have ever heard a good answer. And that applies whether you’re Christian or not. So, let’s get into it.
Beginning to Find the Right Path

Doing the Right Thing
Why do you do what you do? Do you do something because it’s right? Or, do you do something because that’s what the people around you are doing? That’s a really important question with the way things have been going lately.
