BCF Blog Posts

A listing is provided  that links to each of BCF’s prior Blog Posts (the most current posts are at the top). All the blogs revolve around the theme: “Society, Selflessness, and the Scriptures.” Some of the blogs are about events in time, and may not be as relevant now. But others focus on what the Bible says about a range of topics or trends in society. They are quick reads, and may be helpful in evaluating “worldly wisdom” vs. what the Scriptures say. Examples of topics that still resonate today include:

  • Loneliness and the Scriptures
  • Genetic Predispositions (Parts 1, 2, and 3)
  • Socialism, Capitalism, and the Scriptures
  • Teaching Children Selflessness (Parts 1, 2, and 3)
  • Addiction: Who’s in Control? (Parts 1 through 4)
  • The Tragedy of Opioid Abuse (Parts 1, 2, and 3)
  • The “Words We Prefer Not to Hear” series
