The concern here is not the noun issues, but the verb. The action of issuing suggests going, coming, or flowing out. Synonyms are egress and emergence. Think of issuing orders. Think of one’s children as one’s issue. To get at the root meaning of the word it may be helpful to consider an archaic...
What do we do when the meaning of something is disputed? “…if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalm 11:3). Our world is currently in the midst of revolution, a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving. The news is filled with stories about how different things are...
Perhaps the Lord has decided to treat us according to Romans 1, as if He is saying, Okay. Since you are lusting for oil and money I will give you up “in the lusts of (your) hearts to impurity” (Romans 1:24). In our lust for oil and money, we are now drowning in oil...

Ad fontes—to the source! “Holy Cow, Batman! What about the credit crisis?” “Well, Robin, it’s not really about money.” “Not about money?! Then what is the problem?” “Some say it is a credit crisis. Some say its a lack of market confidence, that people need to trust the market. But I say, ad fontes.”...
1 Corinthians 1:17-31 Paul wasn’t interested in baptism or fancy talk. He was not out to impress anyone with his knowledge or his communication skills.
