Dangerous Cult or Dangerous Precedent?

I am heartbroken over what is happening in Texas. I watched some of the coverage online last night and sat shocked. Regardless of how much I disagree with FLDS beliefs, no matter how much I loath the thought of polygamy, and as much as I pray that these folks would turn from their strange doctrines and embrace the Jesus of the Bible, …

The Empress has no Clothes!

Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame (Revelation 16:15).

Yes, summer is quickly approaching. Many Christians are beginning to discuss and reevaluate their thinking regarding whether one should wear clothes or glorified underwear when swimming publicly. I read a good article here at Mrs. Parunak’s blog where she touches on …

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

Voddie Bauchum has a great review of the new documentary, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed,” on his blog. This one sounds like a must see (even if we have to suffer through the music in the trailer! LOL)…

“I have been anxiously anticipating Ben Stein’s new movie, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.” I must say I was not disappointed. Stein takes on Darwinism in ways that are completely unexpected. He tackles issues like racism, eugenics, planned parenthood, Hitler, etc. The movie features intelligent, …

A College Girl with a Heart for Home

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God…” (Philippians 4:6, NKJV)

“Hi, I had a question about daughters at home. I’m 22 and not married. I moved out of home at 17 (I had graduated high school by then, from a combination of public school and Christian). I then went into missions and …

Learning Disability or Gift?

Time and time again we see evidence of the beautiful gifts and amazing talents God has given to those who are labeled with various “learning disabilities.” Our daughter, Abigail, probably would have been considered “different” by many in the public school system. Perhaps we would have been instructed to medicate her; or maybe she would have grown up feeling like something was “wrong” with her. But …

Recent Happenings…

What a month! Last week, James and I keynoted the MCHE conference in Indiana and met a lot of great families! In my talk, I shared with ladies how they might help their daughters better understand the importance of godly deportment and presenting themselves to others in a lovely and godly way. We’ll probably make that one available in an MP3 file soon.

James shared on various subjects, including the history and relevance of the Reformation and how not to be …

Are You Attending the "Oprah Church?"

“You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you (for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth.”
(Deuteronomy 6:14-15)

Our family stopped watching television a long time ago, so in some …

Everyone should have one of these…

Just so you know, I don’t benefit from posting this, other than to see my readers grow in faith by reading good, solid, God-glorifying material. I know many families who use this for family worship time with their children. I keep mine in the master bathroom – the only truly quiet place in the house at times! If you are not already a subscriber, please consider this wonderful resource for your family…
