Mentoring, Leadership, & Homemaking
The following letter from the future, composed by an unknown author, is dated January 22, 2023 the 50th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion. “Dear Mom, Can you believe it’s 2023 already? I’m still writing 22 on nearly everything. Seems like yesterday I was sitting in first grade celebrating the century change! I know we haven’t really chatted since Christmas. Sorry. Anyway, I have some difficult news and I really didn’t want to call and talk {Read More}
The Republican and Democratic conventions have come to a conclusion. Party platforms have been discussed and voted upon. News commentators have given their opinions and interviews. The days are counting down to perhaps one of the most important elections in America’s history. Will the citizens of America stand upon the foundation of God, His Word, and the Constitution, or will the citizens of America chose to stand upon this foundation–the government? The fact is this: there has been a steady {Read More}
I recently watched the new movie Overruled and it made me very concerned about the precarious state of parental rights in America. Who will make decisions for your children regarding health care, education, religious instruction, and more? Will it be you or the government? Our most basic parental rights are at stake. The Parental Rights Amendment was introduced in both houses of Congress on June 5, 2012, and this issue is one of the most critical facing Americans today. We {Read More}
It’s crazy how Satan takes what is good and holy then twists it to be ungodly. Take, for example, the way God created woman. The whole reason He created her (us) is because He wanted the part of His image that is helper to be revealed in His creation. When God made Adam and checked out all He had made, He said there was no “ezer” for Adam. Ezer. Helper. The only other places in Scripture where that word is {Read More}
A vocal minority is seeking to redefine marriage in the United States. As Christians, we believe that marriage is meant to be between one man and one woman….but do we know why? Let our thinking be informed by Ephesians 5:31-32, which says, “’For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.” Our {Read More}
Only since 1970 and the publishing of Paul Erlich’s secular book, The Population Bomb (he studied insects for a living), has the notion that having more than two children was a mortal sin against the planet become part of the modern psyche. There is no population crisis in Western industrialized nations. In fact, quite the opposite. Instead, the crisis we face today is the polar opposite of what the strident environmentalists warned us about in the heyday of mood lamps, LSD, {Read More}
There is much controversy these days, even among Christians, over the number of children that a married couple should have. The argument, so it goes, is that a large number of children are bad for the environment, will use an inordinate amount of the world’s resources, will leave of all things (heaven forbid) a larger carbon footprint. Oh, by the way it will also possibly cause the wife to waste her education or possibly miss having a real career. The {Read More}
Yesterday I shared the disturbing trend of teens fishing for compliments online in Do You Think I’m Pretty. This self-destructive activity is a cancer eating away at the self-esteem of both young women and men. The more revealing, the more shocking, the better. Even nice Christian youth are bombarded on a daily basis with images and words way beyond their years. Cell phones, iTouch, Facebook, and Twitter. It’s here to stay. What’s a parent to do? Take time to set {Read More}
For weeks photos of tween-age girls have shown up in my Facebook feed. All asking the same question: Do you think I’m pretty? If yes, hit ‘Like’. Last week, because a tween friend had clicked ‘like’, yet another teen girl showed up in my feed. I read all 59 comments to this pretty brown-haired girl. The filth ranged from calling her ugly to comments about her parents. The culprits–fellow girls and guys. The sponsor of this insanity, a Facebook page {Read More}
God created each of us. All of us. We are not various races of people, we are one…the human race, created by a loving God. Over the ages, a tiny little lie took root and grew. A lie that says all human life is not equal, not precious, not a right bestowed by a loving Creator. It is not a political issue; it is a human rights issue. It is a God issue. This is Sanctity of Human Life month and {Read More}
