Humanism: The Self-Destructing Religion Infecting Christians
The Tempter’s Creed The most serious enemy facing mankind today is the same one that has always been…the “Tempter’s Creed” known as secular humanism–a.k.a. the worship of MAN. We are just seeing the full-blown fruit of it in America as we are burying the last shreds of our founding father’s faith and devotion to God’s […]
The Church’s Opinion of Children is One of Its Greatest Weaknesses
https://youtu.be/-O5LLB1bm9M I have a big beef with a large majority of the church’s opinion of children. First, let me tell you the story that prompted me to address this topic again. The story A young couple with whom we are friends attend a smallish, typical conservative Baptist church. Conservative in the sense that they would say […]
The Power of Children in Worship at Church
Why Children Need to Be in Grown-Up Worship “They’re distracting.” “Moms need a break.” “They can’t understand.” Why Excluding Children from Worship is a Disservice Sounds reasonable, but I believe with all my heart, children need to be smack dab in the middle of grown up worship, and we do them a great disservice to […]
Being a Mom and Wife is Enough: A Word for the Burned Out Superwoman
I assume many women feel the way this reader who wrote me feels, so I wanted to give a public answer to encourage other women in her shoes: “What do you do when you are so weary, you feel like you can’t get through the day? I feel like I try to juggle the expectations […]
When Christians Should Judge One Another
Wanna get someone mad at you fast? Judge. Say that something is a sin. It doesn’t necessarily have to be something that person is doing. We have never lived in a time more hostile than calling something wrong. It’s the favourite line on social media: “Judge not.” Consider just one example: abortion. There are campaigns […]
Dear Christian: You Can’t Be For the Great Commission & Against Growing Families
When you’ve written at the same spot for 11 years, sometimes you think you’ve said all the things. But then again, unless people are digging into the archives, some things bear repeating. So hear goes part of my heart… I recently listened to a Voddie Baucham sermon that reminded me of the Christian’s double standard […]
The Proper View of Family (Are We Too “Inward Focused?”)
I haven’t been able to stop thinking about something a (Christian) commenter said on a recent post, “Learning to Think Rightly About Birth Control“: “I really struggle with labeling the family as “the ripe mission” field and creating a “mini-church” in the family. Honestly this is probably the main reason I don’t homeschool beyond preschool–it’s a little to […]
What Makes Jesus Indignant? Let the Little Children Come.
“And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I […]
The Link Between Birth Control & Abortion: Is the Church Really Pro-Life?
Listen to this post on my podcast at Spotify. We must take responsibility for our part in the culture of death in which we now live, or be hypocrites, as we ponder the atrocity that is Planned Parenthood. We didn’t just wake up in a place where killing babies was an option better than […]
Practical Ideas for Women Mentoring Women (In Titus 2 Fashion)
The last post, The Difficulty of Mothering Alone and a Call for Older Women, brought much interest and the question of “how can older women best come alongside younger women” and encourage them, building up the next generation? This is by no means an exhaustive list of suggestions, so I hope you will, using your particular […]
