Exalting the Name of Motherhood-It’s up to Us!
Today I felt the need to just encourage all the mommies out there, who are devoting their lives to God’s highest calling for women. With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, I would love to see Motherhood being exalted everywhere, and mothers being encouraged and supported. I urge you to do your own encouraging…you never know how…

If You Want to Live Profoundly….
“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”…that famous quote (was is Winston Churchill?) holds a profound truth. At the time, of course, that “hand” was referring to the mother. It made perfect sense that when a mother, from the birth of her infant, poured her life into the teaching, training and instruction of…

God’s Evangelism Plan
One of my readers posted a comment about the tragedy of the church’s opposition to families who are receiving their children. She mentioned that their ministry had actually lost supporters because they “had too many children”. Her comment fertilized a seed that had already been growing as an idea for this blog. Apparently, many churches…

A Wake-up Call to the Christian Church
Christians claim to be pro-life. We protest, attend rallies, and write to our congressmen. I think it is far more accurate to say that the church is anti-abortion, not pro-life. To claim to be pro-life assumes that one loves life…every life, believing that each life is a gift from God. It’s easy to write that…

Who Causes Children–It Matters What You Think
In trying to understand our culture’s current attitude toward children and the common practice of birth control, one has to dig, if you will, or peel back many different layers of thinking. In speaking about a friend of mine who has seven children, another friend (strong believer) commented, “I just don’t think they know what…

What God Calls Holy
In their book So Much More, Elizabeth and Anna Sophia Botkin boldly proclaim the truth on many prevalent subjects, but I wanted to quote from their book a comment on having children. This was an answer to the common deception that “children are a big expense and a big inconvenience if they are born at…

Birth Control: Killing Women, Killing Babies?
Based on the recent post about negative health effects of birth control, and positive health effects of having children and breast feeding, I wanted to provide some evidence for our readers. There are many websites and sources that provide information about these topics. But I will provide a few below that I thought were easy…

Perishing for the Lack of Vision?
I spend a lot of time puzzling over why children have become so devalued in our culture. Why is it so easy for mothers to drop off their infants with a stranger to raise for the better part of the day? What is the enormous pull of career over raising children? Why are mothers so…

Pregnancy is Healthy
(A note regarding the last blog: Just to clear things up, my last post was fuzzy about Sanger being the “inventor” of birth control, which she is not. Sanger was merely the mother of the movement…the one who campaigned to make the use of birth control a common, accepted practice.) For those who didn’t know……

The Origin of Birth Control: The Evil Margaret Sanger
When the Lord first began to work in my heart about His plan for families, and having children, my husband and I did a lot of reading and research before we came to a final decision. We thought it would be logical to see where the practice of birth control originated, what its implications on…
