My dad was born on April 24, 1931. He turns 95 years old today. He was in my home recently, so I decided to gather as much information as I could about his childhood. I didn’t know much about it at all, sadly. (Make sure to ask your parents about their childhood before they die!) He grew up in a small apartment above a bowling alley in North Chicago. It was about 600 square feet. His bed was right above…
Written By My Husband, Ken, and Me (mostly him :)) Many people believe that if one raises godly children, it’s simply a matter of God’s grace. Is this true? In many ways everything we do is by God’s grace, yet there is a reason God gives us both commands and promises for us to obey as we raise children. Raising godly offspring is not guesswork or playing a game by chance. We have the freedom to choose to believe God…
Written by Mike Bucher on my Facebook page I have nine sons and five daughters. I taught my sons to never touch a girl until their wedding. So far, five are married. All five had their first kiss at their wedding. The other four are doing the same. I have five pretty daughters. I taught them if a boy tries to kiss you, punch them in the nose and if they want to marry, you tell them to talk to…
In 1958, I was born. The world was a different place back then. When I was sick, my mom would put us in the backseat with a pillow and blanket with some books and coloring books. There were no seatbelts nor screens. (Seatbelts were required the year I turned 16!) When she went into the store, she would leave the windows open for me, and the doors unlocked. There was no fear of me being harmed in any way. When…
My sons attended BIOLA. They enjoyed it. This was 15 years ago. They weren’t woke back then but my oldest son said he could see it coming. Well, it’s come. It used to be a conservative college that taught biblical truth, but it is no longer. I personally know parents who sent their children there in the past ten years, and these children are now living in openly sodomite relationships. Here is what Alisa Childers wrote on her Facebook page…
Written By Matthew Kennedy on X We only had four rules for our six children. They kept us sane, our household peaceful, and by God’s grace, all six of them have turned out to be wonderful young Christian men and women. Hope you find them helpful. 1. Immediate obedience (not to immediately obey is to disobey). 2. Speak to, answer, look at your mother with absolute honor, respect, and deference (they tend to do that with me anyway but with…
Today is the day after Charlie Kirk’s funeral. I had tears all throughout it and was amazed how many preached the Gospel. I loved it! I also loved the boldness and courage it took Erika Kirk to give a thoughtful and emotional speech in front of millions of people soon after her husband was assassinated, but I don’t believe she needed to forgive the man who murdered her husband according to Scripture. This is what God’s Word tells us about…
My children are my greatest treasures in this life after Jesus Christ. Invest into them wisely. This is storing your treasures in heaven. Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in…
Many claim Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are legalistic with all of the rules they put upon their children. Were they? Legalistic “describes a way of thinking or behaving that is excessively focused on rules and details, often to the point of missing the spirit or intent behind them.” Let’s go through some of the ways the Duggars are “legalistic” as many claim. They wanted their children to dress modestly. The girls wore skirts and dresses below their knees. The…
Written By Pastor Robert W. Reed “But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children.” (I Thessalonians 2:7) Institutional Care Day Care has become very popular as well as traditional in our nation the last thirty years. It has become the norm in our society and seems to be here to stay. Even the United States President in 2009 encouraged mothers to return to school with the promise of financial aid. Day Care is a fast…
