Written By John Rosemond in Naples Daily News I recently asked a married couple who have three kids, none of whom are yet teens, “Who are the most important people in your family?” Like all good moms and dads of this brave new millennium, they answered, “Our kids!” “Why?” I then asked. “What is it about your kids that gives them that status?” And like all good moms and dads of this brave new millennium, they couldn’t answer the question…
The family is under attack today (as I have written repeatedly about) and no nation can last for long if the institution of the family is destroyed. Dale Ahlquist wrote about this destruction and some prophetic sayings of G.K. Chesterton, who was a theologian in the early 1900s. (I enjoy these men’s teachings from long ago!) “Chesterton was so consistently right in his pronouncements and prophecies because he understood that anything that attacked the family was bad for society. That…
For years, I listened to the Dr. Laura radio program. She had a lot of good things to say. Yesterday, on her Facebook page, she shared a conversation she had with a mother whose sixteen year old daughter wants to begin having sex since everyone else is doing it. Here is Dr. Laura’s response. If she says everyone is having sex, then say: “I want you to be the only non-slut in the group. I want you to be the…
Ken and I were authoritative parents. Our children knew we ran the home and they obeyed us. (I made a YouTube about how we raised them to obey us.) Many told us we were too strict but we didn’t think so. We didn’t want to raise spoiled brats so we were intentional about training, disciplining, and teaching them to obey us and clearly knowing right from wrong. We worked hard to break their stubborn rebellious will and direct it towards…
Most younger people today are lost because they are not being taught truth; they are in emotional turmoil and trying to fill the void with drugs, alcohol, sex, and all types of destructive habits. It’s vital, mothers, to raise your children with truth. My friend, Carol, was raised by parents that clearly taught her truth. She didn’t have to go searching for truth. Her parents taught her the Word consistently. They wanted their children to hide His Word deep in…
Yet, another reason God wants mothers at home full time with their children and parents to be the ones to raise their children in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord – pornography. My children went to the public schools in Encinitas, CA during elementary school in the 90s. Years later in 2012, iPads were introduced to these schools. Now, they have found out that many of the children are being exposed to hard-core pornography. I am thankful there were…
This is a lemon tree I bought at Costco a few weeks ago. We have many lemon trees outside of our home and we have for years but they don’t do that good. This tree is sheltered from the salty air and winds that those outside are exposed to on a daily basis. It doesn’t have snails and grubs crawling all over it during the night like the ones outside. I often check it to see if it has enough…
The feminists movement of the 1960s began because women felt worthless and invisible. Feminists came along and urged mothers to leave their homes, find careers, make money and a name for themselves. An article written by Leslie Loftus attempts to explain the perplexities of trying to be a stay-at-home mom since feminism. “‘Stay-at-home mom’ became the preferred term for opt-out mothers everywhere precisely because it focused on the children. ‘Housewife’ was too focused on homes and husbands. We were defensive…
No one has to guess what God’s will is for them. It is all clearly spelled out in His Word. We can usually figure out God’s will for us by looking at our culture and doing the exact opposite since Satan is the prince of the power of the air and the Word of God is our instruction manual straight from the mouth of God. Therefore, we must all ponder who we want to live for and please. Do we…
You’re probably sick of hearing about the movie coming out this weekend called Beauty and the Beast and the homosexual talk concerning it but I thought I would throw my thoughts out there for anyone who is interested. The director who MADE the movie had this to say about it: “It may have been a long time coming but this is a watershed moment for Disney. … By representing same-sex attraction in this short but explicitly gay scene, the studio…
