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 Gabriel Hudelson on X There is a war going on right now over what exactly Christian conservatism is calling young women to. Last year, I criticized this event pretty harshly, simply based on the name and speaker lineup. I enumerated a number of problems which can best be summed up in saying that it was an exercise in feminism, teaching women to be “boss babes” instead of Biblical women – i.e., home-focused, gentle and quiet, etc. At that…
Written By Moonlight_Myth on X I lost my husband because of pride. At 2:50 a.m., he tapped me for help and I pushed his hand away. I didn’t know that was the last time he would ever touch me. My husband and I had a small argument one Tuesday morning while getting ready for work. He complained about the way I sliced the bread said it looked messy and “unpresentable.” His words hit me like a slap in the room….
Written By @RRROBYN on X I can tell you as a person with divorced parents, it just never gets easier either. The way it’s hard just changes. It used to be that there was always the feeling that something was missing on every birthday, Christmas, and life milestone. The sadness permeated my childhood and adolescence, not because I hated my parents for divorcing, but because I loved them so much. I still do. Wondering who I might be, how I…
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…
Women often have trouble with the “tone” in the way others write. I have been accused of this even though I never swear, use all caps, or tear people down with slander. I’m direct, don’t try to tickle ears, and get quickly to the point. This is the type of teaching I have always preferred. Jesus and His Apostles weren’t always concerned with their tone, that’s for sure! Be more concerned with Truth than with tone. I love what Christina…
My best friend was raised in a feminist family. Her mom and her aunts were all feminists and career women. The summer before her junior year in high school, she went to a Christian summer camp and believed in Jesus Christ. But then, she went back to her high school where Mormonism, Buddha, and other false religions were mixed in with Jesus. She decided to go to Westmont College since it was close to home. It’s a small Christian college…
Written by Michael Clary Christians, you have got to stop being so gullible. Seriously, your naivete might feel warm and nice and friendly, but that’s not how Christian love works. A friend shared a viral post that listed all the un-Christlike things ICE is supposedly doing, such as using “children as bait,” “shooting unarmed protesters,” “teargassing families,” and “terrorizing immigrant communities and people of color.” The whole post goes on and on like this, and it’s dripping with moral outrage…
Written by Pastor A. Gene Robinson I watched a woman break down in regret, and it cut deep. Years ago, a Christian man proposed to her. He told her she didn’t have to grind herself into the ground. She could build a home. Raise children. Be covered. Be protected. Be cherished. She was offended. Feminism told her that offer was an insult… that dependence was weakness… that partnership was oppression. She chose the lie. Years later, the tears came. Not…
Written by @Biblicalman on X I retired my wife 23 years ago so she could stay home with our kids. Biggest mistake I ever made. Not because it was wrong. Because I didn’t understand that “building a family” actually meant poverty, food banks, and pawnshops. Nobody tells you that part. We dreamed of a large family. We got it. Five kids. She was pregnant for eight years of our marriage. And we learned the hard way that the saying is…
