Life requires harmony. We see it throughout nature. Without harmony, whether organic or inorganic (e.g. mechanical), breakdown results and chaos ensues. This is what liberal feminism does. It causes breakdowns and chaos with its persistent objective to divide genders. Like a self-loathing individual, it spews animus toward everyone, especially men. Patriarchy, with all of its [...]

From Shannon Buckley at Mercatornet: Those who would have us stop having children have obviously got through to the editor of The Guardian, Lisa Hymas, who has announced that she is going to be a ‘GINK’ – which is apparently a trendy new term which stands for ’green inclinations, no kids’…. According to Hymas having no children is a family type that there [...]

This is a cogent letter to the editor that states what should be so obvious: throwing contraceptives and sex ed. at the out-of-wedlock birth problem is not and never has been the answer: During my 40 years in health care, I have provided care to thousands of women, the majority of which have been teens. [...]

From Jon Mitchell at Mercatornet: Secret infidelity within marriage is dishonest. On that, there is widespread agreement. But the prevailing question in our culture today seems to be whether monogamy itself is dishonest about human desire and personal fulfilment. To think of monogamy as dishonest is to miss the point. Monogamy is in fact an [...]

It’s no wonder there are hundreds, if not thousands of books on “how to simplify your life”. At the core of every human is a tugging need for simplicity and serenity. Yet, technological advances seem only to add more to our lives, not simplify them, and American life seems to brim with opportunities that ultimately rob us of [...]

From Mary Kassian: The new gender-inclusive NIV was published earlier this year. It contains thousands of changes to the Bible’s male-gendered language. Having a gender-inclusive Bible appears to be the latest trend amongst cutting-edge, cappuccino-slurping Christian hipsters. Don’t get me wrong. I like to be hip. And I enjoy cappuccino as much as the next [...]

Shelby Courtney has written a wonderful post about walking away from a me-centered mindset and learning to look at life through Christ’s lens: WHY? Why does it always have to be me? Why can’t I get to spread happy news about myself, and somebody else get to experience the joy that comes with only having [...]

This one left us reeling. It has to be seen to be believed. From Doug Phillips’s blog: The eugenic mindset is this—when people become a burden or when they don’t meet the standard approved by the elite for human acceptability, simply dispose of them. The eugenic mindset plays upon the fears and selfishness of individuals. [...]

From David Quinn at Mercatornet: [P]recisely because it is so egalitarian, the Swedish state has also completely stripped marriage of any special standing in Swedish society. This is one reason why Sweden has a low marriage rate, a very high rate of cohabitation, and a very high rate of births outside marriage (more than one [...]

Another piece from the Daily Mail: Instead of pouring our energies into organising a wedding, we put heart and soul into building our lives together. We developed successful careers, bought a lovely home in London, made good friends and had happy children. On the surface, we had the perfect life. Marriage or no marriage. In [...]

From the UK’s Daily Mail newspaper: A generation of young women have been put off starting a family because it will damage their lifestyle, career and looks, a survey shows. One in three childless women quizzed now say they don’t ever want to become a mother while increasing numbers of thirty-somethings in stable relationships and [...]

From a South African paper: Pupils as young as 10 years old were given contraceptive injections without parental consent at an Eastern Cape primary school last week. Girls in Grades 6 and 7 at the Emzoncane Primary School in Zwide, Port Elizabeth, said they were given the injections after a talk by members of the [...]

We are excited to announce that our NEW ebook, True Christian Motherhood, has finally been released! Here is the description: Women everywhere are looking for guidance, encouragement and vision. Gone are the days when we would have support from our community, friends and family. Being a mother in the 21st century can [...]

Face it: we live in a society where an “entitlement mentality” is growing all the time. More and more, money seems to be falling from the sky to a generation who really doesn’t know there is no such thing as “free”. Someone I know recently made this comment: “I love free insurance…no medical bills, yay!”. [...]

From Carolyn Moynihan at Mercatornet: Australia is known as the Lucky Country but a report on child welfare published this week suggests that its luck is running out. Like Britain and the USA, it has an increasing number of fragile families where children are at risk of abuse and neglect, thanks to marriage breakdown, single [...]
