This piece from Aussie writer Bernard Toutounji at Mercatornet is spot on: Why do governments want us to believe that smoking cannot be safe but promiscuous sex can?… I have never smoked, have never had any desire to smoke and nothing frustrates me more than walking down the street and breathing in the secondhand smoke [...]

From Citizen Link: Have you heard about the recent report from Sweden about the staff of a preschool no longer using pronouns like “he” or “she” when referring to students? It’s another example of what happens when marriage is redefined to include same-sex couples. The preschool’s approach to gender is a reflection of Sweden’s national [...]

UN Women, an agency of the United Nations created last year to promote the advancement of women, has spent the year hard at work getting schools in the United States on board with programs that fail to make progress against serious mistreatment of women but instead focus on a liberal social agenda. They advocate not [...]

It’s meant as a compliment. I know that. I really, truly know that. I know that, having blogged as much as I did, having written a book, being the daughter of a prominent pastor, and just being an older girl, I’m going to get things like that. And yet, whenever someone looks at me and says, “I [...]

From the NY Post yesterday: Amid all the uplifting clichés at their commencement ceremonies, graduating col lege students won’t hear a line applicable to some of them — you got ripped off. Student debt just surpassed the country’s credit-card debt for the first time. It is projected to top $1 trillion this year, according to [...]

The homeschool community in America has been in an uproar for the past week. Online message boards, Facebook communities, and Twitter accounts have been frantically exchanging information and conversation on recent events. Questions have arisen. Accusations have flown. Statements have been made. Stands have been taken. There is much to be concerned about. We are [...]

Lee Ann Garfias has written an excellent review of a new Bible curriculum and addresses the importance of not censoring Scripture for our children but giving them the whole counsel of God: Sin, grace, salvation, and the cross are not “adult concepts” but are rather part of the gospel message preached to all. But Jesus [...]

From our dear friend Becky Morecraft: Here’s my theory and I’m sticking to it: the family that reads books together – aloud – as a part of their weekly fellowship, will always be ‘on the same page.’ I was read to often as a child and still love the sound of my mother’s voice reading some favorite [...]

Sign Up Now For Becky Morecraft’s Elocution and Composition Course “If we mean to have heroes, statesmen, and philosophers, we should have learned women.” – Abigail Adams It’s striking to note how many of the Bible stories featuring women pivot around each woman’s willingness and ability to speak, and speak well. From Esther’s boldness and [...]

At church on Sunday morning, one of our elders, while giving his sermon, asked if there were any little children who would like to come up to the front of the church and tell everyone something they know about God. Getting up in front of our large church and speaking would be scary enough as [...]

Editor’s note: All too often, stay-at-home motherhood is held up as a luxury for upper middle-class families, something that is a privilege rather than a God-given right. Single mothers are told to get a job, put the kids in day care, and forget about enjoying such a “luxury.” Sadly, this attitude is even commonplace in [...]

Thank you to Ann over at Holy Experience for recommending this piece: Here’s a Twilight Zone-type premise for you. What if surgeons never got to work on humans, they were instead just endlessly in training, cutting up cadavers? What if the same went for all adults – we only got to practice at simulated versions [...]

From Joel McDurmon over at American Vision: A college degree guarantees you nothing. It could, in fact, ruin your future. There was a time when having a college degree almost guaranteed you a “good job,” certainly one that pays better than those not requiring a bachelor’s degree. Parents then determined that the costs involved added [...]
