Last weekend, I was glad to participate in another wedding and to have the joy of giving a message. It was the wedding of Jordan Muela and Sarah Mendenhall in Indiana. As I was meditating on Ephesians 5:22-33 before the wedding, it struck me again that this passage is the most pro-female document ever drafted. [...]

Those of us who live and work full-time within our homes and communities – as women have always done, but for the short period of modern history – now often have to deal with questions such as were posed in a comment I received last week: “Being a stay home mom is great until husband [...]

My six-year-old son follows me into the cool room; last bits of sunlight cascade onto the brown couch where we sit down. Looking down at my son I search for the right words to speak to him. I quietly pray, “God, help me not lose my temper. Help me talk to him gracefully and not [...]

In an internationally watched court case that could determine whether German homeschoolers will be granted asylum or deported by the American government, the Romeike family had its asylum petition heard in a Cincinnati courtroom last Tuesday. In Romeike v. Holder (“Holder” is Eric Holder, the U.S. Attorney General), the Obama Administration presented oral arguments intended [...]

I’m so thankful, among the dearth of Titus 2 women in our churches, that there are so many incredible resources available to women, through the Internet, that encourage, equip and inspire them for the Kindgom-building work of growing homes for the glory of God. But I could hardly believe, when I was asked to be [...]

I want to tell you about a very special “miracle” —-it sure feels like one, but first I need to give you the backdrop. There are two very important things you need to know about my father’s lifetime battle to defend unborn babies. The first is his public record as a defender of life, and [...]

Some of you will remember the story of Lil’ Tait and his early arrival at 27 weeks old. Newly weds and new parents, Tait and Lauren Zimmerman, found in a few short months that the outline for their future suddenly included nearly a million dollars in hospital bills. Our friends the Zimmermans have been diligent [...]

From the Colson Center: I recently learned that the concept of the family room originated from guidelines that the government issued in the middle of the 20th century when specifying how homes could qualify for insurance. A new model of the home emerged which deliberately detached it from labor and functionality. Government planners urged architects [...]

A must-read: The family has disintegrated in the 21st century. This is the inescapable conclusion of many of today’s social indicators. With 41% of children born into homes without fathers,[1] half of marriages ending in divorce,[2] and the shack-up rate seven times what it was in 1970,[3] the nuclear family now makes up less than half of American [...]

Sobering: Demographers, economists and psychologists are scratching their heads over a phenomenon that breaks all their statistical models and paradigms of human behaviour. Why would people who are prosperous (and, despite the current situation, western Europe is) not want to do what human beings have always done and leave a posterity? How can they contemplate [...]

By Randall K. O’Bannon, Ph.D., NRL-ETF Director of Education & Research When RU-486, the abortion pill, was approved for sale in America in September of 2000, this two-drug chemical abortion technique didn’t simply appear out of the blue. It was the result of the years of planning, research, and market analysis by the abortion industry, [...]

This is a fun one from Mercatornet: The Sydney Morning Heraldrecently reported that “less than 2 per cent of Australian women have six or more children.” Well, I must know so many of that two per cent. I know families of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and a few with an even dozen. Whenever there [...]
