“…the reason we want to bring this kind of stuff out to our listening audience is because the spirit of the age, the zeitgeist, tends to affect just about everybody. Especially if you attend a church, or your kids attend a school, or your kids are going to college. They’re going to be Millennials. They [...]

When a major tragedy captures global attention, there’s usually much discussion in the media concerning how such things can be understood in terms of a loving God. While some Christian leaders are asked for their response (and usually falter, sad to report), atheists will often chime in and claim that there can’t be a loving [...]

“We tend to be able to see the hand of providence in our lives when we pray for something and God says “Yes.” But isn’t it amazing when we want something and we want it desperately and we pray about it intensely and the answer is, “No” what happens? We begin to doubt if there [...]

Death. Betrayal. Sickness. Abuse. Persecution. Rejection. Financial setback. Delay of hopes realized. All of these trials and more are the lot of most Christians during some point in their life. Whether it is the loss of a close family member or the rebellion of a child, whether it’s the spread of vicious slander or the [...]

Recently I spoke at a ladies’ retreat and made this point: “You older ladies (we’re all older to someone) are teaching the younger ones whether it’s deliberate or not”. Question is, what are we teaching? If you believe the maxim, “As the church, so goes the nation“, we have a heavy responsibility and we’re largely to blame [...]

This is an good piece from Mercatornet’s Family Edge: Some of the most interesting debates on family policies are taking place in the European countries of the former Soviet bloc. In 2008, Lithuania passed legislation to define “family” as the married union of a man and a woman together with their children, adopted or biological. [...]

Puff, puff, puff … just one more step, just one more house! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. I felt like the Little Engine that Could as I trudged up and down my neighborhood streets with five children in tow, pushing the baby in the stroller. It was 1992, [...]

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 2 Timothy 4:3 I have been noticing that there something going on in the Christian community. [...]

I am thrilled to announce the completion of a book project that has spanned the past four years! Queen of the Home: Essays, Poetry and Quotes on the Honor, Power and Nobility of Biblical Womanhood is now available from Vision Forum!

Another excellent piece from Mercatornet: The illusion that moral diversity is a viable social strategy is at its last gasp…. [F]or about sixty or so years, Western culture has been engaged in a protracted rebellion against whole swathes of public ethics. For whatever reason, our culture has effectively disdained to engage in moral debate on [...]

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 [...]

Michael Cook has written an excellent post over at Mercatornet, responding to what results when we reject a Transcendent Creator/Lawgiver: “The religious fundamentalists are correct: without God, there is no morality. But they are incorrect, I still believe, about there being a God. Hence, I believe, there is no morality.” This startling syllogism comes from [...]

There’s a thoughtful, cogent piece on so-called “narrative ethics” by Sarah Flashing over at The Center for Women of Faith in Culture: “Christianity isn’t a list of rules, it’s a relationship” is how the cliché goes and I’ve never been very fond of it. While I agree that Christianity is about the transformative power of [...]
