NPR ran this report on its Morning Edition show, and I sat up to listen. While providing a lot of new statistical information, the piece doesn’t ask or answer some key questions. First, here’s the meat of the report: The path to adulthood used to be clear — love, marriage, baby carriage — and no [...]

Not long ago I taught a woman’s Bible study on the topic of Deception and Discernment and wanted to share a bit of that with you: One of the most infamous and well-known quotes of the century for woman: “I am woman, hear me roar!” The world has colorfully painted a picture of what women [...]

I want to get straight to the heart of the issue and expose some of the many and greatest lies of feminism. As you read through this list, honestly ask yourself which of these lies you may have believed in the past or present in some form or another. Shall we begin? 1. I have [...]

Quite some time ago, I received a devastating email from a reader, and… I didn’t have an answer. This young woman wrote me for some shred of advice after discovering that a young man that she’d come to know -and love -quite well over the past few years,

Name-calling, insults, slander–if you are a disciple of Christ, you have probably shared in some of His bad reputation. (They accused Jesus of being demon-possessed.) In fact, the Bible says that you can be sure of it. And should we be surprised at a culture who continues to be deceived by the very same lie [...]

You know something that I’m starting to learn about us women? We’re really good at guilt. We’re really good at heaping guilt, for sure. “Oh, no, it’s fine, honey, don’t bother with the kids! I’ve just been on my poor feet all day long with absolutely no help from you because you were at work [...]

Some time ago, a mutual friend shared with me some tragic news about a girl (I will call her Hannah) whom I had been friends with but had lost track of in recent years as our paths had diverged. I knew Hannah to be a committed Christian. She had graduated from a prominent conservative Christian college, was extremely involved in her church, was passionate about evangelism and service to the poor, and was in an active Bible study with our mutual friend when she, Hannah, announced that she was expecting her boyfriend to propose within the month. What’s so tragic about that? you ask. What’s tragic is that Hannah, my Christ-loving sister, was planning to wed a non-believer.

Another great piece from Joel McDurmon over at American Vision, pointing out that those who attack Christian morals by calling them “bad” or “evil” have to borrow the very definitions they insist are wrong in order to make the accusation! I long since stopped blogging on atheism, deeming it often a waste of time and [...]

From this week’s Boundless webzine newsletter: Let me be clear: I appreciate women. Whether in the home or the marketplace or government or church, women have contributed much to their communities. But it’s also become clear that there seems to be an imbalance in many churches, an imbalance that has alienated many men. Sentimental “worship” [...]

It’s a mantra with which so many of us are incredibly familiar: “Just do you!” “Be yourself!” “Make people love you for who you are!” My father has described the four basic questions every man will ask himself before he dies: Who am I? Why am I here? What’s wrong with the world? How can [...]
