This is a wonderful post from the gals at Femina: The happiest marriage in the world is not happy because there was nothing to resent. It is happy because the giving, forgiveness, love, and respect that are cultivated are like citronella plants to the mosquitos of bitterness and resentment. When you are loving the Lord [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

One of the most pervasive issues of our time has been the movement to embrace homosexual behavior, same-sex “marriage,” and the marred versions of masculinity and femininity that accompany this lifestyle. References sympathetic to the homosexual lifestyle appear now in books, on television, in films, and in video games and graphic novels. Even the popular [...]

We should have seen it coming. Back in 1989 two young activists pushing for the normalization of homosexuality coauthored a book intended to serve as a political strategy manual and public relations guide for their movement. In After the Ball: How America Will Conquer its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90s, authors Marshall [...]

The Influence of Post Modernism, Part 6 – Queer Theory – Steve Golden “…how many Christians have adopted Lee’s line of thinking, based on the faulty premise that there is an equivalent amount of love and Christ centeredness in same-sex relationships, and decided that there is nothing special about God’s design for men and [...]

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 [...]

From Andrea Mrozak over at Mercatornet: Improving education outcomes is a goal for schools and ministries of education all over the world. And so it should be, since they are linked to a host of other advantages, especially in a knowledge-based economy. It will be interesting to note, then, whether those who desire these improvements [...]

From Mercatornet: The sixth World Congress of Families, held in Madrid on the last weekend of May, drew 3100 delegates to address the issues confronting the family today. In a concluding statement the congress listed the challenges: ”Ideologies of statism, atomistic individualism, and sexual revolution challenge the very essences of marriage and family. Recent legal and public [...]

Another fantastic piece from Boundless.org: In the world’s version of attraction, I’m a consumer, not a servant. I respond to attributes of yours that I like because of their potential to please me. Again, this is not malicious or evil — it’s just not how we’re primarily called to treat one another in Scripture. It’s not [...]

From Boundless.org: George Weigel writes that “stuff matters” in the Bible. He means that everything is there for specific purposes and has real (as opposed to culturally constructed) meaning for our lives. To believe that about Scripture is to begin to discern a divinely structured whole that presents marriage as an integral aspect of our [...]
