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 [...]

In the ten years since I committed my life to Jesus Christ, I have often wondered about my purpose. What are the most important things for me to be doing in life? Gradually, my focus has shifted from the question “what do I want?” to “what does God want?” I have sought God’s will when [...]

From Jess at Making Home (thanks, Kelly, for the recommendation!) If prompted to think of “the Proverbs Woman”, anyone who has read a handful of books, skimmed a few blogs, or heard a sermon or two aimed at Christian women will automatically call to mind the Proverbs 31 woman. Land investor, wise guru, accomplished seamstress, [...]

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 [...]

When I attended a chapel during my Christian university’s week of gender reconciliation chapels, I found that many of the women on the panel had begun to consider the question of whether or not they experience oppression as women in their daily lives. One woman’s comment was particularly intriguing. She said, “Before coming to this [...]

The nomad and the anarchist accuse the domestic ideal of being merely timid and prim. But this is not because they themselves are bolder or more vigorous, but simply because they do not know it well enough to know how bold and vigorous it is. –G.K. Chesterton Have you ever sat too long in the [...]

Be careful which sins you allow yourself to think you don’t have a problem with… I tend to think of myself as not a covetous person. After all, I don’t crave fancy cars, high end jewelry, or a huge mansion. I certainly don’t need the latest gadgets, the newest computer, or designer jeans. But I have [...]

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” [...]

The signature line I use on message boards or other ways to communicate on the internet is always the same: “Be soft of voice and gentle of bearing.” Somehow that sentence seems to resonate with people because people often ask me where it comes from. It’s the beginning line of the following poem, which [...]

“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” ~ Proverbs 29:18 What is womanhood? What does it mean to be feminine? Is there an unchanging standard for the woman’s role in the world? These questions puzzle us more in our modern culture than perhaps ever before. [...]
