Or wields like a … Continue reading Flanders: Don’t Waste Your Girl Power

Hargraves: Is “Manly Dominance” Biblical?: A Response to Shalom Pearl Brand
In her post Shalom speaks to the importance of training our children to be good husbands and wives. That is well, fine, and good, but it is when she, in true Pearl fashion, goes on to explain exactly what that would look like that I quickly became disturbed at the extremely unBiblical nature of what she was claiming to be “Biblical” manhood (and, in a … Continue reading Hargraves: Is “Manly Dominance” Biblical?: A Response to Shalom Pearl Brand

Desiring God: The Hardest Part of Mothering

No one told me that after training our children to sleep through the night, after helping them learn the ways of kindness and the value of hard work, after teaching them the joy of reading and the delight of knowing the living word, after determining to most gladly spend and be spent for their souls, no one told me that the … Continue reading Desiring God: The Hardest Part of Mothering

Objectification and sexual objectification can … Continue reading McDurmon: Egalitarianism’s dirty secret: the sexual objectification of women
Family Matters: Our best lessons are taught by example

At the same time, society has tossed out any kind of Biblical standard as to how husband/wife relationships were designed to work, so now we have the blind leading the blind. Even more alarming, the blind have started calling good evil and evil good. … Continue reading Family Matters: Our best lessons are taught by example
Warhorn Media – When Bitterness Accompanies Infertility
I can’t tell you how often I am comforted by the stories of women in the bible who also struggled with infertility. I’m comforted by them because when I look at Hannah who was mistaken as a drunkard in her pleading to God for a child, I feel less crazy for feeling so sad.
