Evening round up

My friends the Brown family at Ketocton Baptists have provided a thought provoking read on feminism from a rather un-American standpoint.
You see Mrs. Brown is Romanian by birth and grew up in a socialist society.
From the post:
Socialist governments want women in the work force as much as men and the family is a tool of [...]

More thoughts on the Mcdonald’s boycott

I see the push to normalize homosexual behavior in our culture as the leading front (or one of them) in the cuture wars. It’s at the heart of the attack against the Biblical family, and is being used to chip away, in our culture, at the fundamental social unit in society - the family - but chipping away at the preceived differences between the genders and their roles.

More on the Sanctity of life.

My good friend Doug Phillips has posted an article from Dan Becker of the Georgia Right to Life. In it Mr. Becker quotes the Association of Pro-life Physicians.   I found the following exerpt to be helpful:

“It is only ethical to remove the tubal pregnancy if spontaneous resolution does not occur after watchful waiting and if [...]

Ectopic pregnancy and the sanctity of life

As Christians, we are unabashedly, 100% pro-life. We believe that life begins at conception; that every human life is created in the image of God; and that abortion is wrong in every case. This is where we differ from many other “pro-lifers” who are willing to grant that abortion may be merited in [...]

Disclaimers

If you enjoyed my recent post on family planning, thank you.  It’s encouraging to have brothers and sisters standing beside us when we take a stance that flies in the face of worldly wisdom.
If, however, you were seeing red by the time you got to the end of the post, you might benefit from MamaArcher’s [...]

Marx’s feminism

Cultural Marxism [footnote]The goal of Marx’s feminism was to Marxize the thinking of women, then men, then the entire culture. Notice how women were first on their list? Recall that Satan targeted a woman first, too. God’s enemies have recognized that women are not only the weaker vessels, and consequently more easily [...]

Patriarchy is not a bad word

From Wikipedia:
Patriarchy describes the structuring of society on the basis of family units, in which fathers have primary responsibility for the welfare of these units. In some cultures slaves were included as part of such households. The concept of patriarchy is often used, by extension, to refer to the expectation that men take primary responsibility [...]

So Much More

The Botkins are a lovely family and we are very like-minded in many ways. As a result, I quickly skimmed So Much More and decided that I already knew and agreed with what I would find inside.
I set it back on the shelf and recommended it heartily without even having read the entire book. [...]

Blanket training revisited

I’ve noticed that my Blanket Training from long ago still gets quite a few hits from the search engines. There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about the whole idea of teaching a baby to stay put.
Although I’ve not yet taught The Boy to do this, I am tempted just so that I [...]

Once more into the educational fray

A couple of clarifications on my earlier posts on education here and here:
1.) I have been addressing Christians living in America, where homeschooling legal. If it is illegal where you live, you have my prayers in the difficult decision you face.
2.) I was operating under the assumption that we all realize there can be no [...]

Challies on educational methods

The enemies of God see clearly that education is a means to an end. It is not neutral. Throughout history, they have unabashedly used educational systems in their attempts to steal the hearts of the next generation.
When an opponent declares, “I will not come over to your side, I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs [...]

Homeschool Q & A

I recently received a question in my inbox. Since I took the time to type up an answer and since it’s not the first time I have received questions like this, I’m taking the liberty of cc’ing the World Wide Web on my answer.
To the asker: I hope you don’t mind. Just for the record, [...]

Timing, tact, and a call to repentance

My line about making sad eyes at each other has been quoted more than once. Here is a more complete context of the line:
“Don’t go to these links expecting to read soft words of sorrow and sympathy. We all mourn the victims and the wickedness that was done, but standing about making sad eyes [...]

The problem of evil and Viriginia Tech

read HomemakerAng’s comment on a previous post here.
My reply:
God brings judgment upon the nations in many forms. One way is in the depravity of the people.

Psa 81:11-12 “But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to [...]

Romance novels

My husband and I were discussing romance novels the other day, and I have to say that I have always thought of romance novels as p*rn for women. While men often have a weakness toward straying visually, I think that emotional straying is a weakness common to women. Romance novels fit the bill. [...]
