For Mr. Taylor that sentence came from R.C. Sproul: You are required to believe, to preach, and to teach what the Bible [...]

When I write I usually offend someone. *sigh* If I’m smart I’ll have my husband edit my posts before I publish. He can see all those tiny little “jabs” that I perhaps didn’t even intend as jabs. This morning I read a post on modesty that was so well written and unoffensive that I had [...]

When we first began exploring the world of homeschooling I was completely overwhelmed. I’ve heard the same thing countless times from parents considering it for their family. Where do one turn for easy to find information? Still Deciding Phase: Perspectives on Your Child’s Education: Four Views: Presents each person’s positive views of their education choice [...]

I pray I’m preaching to the choir on this one but it is a burden I’m carrying and must unload. Please, why is it that true Christians celebrate Easter using the easter bunny??? It makes no sense to me. Why on earth would someone who has made Christ the Lord of their life trivialize His [...]
