“Look at what God says in 2 Peter 1:5-8:
For this very reason, make every [...]

Does Your Child’s Cellphone Preach Another Gospel – by Russell Moore
Posted in Children's Ministry, Culture, Family, Homeschooling, Worldviews on February 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Dr. Russell Moore has some interesting (convicting?) thoughts on unrestricted and unmonitored cellphone usage among our children. Like virtually everything he writes, it is worth the time to read. Here is an excerpt…
“The formation and discipline of children, after all, is built on the pattern of God’s fatherly discipline of his people (Heb 12:3-11), [...]
Church Growth Amish Style

Dr. Gene Veith recently posted some interesting facts about growth among the Amish (they have grown 84% since 1992.)

1) Promotion of the trivial.
2) Illegitimate extrapolation.
3) Reading between the lines.
4) Missing important nuance.
5) Focus on people rather than God.
Are we [...]

Brian Sandifer… a fellow homeschool parent… recently posted on how “Homeschooling is Not the Gospel.” Here is an excerpt from his post…
