The more that I consider this quote from Voddie Baucham, the more I am amazed at his unfounded claim regarding my apologetics workshop, “The Development and Practice of Patriarchy: Cure for Cultural Decline or New Gnostic Disease,” that I presented in early March, 2008. This, coupled with the release of Family Driven Faith, and planting Grace Family Baptist Church, set off a chain of SBC events that would culminate in the SBTC Youth Ministry Forum, and (some would argue) the recent “Patriarchy”

I watched this clip of The View last night - because I wanted to hear Joy Baher's comment that homeschooling creates demented kids. It's around the seven minute mark, but not knowing that, I watched the first part with Barack and Michelle Obama as well. He's very good at making prepared answers seem spontaneous - and he had some funny comments about his mother-in-law. But back to the homeschooling comment... it was timely because in the past several weeks I have met several homeshooling fami

By Eric Rauch—11/20/2008 As a follow-up to last week’s article, I wanted to stress the point that Christians constantly seem to miss in their quest for cultural change and significance. As I discussed last week, and as has been continuously taught by American Vision for thirty years, societal change on the grand scale cannot happen without change first coming to individuals, families, churches, and communities. This may seem absurdly obvious at first glance, but too often I think Christians are

Even though I now travel with a entourage of snotty kleenex balls clustered about my feet, a netty pot hanging out of my back pocket while hooked up to an airborne drip, I am boarding a plane in a matter of hours to fly south high above the eastern seaboard to our Sunshine State. Me. Alone. This is a milestone event in our house, only the third overnight trip for me, solo, in the last almost eight years, and the longest one yet; I'll be gone for three nights. As I was putting Fluffy

Our family likes to use hands-on activities to enhance our learning. Some of our favorite activities are: Building maps. From salt dough maps to edible maps made from cookie dough, seeing the topography of a continent, country or state really makes your studies come alive and provides an excellent visual aid for exploring geography. Creating games. Bingo, matching, and Go Fish are all games that lend themselves easily to almost any topic. Tying a magnet to a dowel rod with twine makes a simp

ODonnellWeb regular JJ wrote a guest post at Parenting Beyond Belief. The subject, not surprisingly, is secular homeschoolers. ODonnellWeb gets a shout out, as does many of the other usual suspects.

Rawls and an anti-abortion argument. One man and a prediction. Some links. The “new” Insight dashboard … I have to say on the old Insight (and I hear on the Prius as well) the instantaneous mileage feedback’s ability to optimize one’s driving habits does as much if not more for mileage than the technology in the car. A collapse. Afghan news. Is outrage? A plug for the homeschooling crowd? Adult stem cells. The non-primacy of the desert. Meditation and the Christian life (here too) … ah, try hes

Concerned about the number of overweight people in Oklahoma, a Democrat lawmaker wants every student sixteen years and younger to be weighed, measured, and their BMI calculated - including homeschool kids. Students in public schools would be checked during the school year. Arrangements would be made for homeschooled students also to be screened, Morrissette said. However, if parents don't work
