Take Your Time: Step Knowledgably into Marriage
February 3, 2011 By 2 Comments
Love at first sight may seem to work out perfectly in novels and film, but rarely are first impressions true or lasting. Along with this myth comes the illusion that family background, religious orientation, and lifetime experiences are of little-to-no importance when it comes to committing to lifelong marriage. Young people smitten by the love bug believe the age-old lies that love will … [Read more...]
Looking for a few Good Men
January 29, 2011 By 3 Comments
That’s the lament of many single Christian women as they survey prospects for a godly husband, one willing and capable of leading them. These are no ordinary women. They have been raised to be dedicated Christians who look to the law-word of God as their standard for femininity. They embrace their chastity as a deliberate decision of obedience; and they understand that God’s Word informs … [Read more...]

The Day Salvation was Born
December 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment
In looking back on my childhood, I remember the Christmas gifts that disappointed me, rather than the Christmas gifts that made me happy. Two instances stand out in my mind. But first let me give you some context. I was raised right outside New York City. I was the third of four children, and my father was a physician-a general practitioner-who still made house calls. My mother used to … [Read more...]
Schooling Vs. Education
December 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment
In the computer age, with a myriad of choices for higher education, it is counterproductive to subject homeschool graduates to the “industrial model” of bureaucratic schooling, which churns out assembly-line products. Those who learned in a homeschooling setting were not spoon-fed and subjected to a one-size fits all approach to learning. To begin this approach when they reach the age of … [Read more...]
Why Write
December 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I am repeatedly asked for my advice regarding how to teach writing to grammar school-age children. Not only have I taught my own children how to write, but I have taught in co-op settings and privately tutored other homeschooled students. To fully answer the question, I will begin by repeating my opening remarks to each class or initial one-on-one tutoring session I've ever taught. Here … [Read more...]

After hearing the expression one too many times recently, “Think globally; act locally,” I realized that I needed to formulate my own expression on biblically solid ground. Therefore, I am now launching my new initiative: Think biblically; Act lawfully.* The modern environmental mantra posits a world that needs programs and policies to protect the earth, often at the expense of good … [Read more...]

Holding Down the Fort
December 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment
It is easy to miss an important, though under appreciated, aspect of the role of a woman in the management of her household. The stay-at-home woman, be she a wife, mother, or daughter, has as a central focus: the well-being of her family members. Is there enough food in the refrigerator or the pantry? Is the laundry done and the dry cleaning picked up? What about overseeing the … [Read more...]
