God Has a Plan for Your Homeschool

I love teaching my children. I like reading to them, talking to them, asking questions, seeing things from their viewpoint, watching them discover. There was I time I didn’t love homeschooling–because I was swimming in fear and worry. But the years have passed and God has proven to me that He is sufficient and I [...]

A Christian’s View of the Twilight Series

I assumed even baby Christian had enough discernment to stay away from books and movies full of lust and witchcraft, titled “Horror Romance” in the bookstore–then my boys ages 9 and 11 came home from Sunday school with stories of the Youth group kids raving about the Twilight books.

Behold the Man!

Jesus’ apostles and Jewish disciples came to know him first as a Rabbi and only later as the risen Savior. For second-generation and subsequent believers, however, the process was reversed. First they encountered in faith the risen and reigning Son of God, and only later – if at all – did they come to learn in any depth about the man, Yeshua MiNatzeret (Jesus of Nazareth).
