Premise: We are living in times that are increasingly anti- Christian. We are living in times that are increasingly anti-traditional Western society. We see violence and political movements seeking to undo Christianity, traditional/biblical patriarchy, the heterosexual nuclear family, and...

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53424290 Many of us have pondered the implications of the devaluing of large families, even in the church. The common thought was that it was a Japan and Western Europe issue. This latest BBC article says otherwise. It's now a global problem. Some interesting...

Much has been written here about the political undercurrent (Marxist, etc.) of the recent wave of protests, statue removals and rioting. As I delve deeper into this stuff, I think that what we are also seeing is the contrast of the male and female approach to conflict and controversy. The...

https://www.history.com/news/nikola-tesla-files-declassified-fbi I stumbled upon this information recently. Seems as though the president is not necessarily a complete outsider with no connections to government. His uncle was apparently a pretty powerful player with ties to the FBI. I'm...

This would be an amazing activity format for a retreat. It could be called "3 or More Is Still a Family". Have fun.

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/im-strong-woman-need-strong-man-side-ciara-praises-husband-russell-wilson-185424270.html I'm not much into pop culture, but I do know Super Bowl champ Russell Wilson. Seems his strong woman still wants a strong man. Seems as though they are believers too...

I have zero time to comment, but this article was recommended to me and it's scary. Love to see comments. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/state/north-carolina/article210597659.html

Mystical figure? Christophany? Model priest? Where was he trained? Who trained him? Post your thoughts on this vital, yet often overlooked character in the O.T.

If he is stepping down for a relationship with a dude, or another man's wife, I get it and this is totally necessary. But, If it's an unmarried woman, and the rest of Christians would approach relationships biblically, we wouldn't have to put this man through this torture...

Any research you have found that sounds reasonable? I've heard Egypt, Sinai and India. Opinions?

Help me out here. I'm trying to figure out where the outrage is. This is a nuclear family, living off the land, so to speak, and leaving others alone. Neighbors say the kids seem normal, and friendly. No electricity? No running water? No sewage? Heavens! Next thing you know, they will be...

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/upshot/american-fertility-is-falling-short-of-what-women-want.html What women say they want and what they will actually have is not very close now. We are way below replacement rates.

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I will put it here. At work today, I was talking with two coworkers. Both are believers. One asked me if my wife and I were planning to have more children. I told him that for various reasons, my wife's factory had been shut down. I then joked and added...

I can't figure out where else to put this post, so I guess the marriage section is most appropriate (mods, feel free to move). Many of us know this famous portion of scripture from Jeremiah: 11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil...
