Roll The Dice, Raise Your Kids
A popular idea among Christian parents whose children have gone off the rails is that children go off the rails because parents are unlucky. According to legend, there are vast numbers of ‘good’ parents who raise their children to value honesty, integrity, self-sacrifice, generosity, and kindness but bad luck causes those children to rebel against […]

Radical Rumblings
If you’ve ever needed proof that progressives and pagans occupy the same muddled headspace, here are some radical rumblings from a religious renegade: “States rushing to enact anti-abortion legislation are not exactly pushing to legislate on behalf of the pregnant women nor are they rushing to provide safety net programs when a child is born. […]
The Right Kind of Help
(Written By Oswald Chambers) Very few of us have any understanding of the reason why Jesus Christ died. If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not “a little bit of love,” but major […]
Lunchboxes Over Children

Rally To End Algebra
When I was in school, Algebra was alien hieroglyphics to me. It was an incomprehensible stream of symbols and numerals. There was a hamster in the science classroom name, “Vince” and he possessed the same math skills as me. No matter how many examples were shown in the book, I couldn’t make any sense of […]
