Join us this Sunday as we unpack, or in this case as we peel back the layers of “The Onion”… were embracing, wresteling and discussing some “stinky” questions we get in life. Some that feel like they assult the very core of who we are in christ and our belief that indeed we have a [...]

This chapter was so on target for where we are in our culture. It is an interesting thing how culture affects our thought processes and worldview. But, most of us don’t give our culture much thought. It is amazing to see how the American culture has changed over the last hundred years. Shocking, really. If you can imagine it…the refrigerator wasn’t invented in 1909. The Titanic hadn’t sunk. The first world war hadn’t begun. That all happened less than one hundred years ago! Now, let’s see how the American culture has changed and much of it because of the waves of feminism that has affected our culture. This chapter deals with the third wave of feminism, “porn positive” feminism and its rise in the 1990’s.

During our Thursday night Bible studies, we have been going through the parables of Jesus. You might think, ho hum…heard ‘em a hundred times. Wow, have we been challenged by the simplicity, yet the depth of truth that Christ taught through storytelling. I’m sure we have but scratched the surface of His teaching – but, [...]

Mommy Wars – This chapter deals with how our society degrades motherhood. She said in the new economy (during the Industrial Revolution), work solely mattered if you could put a price on it. Around 1900, the census began to officially classify wives/mothers and daughters without paying jobs as “dependants”. Women were previously noted as families engaged in a particular enterprise. Interesting, huh? If you aren’t bringing home the bacon, then you have no real worth. Now, what is truly interesting to me about this, is this is not the CHURCH saying women do not have worth…but our “liberated culture”. To me, if I was FOR WOMEN’S RIGHTS, I would be FOR anything women want to do with their lives. They are free to make their own choices. But, no, they aren’t for what YOU want…they are for what THEY want for your life. Got it? :) Really, what the feminist agenda is going after is an anti-God society.

“Though the marketplace does not value the home beyond what goods can be purchased for it, the ministry to be found there is of immense worth to the Lord. The stability of the family relationships, the care of elderly or disabled family members, the discipling and training of children, the warm reception of guests, the making of a lifetime of memories, the daily modeling of biblical instruction, the fresh nourishment in an age of processed foods that contribute to our general ill health, the joy of a Christ-centered marriage – all of these things have long-lasting, if not eternal, effects.”
