Evil very seldom presents itself in the form of a forked tail and pitchfork; instead, it is usually wrapped in charm, nice personalities, or empty verbal professions. This is becoming especially true in today's culture. Thus, it is vitally important to discern when there's danger and expose the evil behind such motives or words. How can we help our children do this? Steve Vaughan and Bill Jack address this question and discuss the importance of having our children trained by Christ and conformed to His image.

Does your daughter know the derivative of a cosine? Does she know how the pinocytic vesicle functions in the Amoeba? Does she know who Rome fought in the Punic was? Can she parse just about any Latin verb? And, does she know how to integrate knowledge into life? Most educated children have no idea how to solve problems, how to manage households, how to engage life and contribute to an economy. That is because most education sadly lacks the life integrative element. We provide some practical guidelines here for incorporating the life integration element in your children’s education.

Are young men looking for debt-free virgins without tattoos to marry? Or do they prefer college educated women who will work for a living and take birth control, so that the young men can keep playing video games? We look at two different articles that take a different angle at this question. Would it be better to marry a repentant prostitute who is at the feet of Christ washing His feet with her tears, over against some homeschooled girl who is a debt-free virgin without a tattoo, but unconverted? We discuss the consequences of sin, the problem of debt, the question of college for our daughters, but land on the Gospel as the most important message for our day.

States are mandating comprehensive sex education in perversions for all charter schools and government-funded homeschool programs. When homeschooling parents take the government dollars they subject their children to these mandates.It’s time to realize that what Caesar funds, Caesar will control. About 92% of evangelical kids are still in public schools, while 9 states mandate pro-homosexual teaching for 5-18 year old kids. At what point should Christian churches excommunicate parents who willfully submit their children to transgender and homosexual indoctrination? Are there real Christian churches that are concerned about the little lambs in their congregations, and what should godly pastors do? Finally, some Christians are realizing that education is not neutral, and it is time to insist on a distinctively Christian education and discipleship for our children.

Lady Gaga and Ocascio-Cortez see themselves as good Christians, better Christians than Vice President Mike Pence. Increasingly, media and political debates are centering around who is the “better Christian” — the tolerant ones or the intolerant ones of stuff like killing children and homosexual perversions. We interact with Lady Gaga’s Facebook post with Becky Roach. But, the real question we grapple with is this: “Are true Christians against abortion and homosexuality?” Or is that another superficial, practically meaningless reduction?

Virginia’s Governor Ralph Northam lost his political support from his own party, because somebody put the wrong picture, a bad picture, on his yearbook page in 1986. Never mind his support of infanticidal negligence. Never mind his failure to fear God. But, what brings these leaders down? What is the more fundamental problem? Meantime, the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities explain why they would persecute Christian businesses by their support of homosexuality. But, the more fundamental problem was a failure to fear God.

Where materialistic evolution most trips and falls on its face is when it confronts the origins of man and the ontology of man. What is man? How is he different from the other sentient life? How did he come to be so different? What is this sense of righteousness and morality about him? Dr. Edgar Andrews engages this topic with more thoughtfulness and down-to-earth argumentation than anything you’ve ever heard before. Richard Dawkins called Dr. Andrews a “wing nut,” but what is the more rational approach to understanding the rational mind and person of man? After listening to this, you will conclude that it is materialistic evolutionary theories that fail to interact with the data rationally.
