“To control the future requires the control of education and of the child. Hence, for Christians to tolerate statist education, or to allow their children to be trained thereby, means to renounce power in society, to renounce their children, and to deny Christ’s Lordship over all of life.” ~ R. J. Rushdoony As the school …
It’s mid-August and the back to school ads and displays have been going strong for well over a month. In the state where I live, schools are already in session, so the “back to school” bombardment is winding down. It is always a bit sad when the daytime hours are devoid of children. There is …
When people do not think Biblically, they will end up thinking in other ways. These other ways may sound good and have some short-term benefits, but if they do not conform to the ways of the Lord, they will ultimately fail. I’m not sure how long it will take human beings to learn this, but …
A Kingdom-driven family is one with parents who teach their children that the Bible applies to every area of life and thought. Just as in the parable of the sower, seed sown on fertile ground brings an increase in the lives of young people. One mother of such a family sent me an email that …
When a child is brutally raped and murdered, our society is outraged. Well, sometimes. When women are trafficked for profit in the sex industry, there are those who in outrage call for immediate action. Well, sometimes.

I learned from the fine print that the shipping …
Driving would be a treacherous activity if we could not see what was behind us. Looking ahead is important and decidedly easier because we have eyes in the front of our head. Despite what some children believe about their mothers, human beings were not graced with visual sight from behind. That is the reason driving …
In a world that measures success in terms of a financial bottom line or in the acquisition of political power, you don’t hear much said about duty. In the end, the only thing that will matter when we come face-to-face with our Creator is whether we were found faithful in what He calls us to …
I first heard of Sam Blumenfeld in the mid-eighties soon after meeting Dr. Rushdoony. We had donated a car to Chalcedon. As part of his thank-you to us, Rush gifted us with books. Since he knew we were already homeschooling, Sam Blumenfeld’s books were among those we received. I read his book NEA: Trojan Horse …
Jesus commanded us to let our light shine before men so that they would see our good works and glorify His and our Father in heaven. There are many ways to do this, but today I had an unexpected opportunity to obey this command. The Lord’s orchestration of events was unquestionably evident. I did not …
