Voddie Baucham, Jr., author of “Family Driven Faith,” noted children spend about 14,000 hours in public schools.
“Whoever controls those 14,000 hours controls our children’s worldview,” he said, citing Charles Francis Potter, a signer of the Humanist Manifesto. He wrote, “What can theistic Sunday school meeting for an hour once [...]

Children’s Clothing and Their Character
January 1, 2009
Moore To The Point has a guest post about clothing, children and the attitudes involved. It is very thought provoking.

The jeans that are long enough for Hannah’s ever-lengthening legs seem to have gained this extra length by trimming too many inches off the top. The sweatpants that fit her [...]
C.S. Lewis - What Shall We Think of Him?
December 16, 2008
Many people quote C.S. Lewis and I have learned much from reading his materials and books, such as Mere Christianity. However, I greatly disagree with much of his material.

Homeschool Game

This game of physics is a very educational yet fun game, especially for those engineering types. This will help you learn about momentum, levers, and shapes. Don’t blame me if the adults spend as much time as the kids playing.
I recommend turning the sound off.
Here’s the game Magic Pen - game of skill and thought [...]
Youth-Leader-as-Savior
December 5, 2008
Mike Yaconelli as quoted by Voddie Baucham in the his book Family Driven Faith.
The youth-leader-as-savior approach, extrapolated from parachurch ministries like Young Life and Youth For Christ has generally been destructive for all concerned. Alone and segregated from the church community, youth ministers are soon exhausted. … teenagers often accept the youth minister as their [...]
