This weekend we camped with this amazing group of people. Different families, different ages, different churches, different denominations, but one in Christ. Behold how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity. It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down…
Memorization is something that I’m passionate about and something that I think is sorely neglected in today’s society. Memorization is an important part of our home school and one of our children’s first subjects. We work on memorization 5 days a week (except when we get lazy and skip for weeks months at a time, ugh) and…
The family today is in a state of crisis like never before and sadly we don’t have to look beyond our own four walls to see the results. Most of us have two incomes but we’re deeply in debt. … We consider it normal for our children to be best friends with their peers and…
Many of you asked to see our list of ‘personal’ or ‘character’ books for the children. These are books that aren’t part of our ‘history’ or ‘science’ readings. These are biographies, historic accounts of brave deeds and the sovereignty of God and encouragement for becoming the young men and women God would have them to…

This is where Kim offers some…
With this recent talk about churches and family integration I wanted to share with you this beautiful picture of Christian community. It’s something that we’ve seen and been blessed to be part of in the past. It is the vision of what we want to be part of once more: “What is a Missional Community?”…

Last week I posted ‘Is Modern Youth Ministry Multiplying or Dividing the Church?‘ I want to clarify one point on this topic and that is that, while it is a beautiful blessing to be part of a family-integrated church, family-integration is not the be-all and end-all of a church. Apostate churches can be family-integrated and…
We’ve talked about it before, whose standard we are going to use to rule our lives. Am I going to seek to bring every thought captive to Christ as He is revealed in the Scripture or am I going to run my life the way I want and occasionally make sure I’m not violating anything directly forbidden in…
