Ex-gays

Here is something I read on Facebook.  I have read the book mentioned and I recommend it.

Ex-gays

by Moira Greyland Peat

I am a child of gays and lesbians, and I have firsthand knowledge of gay “relationships,” polyamorous “relationships” and the absurdity which pretends to be “parenting” which results from all these tragic situations.

Rules

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Rules

by Zach Whitsel

My oldest child is only ten years old but I’m already beginning to see teenage style attitudes forming in her. She gives herself a lot of credit for how much she think she knows. While I admire her confidence, I have to make sure the knowledge she is leaning on is truth. Her and I got to have a pretty in-depth conversation on the way home from town tonight about the purpose behind my rules and my consequences. I explained to her that she may not like the boundaries but that the boundaries were for her own good. I hope that as a father I am a great example of the mercy and grace that our heavenly Father shows us. If I have learned one thing as a dad, though, it is that mercy and grace are not good excuses for disobedience.

Commercial surrogacy

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Commercial surrogacy

by Kaeley Triller Harms

Lengthy post ahead. I posted it as a FB note yesterday, but those things never get much traction, and the subject matter is important, though controversial. I don’t post this in condemnation but in caution:

Last year I sat in stunned silence at a WA State Senate hearing concerning the matter of commercial surrogacy. The proposed bill contained 55 pages of legislative text full of demands and bloviations about alleged parental rights. Its goal was to legalize commercial surrogacy without limit through the entire state.

Clear your cache

by Kaeley Triller Harms

It’s an official snow day here in Coeur d’ Alene, which means there is a LOT of snow on the ground.

It also means that my beautiful, precious, angelic children have been stuck inside with me all day as I struggle to keep them occupied long enough to get some of my work done. Netflix and Ramen have been heavily featured in this game plan. Don’t judge.

Emotional control

Here is something I read on Facebook.  It is addressed to women but it applies equally to men.

Emotional control

by Rachel Jankovic

🍃A Christian woman who is accustomed to dealing with her own emotions will be very difficult to control. She is not living in service of her own feelings or moods, and that makes it very hard to enslave her to those of another.

Stay at home parents

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Stay at home parents

by Abby Johnson: ProWoman, ProChild, ProLife

I want to take some time to affirm and commend stay at home parents.

I often get messages from stay at home moms that say, “What can I do to help the prolife movement? I feel like I need to do more.”

Choices

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Choices

by Abby Johnson: ProWoman, ProChild, ProLife

Everyone has been talking about Michelle Williams after the Golden Globes. I said a couple things on Twitter, but honestly have been trying to get my thoughts together. This is really a very small piece of my entire thought.

Friends

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Friends

by Rachel Jankovic

❄️We all know that there are friendships that last a lifetime, but we often overlook this reality.

❄️It is possible for godly friendships to come and go without anything being wrong or anyone sinning against anyone.

❄️I have many dear friends who were more heavily featured in chapters of my life where we were walking alongside each other. That is not a failed friendship, it was a gift. Friendship is not a possession that we can cling to.

Reformed and charismatic believers

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Reformed and charismatic believers

by Kaeley Triller Harms

Ok, Christians, let’s talk about the unspoken but very evident war between Reformed and charismatic believers.

As a self-declared Presbycostal, I find myself once again smack dab in the middle of two deeply conflicting perspectives with the unsolicited ability to see major pros and cons in either camp. This is as much a self-preach as anything, so forgive the bluntness in my following observations; I’m too often guilty of the errors and attitudes I’m about to name.

Friendship

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Friendship

by Rachel Jankovic

🦈The world is currently working really hard to get us all to behave like a bunch of hideous friendship loan sharks, constantly calculating what others are giving to us and sending them letters with OVERDUE!!! Stamped on them. Sometimes we send out our thugs to publicly shame them on the internet. 😂

Story time for the Christians-

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Story time for the Christians-

by Emily Thomes

Story time for the Christians-

Today I was at the nail salon getting this shellack removed. I tried to do it on my own, but I’m not skilled enough apparently. Anyway, I’m there listening to “Practical Religion” by Ryle and not talking to anyone and realize what a hypocrite I am. I’m filling my head and heart with scripture and beautiful truths of the faith literally surrounded by a group of people that are most likely Buddhists and are without hope unless they come to know Him. So, I press ‘pause’ on my earbuds and begin to think about how to begin a conversation about the Lord.

Leaving the abortion industry

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Leaving the abortion industry

by Abby Johnson: ProWoman, ProChild, ProLife

A few years ago, I received a call from an abortion clinic worker who wanted to leave her job. I spoke with her for a while. She talked about “evil” in the clinic. We talked about The Lord. She had grown up in church and wanted to reconnect with her faith. I went through the next steps, told her what we would need from her and what she could expect from us.

Blaming guns

Here is something I read on Facebook.  I have also included one of the comments that was made to this post.

Blaming guns

by Levi Smith

Here is a fact:
You are an utter fool if you think taking guns away will solve the violence problem.

I try not to be too pointed on here, but this calls for pointedness:

An innocent man got murdered on live stream in front of his friends today while exercising his religious freedom. Two years ago, a gunman murdered over 25 people at point blank range, including women and children.

Both of the gunmen were stopped by other men with guns.

Theological debates

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Theological debates

by Blaine Michael Seman

THE LOVE OF CHRIST OR THE LOVE OF WINNING THEOLOGICAL ARGUMENTS.

CHRISTIANS SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE.

I believe if Martyn Lloyd Jones were alive today and saw what goes on on facebook he would say..

” It is one thing to love to debate, it is quite another to love the one you are debating.”

Abuse

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Abuse

by Levi Smith

Recently, a well-known pastor was charged and arrested for abusing a minor. The storyline and reaction to this news brings a few thoughts to mind. Respectfully, Id like to share some of them…

Ectopic pregnancies

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Ectopic pregnancies

by Emily Thomes

“When I tell people that there is no medical reason for an abortion, people often bring up the issue of ectopic pregnancies. Even well meaning, concerned pro-life people bring this up. They don’t know how to answer it and for this reason may say they are “pro life with exceptions”. This is the loophole pro aborts need to push abortion on demand, without restrictions, and without apology. If we are to abolish the evil of abortion, we would do a service to ourselves to better understand what is (and is not) an ectopic and how it relates to abortion.

Grey

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Grey

by Kaeley Triller Harms

A few years back, I got into a playful argument with my brilliant best friend, the artist, when she insisted that, of all the stunning colors in God’s green earth, grey was her favorite.

“Grey??!” I repeated in bewildered incredulity. “Who picks grey when there’s cerulean and crimson or indigo to choose from?!”

Missing Jesus

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Missing Jesus

posted by Karen’s Country Kitchen

About a week before Christmas a family bought a new nativity scene. When they unpacked it they found 2 figures of the baby Jesus. “Someone must have packed this wrong,” the mother said, counting out the figures. “We have one Joseph, one Mary, three wise men, three shepherds, two lambs, a donkey, a cow, an angel and two babies. Oh, dear! I suppose some set down at the store is missing a baby Jesus because we have 2.”

Suicide Scolding

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Suicide Scolding

by Moira Greyland Peat

Suicide Scolding

My dear friends, I assure you that the scolding is primarily for me, lest you think this is to be a lecture.

Everyone who has gone through massive and repeated pain and loss has looked at their own life and wondered what it is all for, and if there is any value in continuing when pain seems so inevitable and endless.
