Satisfaction Through Christ

Remembering Mandy Kelly from Worshipful Living

Tuesday, March 21, started like any other day around our house. I got the kids off to school and came home to do some work. Around 9:30 a member of our Facebook Mastermind Group (a group of about 10 Christian women bloggers that support one another through blogging and life) posted that she'd seen some chatter on Mandy's Facebook profile and wanted to see how we could pray for her. It wasn't 20 minutes later that we all realized what was going on... Mandy, her husband Scott, and their … {Read More}

Homemade Catechism: 11 Scriptures for Real Life Parenting Situations

Catechism isn't as widely used as it once was, which I think is a real shame. It's a way of teaching doctrine and Scripture to children in a brief question and answer format. The child memorizes the answers and repeats them back to the teacher or parent when asked. Perhaps you've heard this question and answer before: What is the chief end of man?

It's not something that leaves us feeling grateful, at least not until the other … {Read More}

Grace & Truth {Week 36}

But I'm back and have promised my friends that I'll be more present here! And because I've been gone so long it's given me some time to really focus on the intent of STC, what our purpose is here, and how we use this … {Read More}

Building on the Rock

I recently wrote a post challenging the notion of so-called "pro-choice Christians." I was dismayed by one Facebook response to that post. It involved a casual, "This doesn't change my mind." Followed by a *shrug*. I think it was the shrug that hurt the most. Not because I was personally acquainted with this woman. I wasn't. And not because her comment was particularly … {Read More}

The Case for Faith: Objection #4

As noted in my previous article, I will be detailing important points from each chapter of Lee Strobel’s book, The Case for Faith, in subsequent articles. These articles, by nature, are going to be a bit longer, so I’d grab a snack and some coffee or tea and get ready for some mental exercise! OBJECTION #4: God Isn't Worthy of Worship If He Kills Innocent Children Lee Strobel continues … {Read More}
