A Promise Kept
Posted in Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, Family, Personal growth, tagged A Promise Kept, Alzheimers, Robertson McQuilkin on October 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday I closed the service retelling a little bit of the story of Robertson McQuilkin and his care for his wife Muriel as she dealt with Alzheimers for many years. It is a sad but encouraging story for couples, especially in encouraging couples to love in sickness and in health. You can watch the story [...]
Give Them Dinnertime
Posted in Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, Family on June 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
What are you giving your kids at dinnertime? I am not talking about food, well not physical food, but spiritual food. Dennis and Barbara Rainey, in their devotional book Moments With You, write about the importance of dinnertime. She rises also while it is still night and gives food to her household. Proverbs 31:15 RV [...]
Father and Son
Posted in Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, Family, tagged Fathers, Schreiner on April 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is a wonderful testimonial from Patrick Schreiner, Tom Schriener’s son. I had Tom at Bethel Seminary. He came to speak at a family camp for our church. He replies when I email him questions. He is a professor, author, scholar, but just an ordinary guy. I particularly enjoyed this story that Patrick included about [...]
Boy Wanted

I haven’t referred to the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood or their website lately, but I appreciate their work. I was reading a Q & A on raising sons and daughters (which was good and helpful) and happened upon this “want ad” quoted from the early part of this century. Some of the language [...]
Newsweek biblical about homosexuality?
Posted in Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, Biblical Studies, contemporary culture, tagged Bible, homosexuality on December 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Apparently Newsweek has given us a biblical statement concerning the rightness of homosexuality. But even the first paragraph proves the amateurishness of the article. I include it below so that you can guess the perspective from which the author comes: Let’s try for a minute to take the religious conservatives at their word and define [...]

In two posts on the subject, Does Sarah Palin present a Dilemna for Complementarians, part 1 and part 2, at Gender Blog, David Kotter succinctly addresses some of the questions over which I needed clarification. Kotter begins the blog by saying, The role of Gender Blog is not to provide a voter’s guide, but to [...]
Women in Political Leadership, part 1
Posted in Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, contemporary culture, tagged journalism, leadership, Sarah Palin, women on September 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Sarah Palin has raised a question for complementarians such as me: what does the Bible say about women in leadership outside the church and home? Gender Blog gives a good summation of thoughts on this issue. The Bible calls women to specific roles in the church and home, but does not prohibit them from exercising [...]
Palin and Motherhood

Al Mohler has an insightful and thoughtful blog today on Sarah Palin, motherhood, her daughter’s pregnancy, and the ramifications of a young mom in office. Mohler writes this: I was asked about this on Friday in an interview with Stephanie Simon of The Wall Street Journal. As that paper reported: So Ms. Palin’s decision to [...]

One of the blogs I have on my Sage feed of blogs is Manspeak, which promotes biblical manhood. Today they have a great post on the connection between laughter and humility, along with a youtube soundbite that is very funny!
