The Tree Outside My Window

On The Hunger Games And Riding The Next Big Wave
There are plenty of potential land mines out there when it comes to books we can read, movies we can watch, shows we can turn on, and songs we can listen to. Even so, I'm less interested in placing these pop culture phenomena into the categories of "good" and "bad" on this blog and more interested in helping you squeeze everything the culture throws at you through the grid of God's Word.

My Annoying Younger Sister . . . And The Evil Ogre Sister!

Too Young To Tithe?
Whether you make a little money or a lot, the Bible urges us as Christians to give back a portion of all of the money we make. But parting with it can be tough, especially if you don't have a steady job or hefty income. And yet the Bible gives us lots of reasons to tithe, regardless of our age range or income bracket.

Two Sumo Wrestlers
I think a lot of Christians are like me and my GMC Envoy. We make all the right stops for fuel—church, Christian school, volunteering—but we don’t really get spiritually filled up . . .

A Beautiful Love Story
"He first saw her at one of my Pure Freedom purity retreats for teen guys and girls. I guess you could say it was love at first sight. Before he met her, he loved her.

I Wouldn't Have Chosen This, But ...
No one likes to go through hard times, rough patches, or difficult circumstances. None of us would choose pain, suffering, rejection, or loss. But ... God is in the business of taking those things that we would never choose and turning them into something for our good.

The Golden Rule Is Tarnished
We want friends, but we don't know where to find them. We have friends, but we don't know how to really connect. We lose friends, and it's hard to understand why. It's enough to make a girl want to throw in the towel and give up on friendships all together.

(Wo)Men At Work
On Tuesday I encouraged you to seek out a mentor who is a great wife and mom. So many of you expressed your desire to live out your unique calling as women in this way. But connecting the dots between wanting to be a true woman and knowing how can be tough, right?
