 Have you ever wondered how Jesus treated women, or what the New Testament says about child brides, or if science and religion go together? How many Christians died in Nazi concentration camps? Why were people upset about the Cracker Barrel changes? What really happened to the Boy Scouts? Here are a few recent articles about culture and current events. What Does the New Testament Teach About Child Brides? ~ Does the New Testament support the idea of child brides? ~ In recent years, debates have arisen surrounding biblical views on marriage, particularly in historical or cultural contexts. Proponents of Islam, whose prophet Mohammed married a six year old and consummated the marriage when she was nine, claim that Christianity supported child brides, often pointing to Mary or Old Testament women as proof. But does the Bible—specifically the New Testament—condones or permits the practice of marrying children?  Read more How Did Jesus Elevate Women? ~ The Teachings of Jesus change...

Conservatives, Christians, Trump Supporters & Others Move to New Social Networks USA.Life and Parler   If you are looking for a more balanced social media experience, USA.Life and Parler are free speech zones that don't censor conservative views just because they don't agree with them. These new platforms are also good for any businesses wanting to expand their social media networking capabilities. USA.Life is the alternative to Facebook, and Parler is the alternative to Twitter. Both avoid the biased censorship of conservatives that is so prevalent on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. As more and more conservatives become fed up with being told their viewpoint isn't valid and their news reports are "fake," many are making the switch to USA.Life and Parler for more freedom of expression.

A few thoughts on school shootings from a former teacher The Parkland, Florida, school shooting follows too quickly on the heels of other recent school shootings. As a teacher for many years you can imagine that I take school shootings close to heart. They break my heart as I can picture precious little faces I have loved and taught sitting in seats, feeling safe in their familiar school setting. On the other hand, as the daughter of a career military officer, I was brought up to have a healthy respect for guns.  Read full article at: Editorial: Parkland, Florida School Shooting--A Former Teacher's Perspective | Christian Activities Also see: Invest Your Loose Change Each Month with Acorns | Christian Activities Ask me about amazing clinical skincare products and start your way to clearer, healthier skin today!

I think this was much needed. I only wish I had beard about it before it was over! Two-hundred and thirty-two years ago yesterday, on January 16, 1786, the Virginia General Assembly passed the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom state law. This law continued the tradition of separation of church and state which ensured no citizen would be compelled to follow a state religion and was part of America's legacy of religious liberty.  Read the article about  Religious Freedom Day here:  Jan. 16, 2018 Named Religious Freedom Day by President Trump | Christian Activities Ask me about amazing clinical skincare products and start your way to clearer, healthier skin today!

"The Road Less Traveled" by Robert Frost has resonated with me since junior high. I have often taken the road less traveled in my life both figuratively and literally. Yesterday my hiking buddy Lisa and I literally took the road less traveled on the Hike for the Homeless opting for the longer walk even though she has a bad knee and I am having some issues with my hip. We both left feeling a bit whipped but exhilarated. The road less traveled will do that to you. Read my devotional at: Taking the Road Less Traveled -- Christian Activities
