Top Charlie Kirk Debates That SHOOK Campuses This Spring 2025 👀🔥

How Evil Lives in the Political Left

My husband and I were taking a walk and discussing the horror of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. What he wanted me to know is that it really isn't a different opinion the left has. They are totally different people. Their is such vitriol and wickedness. We see it in the response of this hard working family man being brutally murdered, leaving a wife and 2 children behind. We can be assured Mr. Kirk is with Jesus. Sadly those he tried to witness to are dancing on his grave. The enemy is Satan. Let's pray for the lost. 

On the Third Day

In looking at the different ways Jews used the word "day" in preparation for teaching Genesis 1 and 2 for Sunday School, I came upon this article. It's a topic of interest because I believe Jesus was crucified on Friday, as most Christians do; yet I have been surprised to meet one or two people through my years who think it was a different day. Here's a great explanation hashing out the details! 

Why Did Jesus Mention "Three Days and Three Nights"

A Life of Service

My sweet sister asked if this was an off weekend for us, since they are rare. I happily told her,  Yes!, and listed what was on the agenda. 

It was work. Which could seem counterintuitive to some. But a life of service to the Lord means downtown involves the work we want to do and have to do, usually at home. I think of it as resetting for the week ahead. It is so relaxing to get all the things done so the "work week" runs more effectively. Tasks that have been on the list, things that make my home run most effectively for everyone...a few hours at night to do leisure activities is plenty. 

Of course, some weekends it is fun to get out and get away from the house. But that brings stress when things aren't in order at home or when there's been an awfully large amount of work during the week. It's something to think about and consider, whether it's a time to just say, "Forget the work, I need some fun!!" or to find that the work will bring more long lasting benefits. 

Let us work heartily as unto the Lord and not men while we're able. He brings the needed rest and increase!

Does God Still Care About His Enemies? The Good and the Beautiful

We've recently finished studying Judges in Sunday School, and I was able to teach a few times. It is always so good to get to teach because of how much more study is accomplished. It is clear in Judges that God took His enemies VERY seriously. In looking at Samson alone, the wickedness of the Philistines was not something that God trifled with. In our culture of accepting everyone and all beliefs as valid, I think we need to be careful not to add to the problem. What is it that causes God to withhold His blessings upon us? Do we all, who follow Him, get the same blessings irrespective of what we do? I'm not talking salvation issues, but day to day living in obedience, which brings more blessings to God's children.  Here's some questions to ask as you consider life choices. 

Is God truth? 

Are we the friends of God if we teach truth? 

Are Mormons teaching truth? 

Are Mormons the friends of God? 

Do people with money gain more influence over our culture? 

I think it is valid to consider how many Christians willingly add to the immense financial coffers of Mormons by using The Good and the Beautiful homeschool curriculum. The issue isn't merely if anything anti true Christianity is taught, but are we not helping normalize this false religion by defending and supporting this curriculum? Do Mormons have a prominent influence in our world?

Things to look at and consider for the follower of Christ.

I do not know the woman who wrote this blog post and all the reasons behind it, nor do I care. I do care about this curriculum being made more mainstream if it is Bible believing Christians helping do it.
