John Y, take note. We should be praying for God to do His will knowing we are in no way better than our fellow man, save the blood of Christ that HE shed for us, the faith HE imparts and the righteousness we receive FROM Him - through no work of our own LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST. Humility in speech is winsome and of great benefit to the kingdom of God. Your words show you to possess neither of those.

Psalms 119:18, 29, 37, 59, 60, 68 HCSB

Our little guy is all but little and never stay's in one spot! And sometimes he's "played with" too much by the two-year old! We're all well & keeping our noses to the path God's leading us on! Busy, busy season of life - as you we'll know!

SF - praying all is well with you! Lovin' that "semi-new" baby? All's well with her? When I read this sisters story, however long it's been, I thought of what I would do in her place... May God grant us all the strength to serve Him first and foremost at any and all costs! My loves goes out to you and your family!

Christopher, this busy season in my life has had me refocus all of my attention on home life, as it should be, but I wanted to let ya know we keep you and many others here in our prayers!

The curtain has been pulled back - Christians parents, God is good, holy and righteous! What does a Christian have anything to do with the government education system? I keeping thinking of the verse "It is said: Do not test the Lord your God.” (Luke 4:12 HCSB). God is obviously handing them over to depraved minds; we should be as far from it as humanly possible.

You are quite right that if this was talking about actual hair as the covering then any man with a shred of hair on his head is in direct defiance of God's will. Yet, it is true, a woman's hair is given to her as her glory - which is EXACTLY why it is to be covered during corporate worship: it is her outward acknowledgment that she accepts God's hierarchy, the one Eve tried to usurp, and gives God all due respect. It also beautifully functions to let my husband know I respect him and the position God has entrusted to him. "But if anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other custom, nor do the churches of God. (1 Corinth 11:16). This verse simply means that this is the end of the discussion. Paul has spent 16 verses explaining himself and leaves it as the final word. Hope this might help!

Catch that? "requires parents to accept controversial materials..." At what point does the prey realize it has been caught and is being devoured?

Anne, of course you are right!

penny, you've said it before and now we see, so very quickly, the fruit of this rotten tree producing exactly what we all expected!

Moreover, WHY do parents send their kids to places where the parent obviously has zero control over what their kids see/read/do?! The parent cows to the school board eventually as if they "just have no other choice". Indoctrination from a government entity - call it what it is.

"Be serious! Be alert! Your adversary the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him and be firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world." (1 Peter 5:8-9)

The rain has fallen on my dear friends but I know their faith in a greater God is carrying them through this time of immense loss and grief. Let it be said of us then, "Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep." (Rom.12:15) for "Those who mourn are blessed, for they will be comforted." (Matt. 5:4)

Take heart, take hope, He is mighty to save!

Couldn't help but think of Hillary and her "glimps" of "Christian faith" when I read this!
