So many today misunderstand the public debate about the State’s involvement in marriage. Marriage is necessary institution, not just a relationship.

Marie and Greg discuss 5 tools identified by the Parrots to use during times of marital strife, stress, and difficulty.

Choosing a partner is about more than chemistry. Two uniting as one, the way scripture states, with the husband as the head of the household provides the more stable, long-lasting, more fulfilling relationship for everybody. This type of relationship invites a partnership where the woman will feel safe, valued, secure, and loved. In turn, she will respect her husband, and trust him to take of her and the children when things get bumpy. The groom, the husband, represents Christ. The 50-50 concept that’s floating around today, it’s a complete and utter fallacy. It’s sheer nonsense. It doesn’t work.

The Supreme Court has taken up the Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health Case in Mississippi. Could this be the case that overturns Roe vs. Wade?

Who has the ultimate authority to decide what our children learn in the classroom? The take-over of the parental authority to raise up children in the virtues of a quality education demonstrates that there is a radical disagreement about what those important values and virtues actually are. The modern debate is about what those values actually entail and in teaching about the fundamental issues of our culture.

As Christians, we have to decide: Are we going to be people who honor the teaching and moral directions of the Bible, the wisdom from God, or not? Who do we believe is the highest moral authority, God, or ourselves?

Equity is a destructive concept contrary to equality. Instead of striving to get everyone to the same starting point, it strives for everyone to have the same outcome, regardless of choices, effort, morals or attitude.

Canceling our differences rather than seeking to understand one another, help one another, or honor one another is wrong. It shuts down communication, it shuts doors to understanding, it further divides us, it honors no one, it levies restrictions and empowers a few through propaganda to enable a minority to control the majority by using shame and emotions. Hitler used it, Franklin Rosevelt used it. We need to push back.

Politics can’t save us. It’s only because of the power of Christ’s death on the cross that we have the strength to face the evil and chaos in our world. Easter is not political, but its message is what makes liberty and freedom truly possible. It’s a proclamation of what God did and is doing amidst the chaos of our world.

The COVID pandemic, with the assistance of social media, has brought out the worst in herd behavior, specifically shame. Previously a personal decision, healthcare choices are now becoming understood as social matters. Throngs of individuals are joining forces to shame others into conforming to quell their own fears and lack of control of the current situation. Such behavior leads to pressure, defensiveness, confusion, and isolation for many targeted individuals and seldom influences the intended behavior change. There are better ways to have conversations and see conversions in behavior.

The Biblical, moral view of life is being completely pushed out of our culture. If we allow the demonization of Christians to go unchallenged, the ability to disagree with civility, and freedom of speech and conscience is dead.

Today’s culture tells us that it’s acceptable, to covet, cheat, and take innocent life. How can Christians face this disaster? And do we have any power to overcome it? We need something much more than just optimism or wishful thinking.

Our society glorifies immoral behavior and tears down any who try to uphold traditional Christian morals. But no power can muzzle the truth of God’s word: not the government, not the president, not Google, Facebook or Twitter.

The world is a sinful and destructive place and our culture tells us we are victims, not responsible for our circumstances. This mindset is incredible harmful and destructive and is the opposite of how God wants us to see ourselves! How can we help our kids take ownership of their lives and fight the lie of victimhood with the truth of our victory in Christ?

The first day he was in office, Biden signed an executive order that claims to prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, but what it really does is discriminate against biological females. Title IX protections, meant to honor and protect girls are gone. Our girls’ dignity is at stake. We’re sacrificing them for the sake of another struggle and that, ethically, is wrong. Rather than give them the message that they matter, we’re delivering the message that they are less-than.

Life is God’s first gift to every person. The Pro-Life movement spreads the beautiful message that life is sacred. It stands to protect our right to live that sacred life each day to its fullest. Dignity and the sanctity of life are fundamental, foundational truths to a civil society.

We’re all sinful people, we all make mistakes, but we’re still called to be the best parents, and the best children, that we can be. Estrangement from those we love is a source of great pain. How do we heal from that pain and move toward reconciliation?

The country of tomorrow is being taught in the classroom today. We need to understand that there are people who want to tear our children away from what is Biblically right, wholesome, virtuous, and instill in them some radical view of what it means to be a human being today. We can not let that happen. The consequences are too great. Our kids are too precious to leave them to this fate.

Are Christians out of step with what’s going on in the world? Or do we view things from a different perspective? We know that what’s happening now is temporary and that God can and will use it for eternal good. How do we respond to what’s going on in the world with love, truth AND grace?

For many of us, reflecting on 2020 makes us feel frustrated, powerless, and overwhelmed with disappointments. What if you don’t have the energy or strength to look back, let alone look forward? Sometimes God allows our strength to be completely depleted so that we will rely on HIS strength.

If we truly believe that Christmas is about more than giving gifts, gathering with family, and twinkling lights, then no power on earth can keep THIS Christmas from being the BEST Christmas ever!

How much technology is too much? Technology has significantly altered our lives. When the very creators of smart-phones and social media platforms severely limit how much time their children spend on devices, it should raise a red flag. Studies show that too much screen time can be damaging, yet the average kid has a smart-phone starting at age 10.

As parents, it’s our responsibility to advocate for our children. But when the culture censors the church and Christian parents, we are stripped of our parental right to equip our children to know right from wrong. – Do not let your voice be silenced! Do NOT leave your kids vulnerable to the lies of this world.
