    A Call to Action: Christians supporting covenants, life, and family.

    September 28, 2022 / 2 Comments

    Abortion isn’t just a right-to-life issue. The act of abortion results from a series of acts of rebellion against God’s commandments, including how as a society, approach sex and marriage, how we view creation, and the way we support family, both nuclear and church families. Again, there are more reasons, but these are just a few that rise to the top as critical. Sex and Marriage I doubt I need to produce evidence of the increase in premarital sex, living together before marriage, or even choosing to partner but not marrying in our society. I’m a part of this statistic. I have had premarital sex, and I have lived with…

    A Christian Perspective on Abortion

    September 21, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Introduction When I approached my sisters about writing a response to the current abortion debate, we were all a bit hesitant. Our mission at Rhubarb and Rubbish isn’t political, not even close. However, the more we discussed it, the more we felt we needed to put it out in the world. First and foremost, abortion is a biblical issue, as it deals with life, creation, and our connection to others. Second, all three of us have experienced harassment over our pro-life views at one time or another. Third, all three of us have recognized that in most cases that harassment stemmed from a lack of understanding of why we hold…

    Mourning and Celebrating at the Same Time: A Paradox of Faith

    September 14, 2022 / 0 Comments

    It is September, which means we are moving into fall schedules or readjusting to them. School, church activitiees, and holiday planning are here or else on the near horizon. I love fall. The cooler temperatures, the beauty of the changing leaves, the smell of crisp morning air, and the anticipation of cuddling by the fire. I celebrate all of these things. But, I also mourn. I mourn the loss of the daylight sun. I mourn the loss of time outdoors and the energy that comes from it. I mourn the loss of freedom for the children, as they move indoors and behind desks. I am reminded today, as I write,…

    September Devotional

    September 7, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Scripture:  Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is in your midst,                          a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness;                          he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. Thought: The prophet Zephaniah warns the Israelites of the coming Day of the Lord. A book full of God’s judgment but also tempered by the hope of his grace and mercy. The devotional verse focuses on God’s presence in our midst, his mercy, and his love. Without God, we are on a slow march to death and destruction. With God, we are saved, created new–the old has…
