After the scientists introduced the elders to the rogue teenagers, they observed an amazing change. Immediately, the teenagers calmed down, and their musth cycle ended within a few days. ˜ John Sowers, Fatherless Generation After reading this chapter and the entire book I can’t help but think about the fatherlessness [...]

a father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families… Psalm 68:5-6 In my teenage years I had many “adopted” sisters. Most of them were around my age and all of them were going through the same struggle – [...]

To belong to God means I am no longer defined by what I do, no longer defined by my performance. I am defined by his love for me. Whatever anyone else says about me doesn’t really mean jack squat. It is only God that matters. To belong to God means [...]

First of all, thank you for helping make March a record month for traffic for us here at BibleDude.net! We’ve been shifting our approach a little bit, and it seems to be resonating with old and new readers alike. The biggest shift has been to more of a multi-blogger format. [...]

What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. ~A.W. Tozer During my college summers, I worked at a day camp in Tulsa. While it was considered a “Christian” camp, it was mostly about enjoying the outdoors with activities like canoeing, archery, [...]
I won The Inklings of Oxford: C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Their Friends earlier this year (in the @bibledude giveaway marathon), and finally made time to review this facinating book from Harry Lee Poe (yes, distant relative of Edgar Allan.) This is both a photo book and [...]

The fatherless generation embraces pain to escape the anguish of a missing father. They believe and live the lies of rejection until the lie becomes the truth. Like Legion, they isolate themselves to escape the pain through drugs or self-injury – sometimes even suicide. They have forgotten their own names [...]

Dear Ann, I’ve been reading your new book One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are, and I wanted to share a few things that’ve been on my heart since I’ve started reading it. Your life humbles me. I read your words and find myself struggling [...]
What would the world be like if a new ‘third’ testament was added to the Canon of the Scriptures? What if that third testament included gnostic gospels such as the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Philip (the document that inspired The Davinci Code)? Then throw in the so-called [...]

Fatherlessness wilts the dream of being daddy’s little girl. Not having a father is so significant and damaging to a girl. All little girls want to be held in their daddy’s arms. Unfortunately, this longing for something she will never have often leads “daddy’s little girl” into the cold arms [...]

As I read through this chapter, I couldn’t help but to revisit my adolescence. Growing up, most gang members I knew and befriended were cool, quite funny, and often even sentimental. Definitely different than the picture you see painted in music videos, on the news, or in violent “street” movies. [...]
