Alex and Brett Harris are recipients of six national championships in high school speech and debate. Through their blogging, speaking, and writing, they are exhorting their peers to "stop wasting the teen years and to rebel against the low expectations of an ungodly culture." A little bit about their family: Their father, Gregg Harris, is a well-known homeschool author and speaker. He is also a teaching elder at Household of Faith Community Church.

Ligon Duncan endorses With One Voice
I am grateful that Pastor Ligon Dunan has added this endorsement to With One Voice: "The Bible gives us loads of instruction for marriage - what it is, who it is for, what it is for, and how to conduct ourselves as married men and women.

Interview with Ligon Duncan
It was an honor to be interviewed by Pastor Ligon Duncan yesterday. The interview, which I previously mentioned, was a week late as I had a nasty cold last week.

When does, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right" (Eph. 6:1) come to an end? After all, most thirty year-olds don't call their folks to check when curfew is. And what is the difference between children obeying (vs. 1) and "honoring" (Eph. 6:2), which the text implies is a life-long duty (“that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land"). Things are more cut and dry in high school, when teenagers are under their parents' roof. … [Read more...] about How Important is a Parental Blessing?
