Comment on Cloistered Fruit by Chuck Joyner

Hello Sandra,

There is no doubt that a situation does not have to be as extreme as this to be a problem.

You appear to be unfamiliar with much of the NGJ material. Mike frequently addresses the subject of letting even younger children see the ugliness of sin and unrighteous and the consequences. I suggest that you listen to the Sex Education for Children and Young Adults and Marriage where he addresses these subjects on audio teachings. Debi has even written 2 books, Samuel Learns To Yell and Tell and Sara Sue Learns To Yell & Tell as warning against sexual predators. Both are currently Top 10 Sellers on the NGJ Webstore and have 4 Star Rankings on Amazon. Apparently your exposure to Christian homeschool families must be extremely limited. Ideally, discussions of sexuality and the dangers of sin should be so common as to render unnecessary the dreaded “talk” that usually never gets discussed in most families. It appears that you were cloistered. If children have not been exposed to discussions about sex (preferably as normal conversation) by high school, putting it in the biology book is too little too late. The public schools are the perfect proof of this where parents are relinquishing the responsibility of teaching their children about sex to the incompetent state with disastrous results.

You were not too blunt and I hope that my response has not been too blunt.

Sincerely, NGJ Staff

I’m looking forward to the articles in cane creek corner. Watching video or hearing audio isn’t appealing.

Your ad with the four windows looks neat! I know there’s often a ramp up time

I have a lot to say, but this is not the platform for it.

Thanks for your interest. The song is "Pray Your Minute" by Rebekah (Pearl) Anast, from the music CD From the End of the Earth (available in our web store). The CD packaging includes a foldout booklet with all the lyrics printed out.

For more teaching songs, you should check out ABC Bible Verse Songs.

Love getting the Cane Creek Corner in my inbox! Each one has been a blessing and a good reminder or lesson in how to keep perspective in our child training. Sometimes the tips are just to keep smiling and be joyful, and yet it comes on a day when I need it most. (My handsome husband even benefits from that one!) We have a 3 year old son, and a 2 year daughter. Although so close in age and sometimes a handful, I thank ya’ll for the encouragement to keep on raising them for the Lord! Homemakin’ mamas like me need as much advice and information as possible to keep from burning out!!! Ya’ll are such a blessing.
Rejoicingly, Jessi Zorn

Do you happen to have the lyrics to the introduction song on this video that starts with “Are you bored with your life little man…”? Also, if you happen to have any other character songs that can reinforce training, that would be wonderful.
Thank you.

Excellent. Just Excellent.

Comment on How did Jesus deal with Homosexuals? by kim

kim — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:34:52 +0000

Our church brought in a man who used to be a homosexual and went so far as to seek out a sex change operation to become a woman. he claims God intervened and redeemed him over thirty years ago. he is married, has a grown married daughter and a grandchild. He preaches to churches around the world about redemption, however while he says he has been redeemed and is no longer homosexual he has retained very strongly and overtly his previous effeminate mannerisms and flamboyance. He even made some jokes referencing his former lifestyle, at which my church laughed heartily. The final straw for me was when he made innuendo that Jesus washing Peter’s feet and Peter responding by asking him to wash his whole body (which is not what Scripture even says, though he claimed it did) as if it was a pseudo-gay activity and then my whole church laughed. I got up and left in tears and sickened to my stomach. What can I do? the man’s ministy is Sy Rogers. Look him up. I believe he is under a spirit of deception and is leading people down the wrong path. He likes to refer to sexual sin as “sexual misadventure.” I am shocked and horrified and am leaving my church over it.

Thank you! I’ve never been able to get a handle on this concept so I pretty much gave up. You’ve encouraged me to try again and get more order into our family relationships.
