Turpin // Shyness at Church // Precious Life

This thing with the Turpins in California is really sad.
The level of misguided, self-deceived wickedness and cruelty that parents can reach, in the name of strict parenting is truly awful.  I'm not sure if there is a religious aspect - were they doing this with the intent to raise their children in the discipline and admonition of the Lord? 
How easily the anger of a parent slips into cruel words and actions, into turning against the child instead of loving him and thus shepherding them away from their sin.


On shyness:
I've seen it in myself and in church members a lot.
The middle of the article on conference going got a bit tedious, but the last paragraph is a real thought provoker...


Kevin DeYoung on life being precious - good pro-life argument here.
