[Mary Etheldreda]

Solomon wrote that there are more important things than simply amassing knowledge. More important than knowing the 3 R's, or anything really, is knowing the importance of fearing God and obeying Him without reservation, without condition (Ecclesiastes 12:12-14). As Solomon was the wisest man that ever lived, we would do well to emulate him in our educational approach.

The Lord tells us that the basis of all true knowledge is through fear of Him (Proverbs 1:7). Jesus said that when we know the Truth, the Truth will make us free (John 8:32). The Truth is of course to "study to shew thyself approved unto God" (2 Timothy 2:15). In order for a child to learn how to present himself to God as one approved, for example as a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the Word of Truth, he must study with diligence the Word of God. The child must be made to understand that to fail to do that is to fail to be admitted into Heaven, as he will be forever seen by the LORD as a sinful, offensive, disgusting creature, no better than a pile of stench-filled bloody menstrual rags (Isaiah 64:6). Every child must learn the Ultimate Question: Where Will He Go When He Dies?

Schools can be spiritual battlegrounds for our children. They may be inundated with anti-Christian doctrine, relative morality, and scientific theories based on objective evidence rather than Biblical principles. In schools, children are exposed to evolution, witchcraft, psychology, homosexuality, and masturbation as the gateway "drug" to serial abortion. The Bible tells us to not be deceived however, that bad company corrupts good morals (1 Corinthians 15:33). The child who is well-versed in biblical principles will easily see the falsehood of these claims and may very well be used by God to counter the lies with His truth. Parents can help by arming their children with constant reminders of who watches over them all the time.

Whether you send your child off to be a missionary at their local public school, or you home educate them, you can give them constant reminders that Jesus is watching, and judging, their every move. You can use everyday school items to help keep your children on the straight and narrow!

Notebooks for penmanship and memorizing Holy Scripture




A fun reminder that Jesus is watching you!




Lunchtime is Funtime when JESUS is your table buddy




Homeschoolers can walk through an encouraging hallway to the School Room





Rewards for doing better than other students are great incentives to work hard

Sisters, I am looking for some reading primers for homeschooling, that is, ABC books. Something like this:



Obviously, A is for Adam, B for baptism, C for cross and D for Deuteronomy. We all know J and G and H and S, Satan or SODOMY. I'm struggling with Q and W, perhaps Christian reading material would be available?

X is also a bit tough, isn't it?

Nehemiah 2:1
And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Brother, do be careful. Some letters of the alphabet are positively demonic.

What to do! Satan has corrupted the world and even readin' writin' 'n' cipherin' can be under his power. I think that my manchildren should know their enemy but what about the half-children?

Matthew 13:39
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.


I am not willing too use the Jooish alphabet, either.

This calls for PRAYER!


Yours in Christ,

This is a very timely thread. As a female, I could be very wrong in asking this question, but do these pictures and figures of Jesus break the commandment in Exodus 20:4? "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth"

Q is for queers, children need it driven into them that the queer lifestyle is a ticket to Hell.

W, of course, is for the opposite of queer - the Godly and Manly George W Bush!

As far as X goes, my brain is stuck on xylophone and that doesn't really have any Christian connotations so I can't help you there.

Xenophobia. Glad to help.

Nonsense. Xenophobes don't play the xylophone.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

I know they used to play this video in Sunday School at LBC. Do they still?

[Witch Hammer]

I probably sound like a broken record, but this cannot be overly stressed:

CHICK TRACTS, CHICK TRACTS, CHICK TRACTS!!

I have no problem with the clear-cutting of vast swaths of primordial rainforest to keep the Chick Tract factories churning out pamphlets until the Second Coming...but for convenience sake, I highly recommended This Godly App. Now, with the push of a button, Christian students can spam friends and enemies alike with the Good Word in an easy-to-understand comic book format. Praise!!

[BaptistBethany]

Here is a great item to hang in your home.

[Harsha Shah]

Yes, this is very interesting. I am starting my career as a primary school teacher and I am very interested in the practices, how home schooling is being conducted and how schooling takes place in different parts of the world. You are showing blessed pictures and examples of items that a Christian child might be finding precious. Yes.

I do not wish to cause anger but I am telling how I was planning to do this. Blank white notebook covers. Each child can be decorating the covers with personal drawings or by doing some crafts with glue and stuff, yes? If the child is a Christian, I would not refuse a picture of Jesus but I do not think many children will be choosing that. I do not think I will be seeing a picture of Mahavira on the covers but it does not disturb me although Jainism is my religion. They are mostly doing footballs and animals. Yes. They are making their own roadmaps for the year to come, roadmaps on the things that interest them, perhaps, sometimes it is religion but not always. Blessed pictures for the blessed children. And the teacher can learn so much by examining what the child is choosing, yes. But your schools will of course follow your curricula.

[Nobar King]

Hopefully you women are busy homeschooling your children and teaching them how to use a mouse.

Brother Dr White, did you ever solve this problem? Because here we use Nahum 1:5 for Q is for Quake:

The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

(This has the benefit of being topical.)

W is for Woe, for example Isaiah 29:1:

Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

We never did solve the problem of X, apart from warning against Francis Xavier as an example of filthy Catlic idolatry. In the end, it came down to using words that sound out the letter, by beginning with ex -, like Exalt in Psalm 99:9:

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

Exult is another useful one.

Sister,

How wonderful! These suggestions will certainly be put to good use!

I was so stuck with Q that I'm at the moment quite ashamed at myself . Your examples are excellent! I would also add "quicken" as a word that can be of use.

Psalms 119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.

Yours in Christ,

Elmer

That's a nice sentiment, but you clearly know nothing about children. You see, all children are born into sin, all children are children of wrath (Ephesians 2:3; Romans 5:18-20). All humans are born with an innate desire to rebel against and act in a hostile way towards God. Some people call this a "sin nature." It is in our nature to sin, that is, until our souls are regenerated through Christ Jesus (John 3:6-7; 1 Peter 1:23; John 1:13; 1 John 3:9, etc).

You see, thanks to Eve, a sin nature was passed along to the children of Adam and Eve (Genesis 5:3). The fact is that each and every person in the world has inherited the sin nature of his parents. The entire Holy Bible speaks to this fact, it is the reason Christ comes as such good news! For otherwise we would be forever doomed, as the Psalmist explains, "The wicked are estranged from the womb; these who speak lies go astray from birth." (Psalm 58:3) His son Solomon wrote: "Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins." (Ecclesiastes 7:20)

The problem with allowing children free reign of imagination is that it strengthens their sin nature unless they have been Born Again and are no longer in a state of rebellion against Jesus, because that really irks the LORD (Isaiah 63:10). As an Indian and heathen, you naturally have no way of understanding this, and so stand to do so much more damage to the soul of a child than you realize. You would do well instead to fill your classroom with the Truth of God's Sovereignty. That way, even if you are too stubborn or dim witted to fear and love the LORD, perhaps some of your poor, pathetic barefoot children will be inspired to embrace Him.

What about Q is for Queen Ester? She's a good role model, no?
