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

Re: The BACK TO SCHOOL "Best Things For School" Thread!

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.

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.

Re: The BACK TO SCHOOL "Best Things For School" Thread!

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

Re: The BACK TO SCHOOL "Best Things For School" Thread!

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!!

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?

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!

Re: The BACK TO SCHOOL "Best Things For School" Thread!

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"

Re: The BACK TO SCHOOL "Best Things For School" Thread!

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!

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

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.
