Simon the ruler
Continuing along our theme this week of dictatorships, we discussed the difference between leaders and rulers. According to Webster’s 1828 dictionary, they are defined as follows: Ruler–any one that exercises supreme power over others. Leader–One who goes first; a guide. (I rearranged these a bit.) There is a marked difference between the two. One seems benevolent and one does not. We discussed the differences and the type of government these two would look like. We … read on, my friend…
daughters and dictatorships
For our Bible lessons we use the Judah Bible Curriculum, which I can’t rave about enough. It looks at the Bible governmentally, that is, who or what is directing, regulating, controlling or restraining men and nations. (JBC doeas a lot for Christian scholarship and learning to study the Bible for yourself too.) It has been such a wonderful time together. This week were are discussing Egypt and their government–Pharoah (dictator), man over man type of … read on, my friend…
Where are we sowing our seeds?
At lunch yesterday we were talking to a friend who is the general manager of a large restaurant. At this time he is working 60-70 hours a week. He was talking to his parents about his decision to change his life. He is getting out of debt and saving up money to take a year off to seek the Lord and to do the work of the ministry. Then he plans to get a job … read on, my friend…
What we did last week
Well last week was a challenge. But how is that different from any other week? It takes such a commitment to make sure you have school consistently because there are so many things trying to get your attention. They all seem urgent and they all need to be done NOW!!! So we still got our lesons in so I thought I’d share. History Principle: God uses individuals to further His Story. Leading idea: Moses was … read on, my friend…
God’s Principle of Individuality
When I read Mr. Rose’s Guide I was a happy mama. It validated some thoughts I had about the seven principles of America’s Christian history. I keep coming back to the principle of individuality over and over. I wasn’t quite sure if I was just using it as an easy out” for times when I couldn’t take more time to study. (Do you ever feel like you should be getting really “deep” insights when you … read on, my friend…
Leading Ideas
This seems to be a stumbling block to many a Principle Approach family. What exactly is a leading idea? How is it different from a principle? Why is it important and how do I find it? FACE defines a leading idea as “…an idea that leads the reason down a pathway.” Actually the leading idea (LI) is a very simple one. A LI is simply the bridge between the concrete and the abstract. It helps … read on, my friend…
About the stars
Princess G (7 yo) is doing a great job of reasoning from the scriptures. She was reading the story in McGuffey’s second reader about the stars. It goes into detail about their beauty and how they point to God. We know that because we reasoned from scripture that all of creation reveals God’s character and nature. She then looked up the scripture that she remembered a part of: Phi 2:14 Do all things without murmurings … read on, my friend…
