“The Mighty Works of God: Liberty & Justice for All” review

Posted on July 9, 2011 by

Mrs. Smith is the founder of Pilgrim Institute. She has written a history series for home educators called “The Mighty Works of God.” I have used this myself so I feel I can give an honest review. For this review I will refer to this title as LJFA. This is the second book in the MWOG series, intended for younger elementary ages. First off, this is not an intimidating tome. The student text is less … read on, my friend…

Charity brings: kingdom

Posted on July 5, 2011 by

This is part three in my series on charity. (Here are posts one and two.) Webster defines kingdom as “In Scripture, the government or universal dominion of God.” This is the kingdom I am referring to–God’s kingdom. I’ve heard it said that love is the currency of heaven.

Posted on October 20, 2010 by

Hope for the next generation

Posted on February 27, 2009 by

My oldest daughter (10) entered this year’s essay contest from our state’s Christian homeschool organization. The topic was “The Role of Christians in Government.” When I saw the title I knew she just had to enter. It took a lot of prodding but I finally got a paper out of her. She typed it up, then saw that it had to be hand written, so she copied it and we put both copies in the … read on, my friend…

Where our allegiance lies

Posted on January 25, 2009 by

This blog is not known to be particularly involved in current events and other potentially controversial things.

Jackson was on talking about his ministry and taking calls from listeners. One caller offered the idea that Jesus got down with the people and was basically okay with them being in sin. This got … read on, my friend…

The Principle of Representation Ex. 18:25-26, Deut. 1:13 (Moses is the first example of this principle). The Children of Israel chose their own representatives. Rev. Thomas Hooker used this principle in a 1638 sermon that inspired the first constitution in America–the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut. Christian form of our government As … read on, my friend…
