The Most Important Job

One of the clearest and most well-known sets of parenting instructions involves discipling our kids in God’s Word. In Deuteronomy 6:6-9, ESV, God instructs us through Moses:

“And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”

Now, we usually don’t literally write God’s Word on paper bound to our foreheads. Instead, we help write God’s Word on our children’s hearts.

How do we teach God’s Word diligently to our children? As God instructs us: we do it when we go for walks, when we have breakfast, at bedtime, and as we sit together. God’s Word is meant to be a regular, ongoing part of our kids’ day.

There’s another passage I really, really love. Isaiah 55:10-11, ESV, is such an encouraging promise from the Lord:

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
    and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
    giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
    it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
    and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”

Teaching the Bible to our kids is the job that God has entrusted us with. It’s a command. And, leading our kids through Scripture is a joy! There is so much we can to do help our kids learn and love the Bible. God’s Word is more than just a half-hour class. We can trust that God’s Word will not return empty. Rather, we can trust that He will accomplish His purpose in us—and in our children.

Is Bible More Than a Subject?

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.  And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.  You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.  You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.  You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates” (Deuteronomy 6:5-9, ESV).

What does this great Shema of the Bible mean for homeschool Christians today?  This is a passage that communicates to us to disciple our children. Period. The home is where they learn about the High King of Heaven and to not forget the deeds He has done.  It is also the place they learn moral instruction and Truth from the living Word. 

Though it’s nice to be able to have several Bible curriculums to choose from, it’s more than just a subject.  As a matter of fact, it’s the very core of all the subjects. It is the way of life that the Lord wants us to live to educate our children to love the Lord and make Him known to them.

When Jesus said, “you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind”  (Matthew 22:37, ESV), He was quoting this key passage from the Old Testament as the greatest commandment in the Law.

So, make Bible the greatest subject of all subjects!

The Best Version

I don’t know what the big deal is when we talk about the Bible and school. There’s just something about the topic that makes us feel guilty. We’re not doing enough . . . teaching it right . . . covering all the needed topics
. . . preparing our children for the future that they’ll face.

I get it. I feel it and my wife amplifies the feeling in me when she points out that we haven’t done enough to teach them about the Bible.

But here’s the deal: it’s not that complicated. It’s NOT so much about teaching them the truths . . . as it is modeling the truths. Yes, they need to KNOW that they’re in the Bible, but it’s more important to know that those truths can be trusted and lived . . . and the way they learn that is by watching you (us).

So maybe I can eliminate some of the weight you feel by making it simple for you. 

1) Have them read their Bible or read it to them. Don’t expect amazing interaction times or that they’ll ponder it like you (an adult) do. Just let them hear the words.

2) Show them that it works and can be trusted. Show them unconditional love at home by loving your husband and children unconditionally. Show kindness at the store to strangers when they’re rude to you. Trust the Bible when the world is going crazy, and show forgiveness when your children fail you or you fail them.

That doesn’t sound so daunting, does it? Don’t worry if they can’t remember the Bible reference, the right answer to some obscure apologetic, or that they don’t feel as moved as you do by some spiritual truth.

Just read it . . . and model it.

I was looking for the quote*. . . but either can’t find it or dreamed it up, but it went something like this: “When asked what his favorite translation of the Bible was, the famous person responded, “My mother’s version.” He wasn’t talking about the version she read from . . . but the one she modeled for him.

Be real,
Todd

David West

Put the Bible First in Your Homeschool

Psalm 119:99-100 is helpful for Christian homeschooling. “I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.”

If the author of this great Psalm spoke at a homeschool conference today, he might say, “Teach your children God’s Word first and foremost. The other subjects are necessary and will help children fulfill God’s command to subdue the earth, and to fulfill the command of Jesus to go into all the world and make disciples. Yet, no subject will add more to your children’s lives than a knowledge of God from God’s own revelation.”

Teach your children to interpret the Bible properly, to meditate on Scripture dependently, and to keep God’s law diligently. STEM learning can’t compete with this type of education. Classical studies can’t shape young hearts and minds better than the Bible. Learning from great books can’t measure up to knowledge gained from meditating on The Great Book.

Christian parents should be encouraged: we aren’t alone as we teach our children to know God and to meditate upon His Word. God Himself is at work wherever His Word is central. And where God is at work, His work is accomplished.

21st Century Triad Math

Triad Math Inc.
https://homeschoolertoday.com

Math can be extremely challenging, especially if you are a parent that struggled with math yourself. The online program 21st Century Triad Math taught by Dr. Craig Hane (aka Dr. Del) and his course Triad Math Inc. may be a solution to your math dilemma.

The courses are taught through tutorial videos, PDFs, notes, and exercises to print out. Answer keys are available for each online exercise. Each Tier also has a printed Notes and Exercise book if you prefer not to print out the notes and exercises yourself. Looking through the Dr. Del’s Math: Tier 1 Notes and Exercises physical book we received, I see the same material as found in the online PDFs. A few of the online exercises had a slight variation from the book. The book is not a stand-alone workbook, and you will need the online lesson portions. 

21st Century Triad Math is unique and unlike any math curriculum we have used. The aspect that makes this unique is that the lessons move at a faster pace. At the same time, Dr. Del breaks the lessons into steps to help master topics. Surprisingly, the fast pace does not diminish the learning aspect of it. Some topics are not covered as they are obsolete; Dr. Del felt the topics did not need to be covered. The whole delivery of teaching the topics is different than other programs. My son likes the way the program teaches the concepts. He is doing well in the course and wants to continue moving forward with it. I must admit that I am a bit old-school in my ways. The reality is my son is not old-school and more technically adapted to today’s world. He plans on going into a career where he will need the skills that heavily rely on math and engineering. I want to give him the tools he needs to succeed in the future.
