Student of the Word Curriculum...... Teaching the Word of God as a curriculum...

Posted on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 08:00

In light of my post yesterday on the Church of Oprah, Dh and I have decided to take a closer look at what we are teaching in our homeschool and why.  We have been very academic the last 6 years of homeschooling.  I have worried over what Math programs to use and this year the big worry has been what Chemistry program to use.  I have never really pondered on what Bible curriculum to use.  Don't get me wrong, we feel strongly about living, really living our Christian walk.  We read the Word of God and we meditate and memorize.  These things are important to us.  However, sometimes they can be lax and put on the back burner for a spelling test or writing assignment.  I believe that that mentality needs an adjustment.  I believe that my children need to be more prepared for a life of warfare with Satan and His spirits here on earth.  1 John 3:24-4:6

The Bible study I am doing, is Bible Study Fellowship. This year, we are studying the book of Matthew.
Each Wednesday, they give a lesson, notes and a 'green sheet' that outlines that weeks lesson.
I use this green sheet as my 'guideline' with the kids......

We talk every day about the Lord. When something big (like this oprah garbage) comes up...or it's just an every day commercial...or better yet, when we are at a book store, and a man reaches for a p*rn mag, sees my daughter, and puts it back and walks away..........it is a chance to see what Scripture says. What does God say about all this??
The kids see me digging in the Word, not 'christian books', for answers. Any thing written by man, is tainted. God's Word is Pure.
My big thing is this: The answers are in the Word. I don't want them to look to christian authors for answers or advice. Just God.

I pray that I am training them up in the Way they should go!!

We do the same things that is why I am leaning towards a more God's Word type of curriculum.
