Several weeks ago, I first heard about a Bible curriculum by Peter Enns, published by Peace Hill Press, the publishing arm of The Well-Trained Mind. Since so many homeschoolers are “classical” in style, this really made my ears perk up.…

Just to encourage you today, here are some great quotes from God’s Word, to help you in your parenting and homeschooling.
God’s Word has all we need.
…“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness” (2 Peter 1:3, NIV).

When God wants to teach mankind something, He follows a very specific method that I can copy in my homeschooling. For instance, let’s look at how God teaches all mankind about His “invisible qualities, his eternal power, and divine nature”:
…“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

Last time I wrote a post on some practical, yet Biblical, homeschooling methods suggested from the book of Deuteronomy. I’ve been personally mulling over these methods a lot in the last few weeks. I’ve been homeschooling for many years now, and I’ve gotten more and more opinionated about how I teach in my home.…

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been examining what Deuteronomy 6 has to say about a biblical homeschooling philosophy. I noted that the book of Deuteronomy seems to suggest specific methods for not only what and why we should teach our children, but how we should teach them.…

…Note: Last week, I started a two-part discussion from a commentary note by Adam Clarke, originally published in the early 1800s. He wrote the following about Deuteronomy 6:25, with what I feel is about the most excellent summary of homeschooling philosophy I’ve ever read.

Adam Clarke’s Commentary on the Bible, originally published in the early 1800s, has an interesting note on Deuteronomy 6:25. It is about the most excellent summary of homeschooling philosophy I’ve ever read. I can’t stop thinking about it. I wish I were smart enough to have written this in the first place!…

Today, we’re continuing on with our discussion from chapter 3 of Juggling Life’s Responsibilities.
“According to Jeremiah 17:9, we should not trust our own judgment. Why not?”
Let me give you a little background to this discussion. In my Juggling book, I wrote,
…“Women especially need wisdom.
The Fear of the LORD

As we continue our Bible study from my Juggling Life’s Responsibilities, we see this question:
…“According to Psalm 111:10, where does wisdom begin?”
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding” (Psalm 111:10).
Obedience and Homeschooling

If you’ve been homeschooling for any time at all, you’ve discovered the same secret I have. Children must be obedient if you’re going to enjoy teaching them!
God says the same thing:
…“The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him” (Proverbs 23:24).
