Unfortunately, too many dads look at home education as the wife’s hobby. Their role, they reason, is to be a good cheerleader. This is totally wrong! The Bible teaches us that Dad is the main leader in educating (discipling) our children as described in Psalm 78.Read More
Who has your children’s hearts? Norm Wakefield shared about the biblical understanding of the heart in part 1 of this article, which you can read here. Part 2 shares some key Scriptures that give insight into how the heart functions and what that means for the parent-child relationship.
All the issues of life flow out of the condition of the heart. The first scripture is Proverbs 4:23,“Watch over your heart with all diligence for from it flow the springs of life” (NASB). The King James Version reads, “for from it flow the issues of life.” Quite often parents make a big deal over the issues of life instead of dealing with the issue of life — the heart condition and direction.Read More

In the past months, I have received the troubling news of four young people who have left their homes without the blessing of their parents.

This is a way of life that is rich in benefits as one shares what he is learning with his children and children’s children. The time spent in learning from this life is a mix of science, theology, social studies, entomology, plant pathology, botany, horticulture, chemistry, math, and economics.

Dad's Corner
By guest author Kirk Smith
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
There is no secret formula to homeschooling success. It would be nice if there were. One reason for this lack of specificity is that God will have no other gods before Him, even His own principles. This is why we are to seek God above all else. Yes, we read books. Yes, we listen to podcasts. Yes, we go to conventions.
These things, however, are not an end in themselves. Instead, they are designed to point us to Jesus.
