Bible Review: NKJV Study Bible for Kids
Over the years, I've sifted through several children's Bibles. The challenge, particularly as a parent, is in trying to find a rendering of the Bible that will help equip your children as they grow. Unfortunately, many children's Bibles are too childish or in a translation that I felt was unfaithful to the original text. The… Continue reading Bible Review: NKJV Study Bible for Kids
Bible Review: NASB Wide-Margin Bible
I recently received a copy of Zondervan's new NASB Wide-Margin Bible. The wide-margin feature provides ample room for observations and notes as you read through your New American Standard Bible version. My copy has a Leathersoft (TM) cover that lays flat nicely and contains two bookmarks (which is especially helpful when flipping between passages!). The edition I… Continue reading Bible Review: NASB Wide-Margin Bible
“That You May Know…” Scripture Writing Plan September 2023
Have you ever received an important letter in the mail? Maybe that letter had a fancy wax seal on the envelope. Maybe the paper inside had an expensive, linen feel, a watermark on the stationary, or even an embossed seal on the page. In short, it had distinct indicators of importance. God’s signs and wonders… Continue reading “That You May Know…” Scripture Writing Plan September 2023
How to Use Scripture Writing Plans
Since I've started publishing scripture writing plans, I've had a few questions about how these plans work. There really isn't a set method for scripture writing, but I would love to share both what I have done and what others have done to get more engagement with God's word. Scripture writing (a.k.a. copying scriptures) is… Continue reading How to Use Scripture Writing Plans
At-Home Devotionals With Children
"What devotional do you use with your children?" I cannot count the number of times I have seen this question posed within various social media groups. Typically, the questioner wants an app, curriculum, or book. If I ever find one I like, I'll be sure to share it with all of you... When my children were… Continue reading At-Home Devotionals With Children
Why Children Need Spiritual Instruction from Their Parents
We cannot expect our children to cling to their faith with conviction if they are only exposed to God for 3% of their life. Some will undoubtably cling to their faith because the Word of God is powerful whether we wield it or not, but if we neglect to teach our children, history (particularly biblical history) teaches us that only a remnant will remain.
Parents, the job of spiritual instruction was never meant to rest squarely on the shoulders of the Bible class teachers.
Wisdom from Proverbs – Scripture Writing Plan for March
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. James 1.5 Our lives are peppered with daily choices, and the impact of our choices may have far-reaching consequences. To navigate through our words and our choices, we need wisdom. Living in… Continue reading Wisdom from Proverbs – Scripture Writing Plan for March
How Do We Respond to Challenges?
The kids and I are currently reading through Numbers. We've already tackled the first three books of the Pentateuch and they are well-acquainted with the Israelites' litany of complaints since their departure from Egypt. Shaking our heads in disgust at their obvious lack of faith is a knee-jerk reaction. However, if we are looking into God's word like a mirror, we may see some glaring (and disturbing) similarities in ourselves!
February Scripture Writing Plan: The Love of the Lord
Romantic love is splendid, but its presence or absence does not determine our value.
Romantic love is euphoric, but only lasts for a short time.
Romantic love is beautiful, but it pales in comparison to the love of God.
For the month of February, our Scripture Writing Plan will focus on the love of God because there is no greater love than His.
