The drawing has two wings coming out of a representation of the cross showing the crown of thorns and the nails, later the spear that pierced His side will be added, to complete our mental picture of events at the cross. Just remember He endured that cross for you. At the cross, He became sin that we might be made the righteousness of God. He took upon himself, all sin during that time nailed to the cross. That was the greatest demonstration of love ever. Think about it. See him becoming sin at the cross. It happened. He endured it all for you.
To even understand His word, we have to learn words and what they mean. As we begin reading words we quickly come across numbers. So we have to know words and numbers to understand scripture.
The entrance of His word gives light to our soul,
overcomes confusion
unmasks deception
Gives faith for our life
and through faith we have the victory
His goal for us is eternal life and being conformed to the image of Christ.
Our goals should be set upon things above, and not of this earth.
Scripture is the story of the people of God.
This amounts to what we call history.
Without knowing history it is next to impossible to understand where we are.
So we need to know words, numbers, and history: all these things and know them from the viewpoint of God. The viewpoint of men is not what we're seeking but the viewpoint of the Lord God, our Creator.
The one who created us, as referenced in the Declaration of Independence is best able to give us what we need to know for successful living.
This is written to give students of all ages the knowledge and understanding they need to have faith for the vision and goals of the high calling of Christ.
Without faith, what can we do?
Except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it.
We will establish a foundation and build with silver and gold, not wood hay and stubble.
The Lord is with you to help you and to establish you.
He is working for you, with you, and in you both to will and do His good purpose.
He is more than able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.
He has promised to teach us by His Spirit.
If we are willing we shall know His will.
Hear and obey, that is simple. What we see and hear of Him, that is what we are to do.
An important scripture too often ignored tells us to hold fast the form of sound words. This is going to be one of the core themes for this presentation. Too many have called evil good and called good evil. Too many have changed the meaning of too many words. Without true meanings and pure meanings, the confusion rises up and people walk in a fog.
The pages following will give faithful and true instruction on raising babes, children, and students of all ages ( we're all supposed to be learning).
A vision of God's goals for us gives strength to attain towards it.
Without a vision the people perish.
Hebrews 12:2 gives us a hint of the connection whereby a true and good vision gives strength to do what is necessary to accomplish it. "...for the joy of the vision set before Him, He endured the cross..."
another place says, "... the joy of the Lord is our strength..." (Neh 8:10) Children need all this and more. It is our duty to give it to them. And to put things in order, according to due process.
