Psalm 78:6-7
We’ve
just completed our 32nd year of homeschooling. We only have 2 school
aged children left. The rest have graduated. As we have a little more
time now, we are creating character curriculum for other families use in
training their children in the most important subject there is-
character- the very attributes of our Lord and Savior! We hope it’ll
make your life easier and serve to assist you in raising up children
mighty in spirit, warriors prepared to enter service for the Lord! God
bless you as you seek to lead your children to the Savior!!
I
found as I taught character to my kids, I was learning it as well. We
were all learning together! It’s a great lesson for our kids as they
watch us struggle to make wise choices to control our anger, practice
self-control, demonstrate kindness, express contentment instead of
complaining, or intentionally practice attentiveness when listening to
them!- Marilyn
Rick, in looking for a way to be able to have input in his kids lives while at work, recorded sections of the Bible for them, beginning with the Book of Proverbs. (now available as Uncle Rick Reads the Proverbs, or Uncle Rick’s Audio Bible Collection)
Pausing in his reading to explain difficult words and give example stories to illustrate what is being taught in the Scripture, he would read through entire books. I would pop the recordings in at nap time and bedtime and over the years, my children learned tons of Scripture without even realizing they were memorizing it. It worked so well that he began recording other books as well - The Book of Psalms, The Gospel of Matthew, and now I Peter and James as well and the results have produced much fruit. As my kids grew with God’s Word anchored in their minds, it eventually worked it’s way into their hearts and there were times they faced difficult situations when God’s Word, which never returns void, would “pop” into their head to give them guidance. It has also resulted in a valuable “tool” for teaching them a Biblical worldview. Years later, we began making those resources available to others for use in their homes and now “Uncle Rick” reads lots of his little buddies to sleep every night!

"
That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be
born, that they may arise and tell them to their children, that they
should put their confidence in God, and not forget the works of God, but
keep His commandments." Psalm 78:6-7
