Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter. Boker tov! I was just chatting with my friend about how, no matter how smart or even delayed a child is, all children need to master a few basic things in order to do well in life. We call these character qualities, but maybe the Bible calls it the "fear of
YHVH," which is the beginning of wisdom? My goal is to bring a little bit of Scripture, a sprinkle of encouragement, and a dash of hope to your day. I love a good cup of coffee (brewed like this), but if some other drink is more your style, I'm sure that will work. The point is for you to take a break from crazy living, just long enough for a sip of joy.

God's Lesson PlansBy Anne Elliott, July 3, 2009, AnneElliott.com In the book of Ephesians, we learn that we are members of God’s household, “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets” (Ephesians 2:19-20). Paul refers to this again in 2 Timothy 3:14-17, when he reminds young pastor
Timothy, “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be
thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Did you know that God has “lesson plans” for how to make children “wise for salvation”? Did you know that His lesson plans go far beyond salvation and that they are “useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”? Most amazing, did you know that God’s lesson plans are 100% guaranteed to “thoroughly equip” your children “for every good work”?

The Heart of LearningBy Christine Miller, May 1, 2015, ALittlePerspective.com I had written, on the Nothing New Press Facebook page: “I believe in teaching foundations thoroughly: spending maximum time on a few necessary subjects that are designed to instill a love of learning, and
create life-long independent learners, by unlocking the power of the child’s mind. This is what classical educators call the lost tools of learning of grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric, but what the Bible terms knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.” So what is the foundation, the few necessary subjects? The Scripture is our
first guide. Read More |
