The Amazing Story of The Doolittle Raider and the Samurai

One of the boldest stratagems of the Second World War involved the bombing of Tokyo by a bomber group led by Col. Jimmie Doolittle. Jacob DeShazer, one of Doolittle’s raiders, led a life fleeing from God until his captivity as a prisoner of the Japanese. His story and that of the commanding Japanese pilot in the attack on Pearl Harbor, Mitsuo Fushida, intertwine in a way only God could orchestrate through a series of remarkable providences.

From Darwin to Hitler

When many intellectuals of western civilization turned from the truth of the Biblical account of Creation to the myths of Darwinian pseudo-science, they embarked on an ideological journey that would lead to abortion, euthanasia, and the Holocaust of the 1930s and 40s. In this historical lecture, we examine the presuppositions of the godless materialism that undergird evolutionary theory, track it through its main proponents and show how it was used to justify murder on an industrial scale.

Is Your Motivation for Homeschooling God’s Motivation?

Most Christians feel they know why Christ came to the earth: to die for our sins. Though this is correct, that is the secondary reason. There was a far higher priority, and until you see this primary reason, your Christianity will produce a confusing, conflicting communication in the church. Discover the primary reason and see how it can affect your homeschooling, your marriage, your parenting

Bible Based Homeschooling: Building a Firm Foundation

I have often said that I don’t care if my children know all the math and science in the world. If they don’t know God, then I haven’t done my job. What good is it to acquire knowledge without first having godly wisdom? Call me an underachiever, but what does it matter to be successful in the world’s eyes, but not God’s? Who defines success? I may be an underachiever by the world’s standards, but I am not looking for worldly achievement, but to make disciples, and that,?my friends, is eternal gain. Several years ago we experimented with using the Bible as our main textbook, and even though we have added in other resources since our Bible is still the book upon which we build our homeschool.

Teaching Your Children to Defend Christianity

In the growing skepticism of our society, it is so important that we not only train our children in Biblical knowledge, but in the logic to know that the Bible is truly the Word of God and Christianity is truth. Once our children leave for college, the world is waiting to attack their faith by convincing them that God is not real, that Christianity is false, and that the Bible is not true. It is critical to our children’s faith, and those to whom they may witness, that they have a strong understanding of the logical way to answer those challenges. Cathryn’s book, Teaching Others to Defend Christianity, is structured as a teaching tool so that parents can use these six lessons to teach their children the essentials to being able to defend their faith. It walks them through the logical progression that God exists, it is the Christian God, the Bible is trustworthy, and Jesus is the Son of God. Are your children prepared to face the fundamental questions to their faith?

The First Africans in English America – A Heritage of Diligence and Freedom.

One of the most remarkable stories in American history pertains to the arrival in 1619 of the first Africans to the English colony at Jamestown. Down through the centuries, the descendents of those first Africans could count among their number cattle ranchers, teachers and Confederate soldiers. History is rarely neat and tidy and often flies in the face of prevailing orthodoxies. Few stories capture the imagination and offer a countervailing story of providential triumph like that handful of Bantus of Ndongo from Angola in the earliest days of the Virginia colony.

The Epic Battle between Wisdom and Folly

Join Mark Hamby as he takes you on a tour of Proverbs chapters 1-9, demonstrating why the “fear of God” is a prerequisite to His love and how the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. If this is truly the beginning, then why do we search for knowledge in so many places? Learning to love what God loves and hate what God hates will be foundational to a child’s worldview. As the story unfolds, experience the unforgettable tensions between Wisdom’s ways and Folly’s entrapments. Both Wisdom and Folly promise prosperity, prestige, protection, and pleasure. Learning how to distinguish between Folly’s false promises and Wisdom’s guiding truths will help children to develop discernment to avoid false flatterers (peers), beguiling beauty (pornography), and enticing touches (addictions). Through the knowledge gained in this seminar, parents will be equipped to help their children reclaim their vitality and virtue!

“Teaching Your Children to Love the Ten Commandments”: Without Becoming Legalists!

What are we to “teach diligently” (Deut. 6:7)? The Ten Commandments (especially Deut. 5.) Dr. E. Calvin Beisner is the speaker in 23 video lectures on the Ten Commandments suitable for a home school semester or quarter. In this talk Dr. Beisner explains how to use that series and its study guide to lead your children to say, “Oh, how I love Your law!”(Psalm 119:97) without becoming prideful legalists! He shows how the law convicts us of sin, points us to Christ as Savior, and guides our conduct. He explains how it applies to every aspect of life: personal, familial, social, and political. The Ten Commandments once were widely honored in America, and that helped make our nation free, upright, and prosperous. Recent generations have turned from them, leading to tragic moral decay. If we are to have revival, the Ten Commandments will play a major role. Come and learn how God can use you to help spur such revival – beginning in your own home, and expanding from there!

The Watchman

Watchmen are discussed throughout the Bible and used in great ways.

We will discuss the ways that you as a watchman should be the provider, protector, shepherd, and the counselor of your house.
