THE LEFT’S WAR ON HOMESCHOOLING

Discussed by Sheri Few
with US Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) (www.uspie.org/)

In recent years, the Left has turned their attention to parents who choose to homeschool their children. But why?

Today, Sheri Few discusses the Left’s war on homeschooling and why Christian, Conservative, homeschooling parents need to make their voices heard. Sheri is the President of US Parents Involved in Education (USPIE).

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Has there always been skepticism about homeschooling? Sheri reveals that she was even one of those skeptics – but thankfully her mind was changed!

What’s the “I’ve Had It” podcast? What was stated during a recent episode regarding homeschooling that was so disparaging? Please note: We will not be linking this podcast. If you want to check it out, do so on your own.

Wait a minute…. Doesn’t the Left advocate for CHOICE (abortion and trans rights)? What about OUR right to homeschool our kids?

How does this kind of rhetoric show the growing threat to parental rights in America?

THE TRUTH IS

Discussed by Alison Morrow
with Good Schooling (www.goodschooling.net/)

It is not loving to affirm somebody’s sin and tell them it’s OK. It is not loving to turn a blind eye and pretend like it isn’t happening. It isn’t loving to let someone persist in their ignorance. Our culture has become obsessed with “you do you,” and “to each their own,” and “don’t judge.”

But this results in millions of people being completely chained to their sin, ruled by their emotions, and guided by their body’s trauma response.

Listen in as the What’s UP Radio Program editor and producer, Sara Tracey, reads the words her dear friend, Alison Morrow, wrote about The Truth.

What will you do to help right what’s wrong in America?

YOU ARE A WONDERFULLY MADE WORK IN PROGRESS

Discussed by David Fleming
with Lanier Theological Library (www.LanierTheologicalLibrary.org)

Day 4

IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE BOTH WONDERFULLY MADE AND A WORK IN PROGRESS? IF GOD CALLS US TO BE PERFECT LIKE JESUS, WHY SHOULD WE ALSO NOT STRIVE FOR PERFECTION? CAN THAT LEAD TO OUR DOWNFALL?

It’s summer time and that means special lessons from various guests for the Biblical Literacy Lesson at Champion Forest Baptist Church. The series is featuring various Scripture passages that are familiar, but the presenter will be teaching it in a brand-new light.

This week, David Fleming clears up some confusion on those questions, redirecting our focus to Scripture instead of doubt.

To view David Fleming’s video for this lesson, click here.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

WORK IN PROGRESS

Is God ever finished working on us and through us? (Philippians 3:12-16)

Did you know that there are statues that Michealangelo did not finish? Are they considered to be art? (Ephesians 2:8-10) David reminds us that, unlike Michealangelo’s art, WE are perfect as unfinished vessels.

Will God ever finish His work in us? (Philippians 1:6)

Must we work FOR our salvation or work OUT our salvation? (Philippians 2:12-13)

Can we be wonderfully made and still a work in progress?

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

SUFFERING IS NOT WORTH COMPARING

Does God really care about our problems? Think about this: He gets it! After all, His son endured the worst suffering imaginable and He promises to be with us through it all. (Psalm 34:18-19)

Dr. Bales wanted a way to express the way he felt about his beautiful daughters. He uses this segment to share more about their health issues and how God has continually showed up with miracle after miracle after miracle in their lives. Tune in tomorrow to hear the song that he and his friend Michael wrote and composed for his daughters.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Abba Father,

Thank you for being so very close.

As the storms of life rage, may we keep our eyes focused on your precious son, Jesus Christ, for he is our rock and our salvation.

Shine through all we say and do. Guide our words and our actions. Be in the center of all our plans.

May we be steadfast, immovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord our labor is not in vain.

May your favor, O Lord, be upon us as you establish our work.

Standing against the evil of our time, may we not grow weary.

Now, let’s be going and doing, filled and guided by the Holy Spirit, doing the most good along the way.

Thank you, Father, for calling us your children.

Forever and forever,

Amen and Amen.
