NOTE: For complete understanding of these conclusions please read all previous posts dated March 25, 2007 under SDS study.
Based on my study(and this was just Lesson 1!!!) I can appreciate…..
1. What an incentive to aim at and to target fashioning and shaping our dc’s character thru their education/training. It holds much benefit for them and for their homes, their children, their communities, our nation(Godly president will make godly decisions). God will bless and is with those who NOT just exhibit His character(b/c anybody can fake acting like they know God but in the long run it will not last) but one who has committed to live a life of Christian Character. Lasting, true, Christian character can only come from knowing God-having personal relationship with Him and keeping His Word….living a life in obedience to His Word. There is a pre-requesite to seeing this in our children though…this comes from 4R of the role of Parents in the education of children….we must be a TRUE, HONEST example of Christian character ourselves. We MUST live what we teach our children to be and do.
Matthew 5:19 (King James Version)
19Whosoever
therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach
men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in
the kingdom of heaven.
Acts 1:1 (King James Version)
1The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2. I now understand sooooooooooooooo much more the mindset and philosophy coming from the authors of FACE resources and T&L and CHOC. I now see why the push for character, why the heart is the object and target of this method/philosophy and much more than that….Why GOD targets the heart of the individual. The Word of God even tells us HOW to go about reaching the heart…it is thru educating/renewing the mind in God’s Word and His Ways…that will produce a character with traits of the philosophy of the education they received AND that is why choosing a method and curriculum or developing a method and curriculum that renews the mind to the fact that God governs all and can be seen in all of life and learning and in all subjects is CRITICAL!! That is another dissertation on how the Word of God tells us to teach..in another post 
3. Even though I’ve read GACE and T&L and CHOC I understood what I read but I did not GET
it like I get it now…not until I started thru the SDS and did my own study and only then did God give me the understanding.
Lesson for me: just b/c I explain something to my dc doesn’t mean they GET it even though it may seem as if they understand by answering my questions correctly. They will (eventually) have to take the time to study/research these truths out for themselves and I must give them time for(and even structure/plan my lessons to enable ) God to bring the revelation forth from HIs Spirit to theirs…ultimately it is the Holy Spirit who is the teacher. They must go thru the same process I did over this week…I am there to be a living example, an effective and skillful teacher at guiding them along in their research and reasoning….just like the SDS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT did for me.
The teaching that sticks(that becomes internalized and lived) becomes education that produces character like unto itself.
