Don’t Apologize

 I had a dream this morning. A nightmare. I dreamt that my whole life was coming to an end in terms of ministry, family and finance. I dreamt that I screwed up with my kids so badly that everything was literally falling apart - the whole house, and that it went viral so much so that everyone who ever meant anything to us in the ministry told us off, that I was unfit as a pastor, as a teacher and as a mother. And I screwed up so badly that even my parents’ ministry was jeapordized and they were denied their right as pastors because of me. Even they were lectured at the end of it by the nicest people in the ministries we knew of: the fathers of the people who were the closest to us, whom we respected the most.


But then, when I woke up and felt terrible about it, and was trying to get over how real it all was, I heard God speak to me:


Don’t ever apologize:

1. For something you did not do.

2. For who you are.

3. To the devil.

4. For doing the right thing.


Every part in that dream, I did my best, and it was not good enough. But that was unreal and the devil just wanted to push me down. He gave me that dream to try to destroy me by destroying my confidence.

Baptism and sinless after

1. Jesus was baptized  2. Jesus’ disciples baptized 3. Jesus commissioned us to baptize 4. Ephesians 4:22 talks about putting off the old man.  This means leaving your past behind and you are not that person. Your dead body is buried and you are now alive because of Christ in you. So the devil cannot point his finger at you and condemn you for your past sins because that person is dead, and you are not that person. You are a new creation. If Christ is in you, Hebrews 6:4-6 says we cannot crucify again the son of God.  2 Peter 2: For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog re...

Lazy teens

A teen is not a kid anymore. Then again, boys mature about 3 years slower, so just take that into account.  When faced with lazy teens, we need to find out the root issue — is it a spirit of laziness? It has to be addressed. He needs to know that it is a spirit and not him. And that he has to fight it. And what happens when spirits like that are not warded off. And how they can ultimately possess a person when entertained and given into. If it’s not laziness, it is a lack of motivation. What do they really have in mind that is really bothering them or they are inspired about and work on that.

No curriculum

Q: I heard we Biblical homeschooling doesn’t need a curriculum. A: I don’t believe in a curriculum as much as a method of teaching. Every child is different. To write a curriculum that will suit every child would be to whip up a menu that will suit every child. It’s just not right. And not possible. The Bible is the textbook, yes. Everything else is just supplementary. Grab your materials and arrange according to Genesis to Revelations. Then look for appropriate content suitable for each of the other books of the Bible. There’s no one way to do it. It’s like cooking— Use what you have, buy what you don’t have. That being said, I don't believe in Unschooling, either, because this this verse: Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it."  I believe in JesusSchooling -- the homeschooling method I was talking about earlier. Cover the Bible from cover to cover with the kids each year. Read my post about JesusSchooling...
