New Year Revelation: In the Beginning God
As we begin the New Year, many of us are reading this scripture as we start in the beginning of the Word again. In America’s founding, we knew how to lay God “in the beginning” of our endeavors.
In our reformed churches:
“Those reformers who saw the evil of these things, and whose hearts the Lord had touched with heavenly zeal for His Truth, shook off this yoke of anti-Christian bondage and as the Lord’s free people joined themselves together by covenant as a church, in the fellowship of the gospel to walk in all His ways, made known, or to be made known to them, according to their best endeavors, whatever it should cost them, the Lord assisting them. And that it cost them something, the ensuing history will declare…” ~ William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation
In our civic endeavors:
“In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten… by the grace of God… having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith… doe, by these presents, solemnly and mutually in the presence of God, and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politick…” ~ The Mayflower Compact, 1620
In our universities:
“Let every student be plainly instructed, and earnestly pressed to consider well, the maine end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternall life, John 17:3 and therefore to lay Christ in the bottome, as the only foundation of all found knowledge and Learning…” ~ Harvard 1643
What gave them this ability to reason from the Word of God to everything they did? Where do we start to recover this heritage? All around us, we keep hearing a clear call to Renew Your Mind. Paul challenges us in Romans 12:1-2:
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Do you want to join me in dedicating 2021 to Renewing Your Mind? What will the Lord teach us from His Word this year? Will it make a difference in our lives, our families, our community and our nation? Maybe we could help each other through a simple challenge:
My area to focus on will be Education. What does the Bible say about Education. How do we educate Biblically? When do we educate? Where do we educate Biblically? Why does it matter?
I’ll be starting a Bible study, a weekly blog that focuses on Biblical Worldview Education and how to learn and teach using the Bible for curriculum and methodology. I’ll share Historical references and specific scriptures to aid us in getting started and in developing our Biblical Worldview as it pertains to Education.
Learning how to learn and teach Biblically will be great for home schoolers, teachers (in all schools), parents and grandparents, patriots and pastors. This study will equip you to develop your Biblical philosophy of education.
Does this sound FUN? Sign up here!! Please share with friends that you know are interested. Let’s believe God for advancing His Kingdom in 2021!
For His glory,
