America's Christian History Series
Grades 1-8 Student Guides
Price: $12.95 US/each
In Deuteronomy, we are instructed to teach the mighty deeds of God to our children; yet, for 150 years, we have neglected to teach the miracles of God concerning our nation. Now you can reclaim this heritage as you learn and teach your children. Each level cover seven principles of God upon which this nation was built.
Seven Key Principles
1. The Principle of Individuality
Everything God creates is unique, individual, and for a purpose. By looking at God’s creation we can learn about God’s own individuality. Everything God creates, He provides for, protects, and maintains. God uses individual people, events, documents, nations, etc. to fit into His plan for the world.
2. The Principle of Self-Government
A man cannot rule our country, unless he can manage a state, but a man cannot manage a state, unless he can lead a county, but a man cannot lead a county, unless he can head a city, but a man cannot head a city, unless he can guide a family, but a man cannot guide a family, unless he can govern himself, but a man cannot govern himself, unless he has reason, but a man cannot have reason, unless he is ruled by and obedient to God. Each person shows his own individual responsibility to God by learning to be self-governed based on God’s word.
3. America's Heritage of Christian Character
We need to teach our children that we are warriors in a battle for God. We are in constant conflict with sin in our everyday lives. By knowing and remembering what God has done for our nation, we can learn to recognize what God is doing in our own lives. Once we recognize the hand of God in history, our lives, and in the lives of our families, we have discovered wisdom. We need to share our personal witness with our students, children, and families. By sharing it, we and others are encouraged, enlightened, reminded of God's steadfastness, and our faith in future help is renewed.
4. Conscience is the Most Sacred of All Property
All the world is God's property because He created it. By the dominion mandate both after the fall and after the flood, man was given the right to own property. Man has both internal property and external property. Of all the property which man owns, the conscience is the most sacred. It is one's conscience that determines if one chooses right or wrong. It is the conscience that decides whether or not to accept Christ…it is the nearest the heart of God. We all need to be more aware of our conscience and more sensitive to it.
5. The Christian Form of our Government
We have a Christian nation. No, we are not all Christians, but the form of our government is Biblical and as such we have a Christian form of government. The exact name of our government is a Christian Federal Constitutional Republic (not a democracy). As Christians, we need to teach our children about our form of government and the need to protect its Biblical roots.
6. How the Seed of Local Self-Government is Planted
Think for a moment what would happen to our country if a child grows up knowing: He/she is uniquely made by God for a purpose, How to govern his/her thoughts and actions based on God's law as outlined in the Bible, What God has done in his/her nation's history and can recognize the hand of God in their own, How to listen to his/her conscience and guards his/her consent, and The structure and origins of our form of government. What would happen? For one, the child would begin to teach others and take action to protect what God has given us in this nation. The child would begin to take responsibility for his/her part in the family, the church, and also in civil government. The child would become an informed and active citizen.
7. The Principle of the American Political Union
This whole principle is based on Christian unity. When one decides to come to Christ, it is not forced…it is a voluntary union. When our original thirteen colonies came together, it was voluntary unity. For the first time in the history of the world, a nation was formed by voluntary consent of the people. We use this principle each day as we decide whether or not to join others for a cause. It is usually our conscience which helps us decide whether or not to unite with others. A child uses this principle when he/she decided whether or not to join scouts, youth groups, band clubs, choral groups, baseball teams and such.
