Sample lesson Kerugma Bible study, based on Proverbs 26:17

Do you know what the law says with respect to home educating? Do you understand that there is a difference between Law and ‘policy’? Do you understand what your obligations are to the Ed. Dept and to your children? Who is responsible for the education of your children? What would you do if the system was not happy with your endeavors at educating your children and ordered you to return them to a school where they must attend?

I use a teaching method that I learnt from Heart of Wisdom called the 4mat system. I have modified it slightly to suit the needs of our family. I have found these steps to be very beneficial in not only our Bible study but when approaching all lessons. I have created...

I wouldn’t go near it with a ten foot pole. All I knew of it was that there was a wizard. I wanted to stay well away from anything like that.
