February 2010

From the President’s Desk

Dear Friends,

It’s hard to believe that the first month of the year is gone.  It’s seems like yesterday we were putting up the Christmas decorations and now spring is just around the corner.  While considering what to write to you this month my thoughts turned to an idea that our church introduced for the New Year: a concerted effort to memorize portions of Scripture.  We have a list of about 40 or so Scripture passages, of different lengths. So everyone from the youngest to the oldest can participate.  Why not take one or two of the passage below and work on them as a family on a cold snowy night, which we still can get in February.  Getting God’s Word into your children’s hearts is part of what homeschooling is all about. It’s not just about reading, writing and arithmetic, but disciplining our children.  Below is a list of some suggested passages going from easy to difficult for teens and parents too.

    Matt. 28:18-20, The Great Commission
    Matt. 6:9-13, The Lord's Prayer
    Matt. 5:1-12, The Beatitudes
    Eph. 6:10-20, The Armor of God   
    Ps. 23, The Shepherd’s Psalm
    Ps. 51, The Penitent’s Prayer
    Ps. 91, Abiding in God’s Presence
    Gen. 1:1 -2:3, Creation
    John 17, Jesus Prays for His Disciples
    Rev. 21-22, New Heaven & a New Earth
    Prov. 2, Wisdom
    The book of James
    Hebrews 11, The Faith Chapter

You can take more than a month; take the whole year if you want.

On another note, ENOCH’s 20th Convention is just around the corner.  Check Enoch’s Website in March for more details.  This year’s Keynote Speakers are Steve and Teri Maxwell and Rebecca Ingram Powell.

Let us continue to remember to pray for the people of Haiti as they continue to struggle just to survive. 

In His Service,

Rich Millward
President
