The Rest of the Rest (9/3/2011)

Parenting:
- Teaching our children Biblical truth is vital.  My wife and I have found that teaching them the catechism is one great way to do this.  I am thankful for the Vitco's for putting these wonderful truths to music.  You can get the music in many different ways here.  You can also find the written version here.

- Long Story Short is another great resource that makes family worship easy, significant, informative and Christ-centered.  Each devotional, which are less than ten minutes, contain a review, a passage of Scripture, questions regarding the passage, as well as instructions for the parents.  There is also a section that serves as a guide for prayer.

Since our evening plans usually vary, we come together for family worship in the mornings around the breakfast table.  We begin with catechism and review.  Then we move into LSS.  Last we pray together.  This is a great way to get the day started!

- Tim Challies writes a very insightful post/review on the book, Going Public: Your Child Can Thrive In Public School.  I have not read this book, but have ordered it and am very interested in the Prichard's point of view.  I do think this will be a great resource for those families who have a strong desire to educate their children in a way that honors the Lord, and who choose to do so in public schools.

Theology:
- Dr. Al Mohler of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary talks about why the historicity of Adam matters.  This is not a topic that a Christian should pass by.  The issue is brought up everywhere, especially in college universities.

Funny:
- This is from Justin Taylor's post, Pride Comes Before The Fall.  Kinda sad, but funny!
- Laugh your head off!

Social Issues:
- Here is another great article by Public Discourse entitled End Human Trafficking: A Contemporary Slavery.
- A ton of debt and the spending just continues.  Randy Alcorn posted this article about a government project that continues to spend needless dollars.
