All of these classes may be enhanced and improved by adding biblical themes to the study.  For example: "Agriculture Methods and Records" becomes the class "Agriculture Methods and Records in Relation to the Book of Ruth" or "Reading" becomes "Reading and Reflection from the Psalms"

Parents: YOU decide what you need your children to learn and not learn.  YOU as a parent know your culture and your need to study specific biblical themes.  If a person is under persecution, then simply study the bible alone and just teach basic life skills.  For those who follow betrothal marriage methods, feel free to allow the child to decide for themselves and in relationship with God to make marriage choices (16-20 age group) while continuing to encourage and enhance studies well into adult years.

Provision when times seem difficult....

If you have food and clothing for your children for the next couple of weeks, you already have a lot on hand.

If you have a shelter to live within, you have a protection from the elements of wind, sun, rain, snow, you are living in wealth.  Some families share a home.  Others live in a camper and children have the ability to spend hours outdoors among birds, animals and fishes.

Do you know that there are wild-foods available in many corners of the world?  Look up the wild-edible foods in your area.  Milk-weed, cattail, bark of trees......

Do you know how to bake your own bread?  Many people dream of getting flour to make a meal for their children.

Do you have a bible in your hand?  The bible will give you advice on how to manage your character so that you can manage a job.  Any job will do.  Janitor.  Waitress.  Cook.  Repair Man. Plumber.  Electrician.  No job is too small.  Think about weaving baskets.  Think about reselling bulk foods.  Think about sewing some clothes.  Think about reselling some recycled material into useful material.  You do not need a "degree" to work.

Can you grow garden?  Perhaps growing some sunflowers could benefit your family.  Nearly the entire sunflower plant is edible.

Is there injustice in your area?  Weep for those who sin in your area.  The false accusers.  The mockers.  The proud......

No money for the laundry?  Try learning how to hand-wash clothes.  It only takes one early morning a week to do laundry for a family of five.  Save money for a wringer.  Hand wring the clothes between rolling pins until affordable.  A simple tote or Tupperware trashcan can wash many clothes with a plunger as well.

Yes, you can educate your own children without a lot in your pocket.  Yes, you can educate your own children

Have you no books to buy to educate your children?  A simple slate and a little reading and reciting can go much further than the finest program on the internet or finest tutor in the world.  A notebook filled with the child's copywork and recitation shows much more effective learning than owning the finest textbooks.

Family Character Improvement Goals

Each family may approach "character" differently based on tradition, based on culture, based on experience and based on knowledge acquired.  One of the BEST things you can do for your family is WRITE DOWN ultimate goals your family should have in order to create listening ears, attentive eyes and happy hearts.

Some Character topics are discussed in NON-CHRISTIAN homes and are effectively applied.  It does not mean that Christianity and Christ's eternal presence is not needed in those homes, it just means that the general principles are taught.  Some NON-CHRISTIAN homes apply character principles for children better than Christian homes due to experience of suffering or other matters.

Here is an example of general Character rules that can be applied to any home, Christian and Non-Christian.

1. Use soft and kind words even if you can't solve a problem.  Kindly ask for help.
2. Find many opportunities to smile and be thankful for others.
3. Find ways to praise other's godly character, achievements and accomplishments.
4. Always use manners and be respectful of others and their belongings.
5. Always do right, even when others may not and when no one is looking.
6. Practice using listening/ empathy skills and understand how others feel.  Allow Holy Spirit to correct those in error along with # 24.
7. Be thankful for how you were created by God.  Find ways to honor him by obeying his word in that reguard.
8. Never mock, tease or put others down.
9. Never argue, complain or blame others for their behaviour.  Pray for them in secret.
10. Speak to an accountability prayer/partner (spouse or brother/sister).
11. Do not boss or try to take control of others or try to meddle into their business and privacy for selfish gain.
12. Clearly communicate how you have been hurt using the word "I" never "you" and stating the problem with kind words and actions.  Along with #9.  Approach anger in a kind manner.
13. Forgive immediately.
14. Look for ways to serve others with no though of self gain.
15. Think pure thoughts about self and others.  Put no stumbling block before those who are weak.
16. Put no wicked thing before your eyes.  Psa 101:3
17. Never, gossip, tale-bear or listen agreeably to those who speak reproachfully of others.  Only report truthful dangers.
18. Never raise a hand to hit.
19. Never raise a foot to kick.
20. Never raise an object to throw.
21. Never raise a voice to yell.
22. Never raise an eye to scowl.
23. Never use body or objects to harm or injure others in any way (pushing, spitting, bonking etc)
24. Never lift up nose to think pridefully of self as better than others in any area or subject.
25. Share toys/objects/activities.  Use or do one activity at a time.
26. Do your best to keep surroundings neat, clean and organized.  Clean up after your own mess.
27. Always approach daily tasks in a quiet peaceable manner without grumbling or complaining.  Organize and do things orderly.
28. Never let the sun go down on your wrath.  Don't go to bed angry or guilty.
29. Jesus first, other's second, yourself last.

(Mat 16:9)  Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
(Mat 16:10)  Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
(Mat 16:11)  How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
(Mat 16:12)  Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
(Mat 16:13)  When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
(Mat 16:14)  And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
(Mat 16:15)  He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
(Mat 16:16)  And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
(Mat 16:17)  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

(Mat 16:19)  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
(Mat 16:20)  Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
(Mat 16:21)  From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
(Mat 16:22)  Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
(Mat 16:23)  But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
(Mat 16:24)  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
(Mat 16:25)  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
(Mat 16:26)  For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Ezekiel (Eze 26:1)  And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
(Eze 26:2)  Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:
(Eze 26:3)  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.
(Eze 26:4)  And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
(Eze 26:5)  It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
(Eze 26:6)  And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
(Eze 26:7)  For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
(Eze 26:8)  He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
(Eze 26:9)  And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
(Eze 26:10)  By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
(Eze 26:11)  With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
(Eze 26:12)  And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
(Eze 26:13)  And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
(Eze 26:14)  And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
(Eze 26:15)  Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
(Eze 26:16)  Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.
(Eze 26:17)  And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!
(Eze 26:18)  Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
(Eze 26:19)  For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
(Eze 26:20)  When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
(Eze 26:21)  I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.
