Over the years I have collected and accumulated a number of, what I
call: "Bits and Pieces of Kingdom Wisdom and Revelations." This
book contains some of my favorite, power pack, key words of wisdom
and revelations. As you read you will understand my reason for
using this title. The little bits and pieces in this book will,
either, add too, or change your concept about certain views in
Christendom and kingdom insight. The title of this book is not
mentioned throughout the book; in reading you will, also,
understand why. For instance, this book is not written with much
detail, or with exhaustive information about any particular
subject. Most of my views are short with a proverbial fl avor; this
means, that sometimes it may seem as if you are actually, reading
proverbs. Some of these sayings might be viewed as, idioms, motto
and some, as I said, have the fl avor of a proverb, which from a
kingdom perspective, I believe, fit the messages in this book
perfectly. Most of these proverbial sayings were conceived in my
spirit and were birthed by the Holy Spirit, often times, when I was
in prayer. Many years have passed since I started recording these
sayings. I believe this book of Spirit filled wisdom should've been
blessing people everywhere long ago. My greatest desire for this
book is that every reader will discover a greater passion for
purpose, and a greater desire to grow in kingdom revelation, which
will be beneficial for kingdom living. This book contains a wealth
of, what I believe to be: wise spiritual snacks, lunch and
occasionally, readers might discover a full meal to dine on, which
is-without a doubt-good for the spirit, soul and body.
Learn to Preach Expository Sermons with Excellence Many sermons
preached today lack the divine knowledge and spiritual
understanding available only through dynamic expository preaching.
In Preaching: How to Preach Biblically, John MacArthur's well-known
passion for the Bible combines with the expertise of faculty
members at The Master's Seminary to inspire and equip preachers in
effective biblical preaching. Preaching: How to Preach Biblically
flows from biblical foundations for expository preaching through a
detailed process of developing expositions and creating sermons to
the actual delivery of expository messages, connecting what pastors
learn in seminary with the sermons preached in a local church. This
volume shows how to progress purposefully from one phase to the
next in preparing to minister to God's people through preaching.
This book answers these questions and more: What is expository,
biblical preaching? What are the theological and historical
foundations for insisting on expository preaching? What are the
steps involved in preparation for and participation in biblical
preaching? What models exist for expository preaching today? The
Master's Seminary faculty, with over thirty years' experience in
preaching and seminary training of preachers, contributes a
treasury of expertise alongside insights from expositor John
MacArthur. While united on their commitment to exposition, the
variety of individual expressions and methodological preferences
discussed offers beneficial assistance for any preacher seeking a
higher level of expository excellence.
School Education, the third volume of Charlotte Mason's
Homeschooling Series, consists of thoughts about the teaching and
curriculum of children aged 9-12, either at school or at home. She
suggests that parents should practice what she calls "masterly
inactivity"-not neglectful or permissive parenting, but simply
allowing children to work things out for themselves, do things for
themselves, learn from their own mistakes, and to have time for
free play, and space for spontaneity. Charlotte Mason education
uses "living books" instead of dry textbooks; in this book, she
discusses what kinds of books to look for in each subject, and how
to use them to teach children to love knowledge and become real
readers and lifelong learners. Charlotte Mason was a late
nineteenth-century British educator whose ideas were far ahead of
her time. She believed that children are born persons worthy of
respect, rather than blank slates, and that it was better to feed
their growing minds with living literature and vital ideas and
knowledge, rather than dry facts and knowledge filtered and
pre-digested by the teacher. Her method of education, still used by
some private schools and many homeschooling families, is gentle and
flexible, especially with younger children, and includes first-hand
exposure to great and noble ideas through books in each school
subject, conveying wonder and arousing curiosity, and through
reflection upon great art, music, and poetry; nature observation as
the primary means of early science teaching; use of manipulatives
and real-life application to understand mathematical concepts and
learning to reason, rather than rote memorization and working
endless sums; and an emphasis on character and on cultivating and
maintaining good personal habits. Schooling is teacher-directed,
not child-led, but school time should be short enough to allow
students free time to play and to pursue their own worthy interests
such as handicrafts. Traditional Charlotte Mason schooling is
firmly based on Christianity, although the method is also used
successfully by secular families and families of other religions.
Parents and Children consists of a collection of 26 articles from
the original Parent's Review magazines to encourage and instruct
parents. Topics include The Family; Parents as Rulers; Parents as
Inspirers; Parents as Schoolmasters; The Culture of Character;
Parents as Instructors in Religion; Faith and Duty (a secular
writer has useful suggestions for using myths and stories to teach
morals; along with the Bible, these can give examples of noble
characters to emulate); Parents' Concern to Give the Heroic
Impulse; Is It Possible?; Discipline; Sensations and Feelings
Educable by Parents; What is Truth? (Dealing with Lying); Show
Cause Why; A Scheme Of Educational Theory; A Catechism of
Educational Theory; Whence and Whither; The Great Recognition
Required of Parents; and The Eternal Child. Charlotte Mason was a
