Because the Law defines sin and since nobody on earth can measure up to its standards, it condemns the whole world. Nobody will ever be able to restore themselves to right standing with God by doing what the Law says, because that which is imperfect can never perfect itself. Fortunately, God has provided a means of restoration through the blood of Yeshua. All who trust him and commit to faithfulness to him receive this forgiveness and restoration without regard to any obedience or disobedience to the Law. Jew and Gentile are all condemned together because of their guilt under the Law and so are forgiven together according to God's grace by no merit or accomplishment of their own. (Romans 3:19-30)

Our faithfulness to Yeshua's instructions doesn't mean that we are free to ignore the Law that was given before him. On the contrary, we uphold the Law! (Romans 3:31)

We are not to continue in the sin which once enslaved us! Through his perfect obedience and through his death, Yeshua set us free from the bondage to disobedience, and brought us to life again with him. We are now free to live according to his righteous standards. We are to be obedient as faithful slaves of the Law-giver. We were once slaves to sin, being condemned by our disobedience to the Law, but are now slaves to righteousness, obedient according to Yeshua's instructions. (Romans 6:1-18)

The Law of Moses is good, but it becomes evil to those who try to earn their way into God's favor through obedience. By their refusal to believe in God's grace, they have made the Law an impossible standard. However, Yeshua came to restore its original meaning and purpose. He is the focus, the standard, the living illustration of the Law for all who believe him. We don't have to fear that God will condemn us for every failure or misunderstanding. We have only to look to Yeshua and to his righteousness. He told us how to obey and showed us a perfect standard of righteousness, and through his blood, the shame of our disobedience is removed in God's sight and our faith is counted as righteousness. We are saved from condemnation by his righteousness. Whatever our nationality at birth, God has declared us to be his people. By living in faith according to the righteous standard set by Yeshua, God has made us to be an example of righteousness and a call to repentance to those who were born into Israel but still do not believe. (Romans 10)

Happy Tuesday! I have decided to talk about homeschooling today, but even if you're not a homeschooling mom, I think you'll appreciate the practical side of these posts. Today is ALL about being practical and realistic in our choices and time. I hope you'll love it! https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/BDAUE

We're in the process of recording a new song, and I got to break out the 12 string guitar for a turn.

On this date in history, 06/20/1777: General John Burgoyne issues a proclamation calling for a counter-insurgency against the Revolution and threatening retaliation at the hands of allied Indian tribes if he is not heeded. #otd #tdih https://www.historycarper.com/....1777/08/21/the-north

Recently, a concerning documentary was released, presenting a pretty one-sided and generalized view on homeschooling and big families. For twenty years, I’ve weirdly been compared to Michelle Duggar; so when this series came out, painting her in all kinds of bad colors, I ended up with 11 pages of response notes! Join me for a three part series on my big family homeschooling mom testimony and what I believe is the real reason the Shiny Happy People documentary was made.

Have you wondered how we got where we are with the American education system? Why are schools, teachers, and administrators at odds with so many families? Don't we have the same goals and objectives? I guess the answer is no we don't.

“Education should aim at destroying free will so that after pupils are thus schooled they will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished … When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for more than one generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.” - German Philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte.

Could our current system of education be based upon this belief? I found this article extremely interesting,.

I came across this information as I was doing background research for a study on Proverbs.

In Proverbs 1:1-7 we learn,

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: 2 To know wisdom and instruction, To discern the sayings of understanding, 3 To receive instruction in wise behavior,
Righteousness, justice, and integrity; 4 To give prudence to the naive, To the youth knowledge and discretion, 5 A wise person will hear and increase in learning, And a person of understanding will acquire wise counsel, 6 To understand a proverb and a saying, The words of the wise and their riddles. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The word that launched this we the word, KNOW, which has great meaning and application. In this case, it can mean to become skilled in wisdom, instruction, and to discern sayings of understanding.

If the goal of our education system is to destroy free will and to prevent us from free thinking, this is in opposition of the Word of God which then sets our minds and hearts free so that we may have free will with by which we may choose Him.
