Teaching Our Children about Persecution, Part 1

Today our small church celebrates its 54thanniversary. Last week I discussed some of the history of my father’s work in education. I want to continue to discuss some of this history today. In the 1960’s and 70’s there were families who were home schooling, but it was certainly not as common as it is today. Christian schools were growing, but not all families either because of geography or finances could send their children to a Christian school. So there was a need for Christian education...

Welcome to There’s No Place Like Home. This is our third week looking at Scripture passages that I believe are foundational for Christian education and home schooling. The previous two weeks, I spoke from Deut. 6 and Psalm 78. Today I want to share from Ephesians 6:1-4. Listen to these verses. Eph. 6:1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Eph. 6:2“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: Eph. 6:3“that it may be well with you and...

Hello, friends, I am Pastor Calvin Lindstrom with Christian Liberty Academy School System. Welcome to There’s No Place Like Home. Last time, I discussed an overview of Scripture and God’s plan of redemption in terms of 14 C Sounds, an expansion of the 7 C’s of history developed by Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis. I want to review this overview and focus on a few of the points whose significance might not be as obvious. So let’s review and expand on a few of the points. Creation – Genesis...

Hello, friends, I am Pastor Calvin Lindstrom with Christian Liberty Academy School System. Welcome to There’s No Place Like Home. A number of years ago, Ken Ham and his ministry Answers in Genesis developed an overview of Scripture and history in a clever way that they called the 7 C’s of history. They even had a nice song to help you memorize them. The Seven C’s were: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, the Cross, Consummation. Overall this is a great overview, but as...

Hello, friends I am Pastor Calvin Lindstrom with Christian Liberty Academy School System. Welcome to There’s No Place Like Home. Today I want to speak about euphemisms. What is a euphemism? The word in Greek means well-speaking, but in English it means to use a word or expression for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing. Sometimes this involves using words in place of curse words. This is not what I am talking about. We should...

We continue today to explore the religious nature of law. I shared last week five points regarding law from the work of R. J. Rushdoony in The Institutes of Biblical Law. 1) Law is in every culture religious. 2) The source of law is the god of that society. 3) When laws change what is taking place is a change in religion. 4) You can’t get rid of religion in any society. 5) There can be no tolerance in a law system for another religion. If you understand these points you can understand...

About a half a year ago, I talked about the issue of socialization. How will home schooled children ever learn to interact with others if they don’t go to a regular school? I am hoping, though I don’t have definite proof, that this objection is raised less today than it was a generation ago. I came across a great piece of satire written about this issue involving Tim Tebow. The website is called Unverified Source. No author was listed, but it was a brilliant take on the issue with the...

Can you believe we are now in 2019? Next year is 2020. It struck me just the other day how quickly time is passing. I want to bring a message of challenge and encouragement for the new year today through two passages from Scripture.

What do we know about Mary, the one whom God would use in such an important way? This episode will explore what we do know. As we celebrate this season, the focus of our attention obviously must be on the Lord Jesus Christ. As we give thanks, let us also be thankful for the faithful mother that God used in the life of our Lord. And may the Lord bless and strengthen the godly mothers today who train their children to fear the Lord.

Stories of people who are coming to terms with the place they now call home, the United States... On a recent weekend in Beaverton, Oregon, we met up with Maria Garcia who is a Mexican immigrant, It was the middle of the day and an after-work rush at her small business tienda located at a shopping alcove right off of highway. She’s middle-aged, short, and bubbly. When we arrived, Maria didn’t want to be on film but was eager to share her story. When Maria was a 15 years old, she crossed the...
