10/6/25 - The Language of Creation
Did you know your children are learning a foreign language in their math classes?
The famous astronomer, Galileo, once said "The great book of nature can be read only by those who know the language in which it was written. And this language is mathematics."
This fits exactly with what the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 1:20, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Writing for The Imaginative Conservative, Kate Deddens reminds us that when students ask in frustration, “Why should I learn this?” we can explain that mathematics is one way to worship God. It is the numerical language we use to describe His creation.

10/7/25 - Jefferson’s Theological Statement
Did you know that Thomas Jefferson based religious freedom on a theological idea?
Thomas Jefferson considered The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom one of his greatest achievements. He and James Madison wrote the law, and it strongly influenced the First Amendment just three years later.
Jefferson began the law with this theological idea:
“Almighty God hath created the mind free…all attempts to influence it by temporal punishments…are a departure from the plan of the Holy author of our religion.”
Can you imagine legislation today beginning with that?
Well, imagine this: public school students, today, learning about Jefferson’s theological idea that religious freedom comes from God who made our minds free. It can happen, and you can be the gateway to better education for students at your school. For more resources visit our HOME PAGE.
10/8/25 - The Environment & Intelligent Design
There are ways to expose public school students to a Christian worldview about creation without teaching them from Genesis.
In teaching about weather and clouds, a teacher can point out the difference between random chance (clouds looking like animals) and intelligent design (sky writing); or when studying rock formations or geography, a teacher can point out the difference between random chance and intelligent design by contrasting cliffs that look like faces on the one hand, and the faces carved into Mt. Rushmore. As Percival Davis and Dean Kenyon point out in their book, Of Pandas and People: The Central Question of Biological Origins: "Whenever we recognize a sequence as meaningful symbols, we assume it is the handiwork of some intelligent cause…If science is based upon experience, then science tells us the message encoded in DNA must have originated from an intelligent cause."

10/9/25 - A Gift of the Creator
A teenager wrote an influential pamphlet about God and government. The year was 1774.
Alexander Hamilton was only 18 years old in 1774 – just before the Revolutionary War. He wrote a popular political pamphlet and explained how our liberty comes from God. Not from government. He wrote:
“[N]atural liberty is a gift of the beneficent [kind] Creator to the whole human race, and civil liberty is founded in that,”
Hamilton wrote that civil liberty is what a government does to protect people’s God-given liberty. The Founders wrote so much about God and government you could have family’s devotions connecting their words to Scripture. In fact, we’ve done it for you.

10/10/25 - Choose Reason Over Emotion
Today’s culture too often emphasizes emotion over reason. But, living by passions and doing it in the name of freedom has brought bondage in people’s lives.
As the Apostle Peter pointed out, “They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and corruption. For you are a slave to whatever controls you.”
Today’s young people are told to find their own truth and follow their hearts. But what they need to hear are the words of Peter as he instructed us how to overcome our passions and live in true freedom. He wrote, “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever.”
