Heart to Heart Legacy of Love

1 Corinthians 16:13-14 “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Let all that you do be done with love.” “ Never pray for an easier life—pray to be a stronger person! Never pray for tasks equal to your power—pray for power equal to your tasks.” Quote from Phillips Brooks in “Streams in the Desert.” Dear Moms, This is what you all must face. Most of us feel inadequate and ill-equipped. However, God will give you the strength and inspiration you need to go the distance with your children. This last week I walked into my daughter Christina’s home to pick her up for a birthday shopping trip. I would hold Everett (2 months) (her 4th boy). That was my job and a joyous one I will forever cherish. Her husband Jarret would take care of the other brothers. Then, to my delight, I saw in her dining room a message written on a large chalk board for her boys , Liam 7 years, Owen 5 years and Deacon 3 years. It was so memorable, I would like you all to see it. She heard it on a podcast from Bonni Levy Greiner. Family Values 1. We are thankful 2. We don’t hurt anyone or anything 3. We are born to be a witness for Jesus 4. We don’t lie ( Liam, their son thought of this) 5. We learn to be content in all things 6. We obey our parents at all times These were accumulated from various articles and podcasts Rules for Dinner 1. Complement the meal 2. Don’t start eating before everyone sits down 3. Stay at the table until everyone is finished 4. Share something good that happened 5. Share something you wish would have gone differently 6. Share how you helped somebody

Home schooling is about passing down a legacy of Biblical truth. It is about fighting the good fight in faith and prayer with God’s love. I loved this practical way to remind children of what they need to know and how they need to act. I think it would help you all accomplish your goal to raise and train godly children who are going to some-day walk in the destiny God has prepared ahead of time for them to fulfill! Love you all!

A Word to Fathers ~ Bill Stephens

Be Brave

I just finished a new biography on Eric Liddell, “For the Glory, Eric Liddell’s Journey from Olympic Champi-on to Modern Martyr”. If you remember, Eric Liddell was the main focus of the movie, “Chariots of Fire” which was made in 1981. (Worth renting if you haven’t seen it.) The book tells the story of his 1924 Paris Olympic victory in the 400 meter race but also how he left fame and glory to be a missionary in China. If you aren’t familiar with the story, Eric Liddell refused to run on Sunday and therefore would not compete in the race he was sure to win. He instead ran the 400 meter race on Monday and set a new world record. He went from hero to villain in a matter of hours back to hero once he won the race. It struck me throughout the book how brave he was. I believe he was brave because of two character traits.

1. Eric Liddell lived out his life before an audience of One. Once he decided not to run on the Sabbath he could not be moved. Everyone in British royalty except the king tried to talk him out of his position but he refused to be persuaded. Bravery is the rarest of human qualities. If you love the praise of men, you will hate the vilification. Eric Liddell has inspired me to be braver.

2. Eric Liddell lived a life of sacrifice. You can be brave if you truly put the needs of others above your own. When Eric was in China the world was sliding into another world war. Eric preached to the Chinese (he was fluent in Mandarin) in the midst of Communist, Nationalist, and the invading Japanese. All three of these ar-mies hated missionaries from Europe. Eric died of a brain tumor why being held in a Japanese internment camp six months before the surrender of the Japanese.

Next month I will share another one of Eric Liddell’s virtues.

GENERATION JOSHUA CLUB - JOIN NOW!!!

I hope all of you are having an amazing summer. As life goes by, it is important to value the liberties and benefits that we enjoy every day as Americans. Over the years, countless men and women have fought, sacrificed, and even died to protect the nation that we love. The Generation Joshua Club, will equip students to carry on the legacy of liberty and justice that we hold so dear. GenJ Club members meet once a month to pray for our nation, register voters, write letters to the editor and to the legis-lator and be ready on short notice to be involved in campaigns for pro-family, conservative candi-dates. Make sure that your GenJ membership is active because we have some great things coming up this November (Student Action Teams, anyone?). Come check us out! www.generationjoshua.org/GenJ.

The vision behind GenJ Clubs has its roots in Alexander Hamilton's Christian Constitutional Socie-ty. Hamilton's vision was cut short after he fell prey to the bullet of Aaron Burr, but his vision can still become reality today. GenJ Clubs are a great way to broaden Generation Joshua's vision of de-veloping your civics education and training, maintaining freedom, and creating an infrastructure of well-equipped Christian young people who will lead our nation and world in the generations to come.

GENERATION JOSHUA CLUB MEETING TIMES: We meet from 12:15-200 pm the third Friday of each month at Chino Valley Community Church (CVCC) upstairs in the Friday School Art Room. If you are interesting in joining or would like more information call Joy Jacks at (626) 280-6261 or email juliejacks4@att.net.

COST: One-Year Student Membership: $35 or One-Year Family Membership: $90 This member-ship is good for one year and covers all dependent children (up to 19 years of age). Members for par-ents/guardians are included. ————————————————————————————————————————————-

MAKE A DIFFERENCE! STUDENT ACTION TEAMS

Generation Joshua is organizing hundreds of volunteers to deploy this fall to select elections across the United States. They will be the final adrenaline needed to make a difference in these races. If you want to be a part of this incredible opportunity, you need to join GenJ and volunteer on the Student Action Teams! We will be working in races across the country. We have historically targeted states like: Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Iowa, and New Hampshire.

What is a Student Action Team? Generation Joshua’s Student Action Teams (SATs), supported by HSLDA’s federal and state political action committees, provide young people (ages 11-19) practical hands on experience to go with their civics education by volunteering in political races on behalf of conservative, pro -life, pro-family can-didates. Since the fall of 2004, teams of high school and college aged students have worked on Presi-dential, House, Senate, and Gubernatorial campaigns across America. They have conducted phone banking, literature dropping, and campaigning resulting in remarkable successes. It is evident that dedicated young people can positively impact the political world and learn how to run for office some-day. Student Action Teams are the vehicles that help tomorrow’s leaders elect the leaders of today.

How much does it cost to participate in a Student Action Team? All of your basic lodging and food costs will be covered while on the Student Action Team. As Gener-ation Joshua begins to coordinate details for specific races we will have a better idea of how transpor-tation costs will be handled.

Tips for Preparing Your Student for College

Having a high school diploma is important but it doesn’t guarantee that you will be able to get

into college. It can be a difficult process these days. Here are 12 tips/suggestions for students

considering college entrance:

1. Plan ahead. When you know what college you want to go to, go to their website to make

sure that you are taking the courses that they recommend.

2. Align your course titles with those of Western Christian so that the colleges will recognize

what you have been doing.

3. Check the Western Christian website to see what courses CSU and UC want you to take.

4. Check these websites for more information about how to get into college as a homeschool-

er: Look at https://secure.californiacolleges.edu/College Planning/Prepare for College/

Home Schooling.aspx and http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/

homeschool/index.html (or google “How do homeschoolers get into college?”).

5. Be involved in the community so that you can talk about your experiences and the ways

that you have made a difference to people. Colleges want smart and academic students,

but they also want people who can change the world for the better.

6. Find out what you do well, do it, and learn how to write about it. Colleges are looking for

you to explain to them why you are “head and shoulders better” than the others who are

also applying to college.

7. Take the tests. Take the SAT. Take the ACT. Take the SAT II subject tests. Find objec-

tive ways to prove that you are who you say you are. Test taking is a learned skill. Prac-

tice, practice, practice.

8. Take AP courses and their corresponding tests.

9. Take some community college courses or enroll in the part-time program at Western

Christian. This is another way to show that you are as good a student as your mother

thinks you are.

10. Make sure that you have all the courses that Western Christian requires for a diploma.

11. Most importantly, pray for God to go before you in this whole process.

12. Remember that it is hard to get into many college programs today, so you should have

several options. Don’t put all your hopes and dreams into one program unless you have

figured out several ways to get there.

Intro to Latin is a one-year high school level class.

Latin was the dominant language of most of Europe (The Roman Empire) for well over 1,000 years and has greatly influenced the English language (for example, from the Latin “scribere”, we get scripture, prescribe,

description, scribble, inscribe, etc.). It is the basis for the “Romance” languages of Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian. Knowing even a bit of Latin makes learning any of those languages easier. It also greatly increases our English vocabulary!

In this class we will be introduced to the Latin language. As we will only meet once per week, we will not cover every-thing typically covered in a year-long Latin I course; hence the class title: “Intro to Latin”. This class will provide a firm foundation on which to build should you desire to continue your studies in Latin or one of the Latin-based languages mentioned above.

High School Biology Biology is most exciting (and most truthful) when it is taught and learned in the context of our awesome Creator. His creation certainly reflects the majesty, wisdom, and power of God. Unfortunately, secular science is often taught in such a way as to become a stumbling block to the development of our faith. Science can instead be a stepping-stone to faith – the evidence for design is everywhere, especially in Biology! This course is taught with a Creation perspective. We will use the Apologia book, “Exploring Creation with Biology”. Topics include the five kingdoms of life, the chemistry of life, cell structure and function, genetics, ecology, evolution (as a theory), as well as plant, animal, and human biology. Each week we will have a one-hour lecture/discussion period (generally using PowerPoint slides), followed by a one-hour lab. Course Fee: $300/semester, plus enrollment fee, $30 Instructor: Matthew H. Sanders, matthensan@gmail.com or (626) 244-5462 Matthew has a MS in Biology from the Institute for Creation Research. He is currently an adjunct professor at Azusa Pacific University. Matthew has taught high school chemistry and physics with the EIE home school program in Monro-via, CA. He has also taught at Christbridge Academy in Azusa, CA; AP Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, US His-tory, Government, Economics, and Personal Values/Bible classes. Matthew created and taught a science course for the Upward Bound program at Cal Poly Pomona. see www.mattsanders.info for more information

HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY This course provides a rigorous foundation in chemistry in preparation for college-level chemistry. Topics covered in-clude significant figures, units, classification, the mole concept, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, thermodynamics, kinet-ics, acids and bases, redox reactions, solutions, atomic structure, Lewis structures, molecular geometry, the gas laws, and equilibrium. The lab period will alternate between Chemistry labs and a math tutoring time. Students often have difficultly under-standing the math that goes with each chapter, so we will focus on that every other week. We will still do at least one lab with each chapter. We will spend approximately two weeks on each chapter. Students will be given pages to read each day at home, and questions to answer. Short quizzes will be given for each chapter online. Mr. Sanders is always available by phone or email, and is happy to answer any questions or concerns that arise. These are available as a set from Berean Builders Pub. for $65.

The goal of Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is to challenge students to critically evaluate what they have learned through-out their education. It provides an opportunity for students to reflect on the nature of knowledge. God has revealed the most important truths about Himself and our salvation. While holding firmly then that there is truth, each discipline (history, social sciences, physical sciences, the arts, ethics and mathematics) is evaluated in terms of its methodology and limitations and in terms of the truth claims which these disciplines make. Each individual needs to be prepared to give an answer for their hope in Christ (1 Peter 3:15) and perhaps for our academic beliefs as well. TOK equips students to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. For 11th and 12th graders, the yearlong curriculum systematically evaluates the different ways of knowing, such as: perception, reason, logic, language, faith, memory, imagination and intuition. Assignments will include weekly readings from the text and written responses as well as occasional research projects, a formal essay once a month, and a formal presentation each semester.

This is a full year course. Will cover skills required to proceed into High School Algebra, and students completing it will be WELL PREPARED for Algebra 1. **I get asked often, which math should my Jr Higher be doing?” If your student does a decent job (80% average) on basic mathematics, especially multiplication & division, and maybe ok on fractions, he/she should take Pre-Algebra. The current “fashionable” trend in education these days (public and private) is that stu-dents should take Algebra I in 8th grade, which would mean Pre-Alg in 7th. This works for some, and is (in my opinion) a GRAVE mistake for a lot of others! According to Bob Jones, this is an 8th grade curriculum. This class is available, as well, to High School students who require additional work on the basics! Call me if you need to talk about any of this! Starts right out working with equations, covering properties of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Will move into decimals, integers, multiples, factors, fractions, equations and inequalities, ratio, proportion, percentages, ge-ometry and graphing. Emphasis through entire text is on equations and solving them, using all the mathematical concepts introduced. These basic skills would be prerequisite for an Algebra course. Students will learn concepts in class, and then complete daily assignments at home. TEACHER’S EDITION REQUIRED - daily homework to be corrected by parent and/or student.

My goal is to make the study of American history as interesting, interactive and relevant to the modern world. The course is intended to stretch one’s mind and challenge assumptions while examining the major events in US history. It will extend into the contemporary United States and how American history has an impact on current world issues such as globalization, economic interdependence and terrorism. Current events are integrated into the curriculum so that stu-dents can see modern connections between the past, present, and possible future scenarios and enhance their full under-standing of US history while contributing to a deeper understanding of the Founding Father’s original intent. “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years tell-ing our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” -Ronald Regan, 40th President of the United States Teacher: Michael Bunda, BA Organizational Management, Financial Planner and avid Historian.

Can God be tempted? Are there really contradictions in the Bible, and can it be relied upon for historical ac-

curacy? What is scriptural authority; does it matter? How does a skeptical world impact your view? People

too often focus on what seem like contradictions or errors in the bible, then use them to create doubt in the

minds of believers. The Bible is increasingly under attack from every direction and believers have to KNOW

what they believe in order to defend their faith. Whether secular scholars or those trying to tie in evolution-

ary concepts to match origin explanations that are not Biblical, the accuracy and relevance of the Bible is at

question. Students will learn important details that can strengthen your confidence in the Bible’s inerrant na-

ture. Discover how the Bible proves itself and the insights you will need to strengthen your faith and defend

God’s Word! Homeschool Curriculum was created and designed to train high school students in the ultimate

authority of the Bible. Apologetics in Action, Volumes 1 & 2 of Demolishing Supposed Bible Contradic-

tions and How Do We Know the Bible Is True?
