Greetings,
I used the first couple of days of the term break for some personal reading, but have since nearly completed the course curriculum for the next term starting at the end of September.
I've added additional material to the Discipleship class previously titled 'How to Study the Bible' by David Platt and now named 'Studying, Interpreting, and Trusting the Bible.' In addition to David Platt, I've added teachings by R. C. Sproul, John MacArthur, and Voddie Bauchman. One week's teaching is still TBD as is one week of Bonus Programming.
The primary tasks remaining is finding six more essays or similar material to distribute on a weekly basis for a total of 18, one per teaching lesson. If you know of any articles with a topic of studying, interpreting, and trusting the Bible (apologetics, canonicity, etc.) please forward the link to me.
The Christian Living classes will continue using the Malachi Dads curriculum. I also distribute weekly articles related to Christian Living, and though I have at least one article per week, I'm always looking for additional or fresh material. So again if you know of any articles focused on Christian Living, please share. Especially articles related to restoring relationships when the person seeking restoration has caused a lot of pain and is not willing to forgive. An all too frequent example is the children's mother not wanting herself nor the children to have any relationship with the children's father.
Persevering on through the Gospel and your prayers.
To Him be the glory!
