Biblical Education

I'm 41 today.  I hope my 42nd year will be one of being "diligent to show myself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth" (2Timothy 2:15).   I pray that I will (paraphrasing Colossians 1:28) proclaim Christ, admonishing and teaching my children with all wisdom, that I may present them complete in Christ, and that I will labor for this purpose, "striving according to His power which mightily works within me".  (Colossians. 1:29)
      And this is why we use the Weaver Curriculum.  We believe knowledge of God and His Word is the most important knowledge the kids can possess.  
     A while back in our "home education journey", having tried the classical approach, the Charlotte Mason method, and literature-based unit studies (among others), we began to question more deeply our real purpose and goals in educating our children.  

• What does it matter if they "speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love" for God and others?  
• What is truly the point of knowing "all mysteries and all knowledge" without loving and knowing God? (referencing 1 Corinthians 13:1-2)    
• So what if they've read every great book in the Sonlight catalog or every "living book" on commendable book lists.  Can any of them (or even all of them taken together) claim to be "inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be fully adequate, equipped for every good work" (2Timothy 3:16-17)?  
•  And why, really, why in the world am I willing to teach an entire year on the Little House on the Prairie (or the Chronicles of Narnia or various topics such as sharks or castles), but doubt the validity of teaching based on God's Word?

     So here we are nearly a year into Weaver, enjoying it immensely, learning an incredible amount on a whole variety of topics.  Most significantly, tho, we are finding that indeed the Scriptures are more than sufficient for all we need to know.
