Imparting Wisdom - Training Little Solomons

As Christians, we follow Christ, "[i]n whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Col. 2:3).Considering we worship "the only wise God our Saviour" (Jude 25), shouldn't we be marked by strong evidence of wisdom?Shouldn't we train children who also bear traces of the wisdom found in the "little child" Solomon, who became the wisest of all men?In this class, I will give eight (8) means by which we gain wisdom.As time permits, I will also give five (5) prerequisites needed to benefit from the means of wisdom. (FPEA: Saturday, 28 May 2010 in Orlando)

Literature Credit for Bible Study.

Want homeschooling credit for studying God’s Word?  Inspired Scripture is the most celebrated literature of all time.  Kids get credit for Shakespeare, Dickens, Twain, and Poe.  Do not children deserve equal credit for the Bible?  YES!  Reading, writing, comprehension, etc. are all contained.

Allen Wolfe, the author of Balancing the Sword, gave a presentation entitled, “Literature Credit for Bible Study,” at the FPEA convention in Orlando, FL on May 23, 2009 at 11:00 AM.   Parents learned how their children can earn literary and humanities credit while studying the Scripture.  Mr. Wolfe taught the Bible as a senior-level literature course at USF so that his students could learn God’s wisdom while also fulfilling the requirements of the second largest university in the state.  Long ago, public school boards assigned the Book of Job.  Now, liberal school boards are giving publicly educated children books that overtly promote sodomy.  Those who do not fear God are using literature to advance evil.  Why not use the ultimate treasure of purity and truth to shape the precious little minds of your children?  Learn statutory law, historical narratives, poetry, and more while hiding eternal principles in their hearts.  You may purchase the audio from Rhino Technologies once this most recent presentation is posted as an on-line product.  Learn more.

Balancing the Sword was designed to give you a comprehensive working knowledge of what the Bible actually says.

Balancing the Sword is a package including two books, software, and Web support.  The two volumes streamline and enhance the learning process by utilizing:

Each volume covers all 66 books of the Bible.  The Q&A approach of Balancing the Sword makes reading engaging.  Parents and group leaders love the references because the references distill hours of research down to seconds.  Images interlaced throughout will deepen your understanding and memory.

"Prime Time America" - Radio.  Paul Butler, an assistant professor of communications and a radio personality with the Moody Broadcasting Network, owns a set of Balancing the Sword books.  Mr. Butler was putting together a short audio piece on the discipleship of children.  Paul combined my remarks with those previously made by Dr. John Walton of Wheaton College.  It was an honor.  The 7:29-minute clip aired on Moody Radio's nationally syndicated "Prime Time America" on 14 August 2008.  Click here to listen.  On 15 August 2008, I contributed comments on the role of grandparents in the discipleship of their grandchildren.  Click here to listen.  (3:55 minutes)

Generations with Vision.  On August 3, 2009, I was honored to be have a brief segment with Kevin Swanson on Generations Radio.  The topic was the supremacy of the knowledge of God, teaching the technical knowledge of the Bible, and finding places of application.  Paul said to the Ephesians, “For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God” (Ac. 20:27).  Deuteronomy 6:7 and 11:19 tell us that the teaching of Scripture to our children must be so fluid that we can teach information and application in all the organic settings of life.  Success is not found in training children in the facts of the Bible alone.  Information is half the formula.  Finding appropriate applications makes our efforts complete.  Generations Radio airs on GenerationsWithVision, OnePlace.com, SermonAudio.com, and locally in Colorado.  The first half of the program is between Kevin Swanson and his co-host; the second half is between Kevin and myself.


Letter from a Military Wife and Mother

"Dear Mr. Wolfe,  
Thank you for your reply....  I have actually recommended your books/cd to several friends, and I know of at least one that has purchased it and is as happy with the software as we are....  It is a comfort for the kids and I to read daily what my husband is reading, even though he is a world away in Iraq.  It helps that the kids can ask him questions about what we are reading, and he is reading the same thing on the same day, and is able to answer our questions.  The printed schedule helps us both keep on track, and keeps us in the Word daily.  He just arrived back in country today, so I will print one out for him and for us and send his off tomorrow.  He will be happy to receive it and ask the kids questions about what they are reading as well.  Thank you for your product."
Dani M. in WA

Praise the Lord for our godly men who faithfully serve and guide their families while also fulfilling the noble obligations of providing our national security.  Would to God that we could motivate every dad who currently has discretionary time available with his family every night to lead in family-based Bible studies as Dani's husband is willing to do from the other side of the planet.  I've never met this man, but my hat goes off to Dani's husband!
