By Grace Through Faith
A Transformative Homeschool Course

Welcome to your transformative journey by grace through faith. Here’s what you can expect from this course:

The classes will be informal and friendly. Rather forcing students to memorize canned answers, this journey teaches the students how to find the answers. The lessons encourage the students to think and seek God. The teacher or parent is there as a coach and mentor.

There are 188 lessons, which could be divided into a single year, two years, or four years. Each unit adds an additional element to those 188 since each of the 15 units begins with an article. That means you have 15 articles in addition to 188 lessons.

The materials will be left in MS Word format so you can edit and adapt this course for your particular situation. Feel free to read ahead and add or remove elements as you like.

Wednesday’s Featured FREE Book: “Exposing the Real Creation-Evolution Debate”
Download it FREE here: https://realreality.org/exposing-the-real-creation-evolution-debate/

Pastors, teachers, and leaders, take a look at the new class about how to talk about Jesus without getting into arguments. We’ve been taught ways that don’t work. Because of the frustration of doing what doesn’t work, many Christians have just stopped trying to bring others to Christ. This is different.  Never be afraid to ask someone with a godless argument how they know. If what they say isn’t true, they can’t give you a rational answer. They expose the foolishness of the lie when they try to give a reason for the lie.

Christ is the Light the Holy Spirit is intensifying in us.
“A Light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel”
(Luke 2:32).

We also know God has called us to grow to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13 KJV).

You are children of Light if you continue to listen to the One Who IS Light and yield to His Spirit. The darkness won’t blind those who walk in the righteousness of Christ. Those who are walking in the Spirit don’t have to fear the judgments that God is bringing on the earth.

“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of Light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober” (1 Thessalonians 5:2-6 KJV).

The Holy Spirit has been leading us toward a coming event the Bible calls “the manifestation of the sons of God.” As we have walked, the Holy Spirit has been transfiguring us: growing Christ in us while removing the fleshly veil.

Pastors, teachers, and leaders, take a look at the new learning system about how to talk about Jesus without getting into arguments. We’ve been taught ways that don’t work. Because of the frustration of doing what doesn’t work, many Christians have just stopped trying to bring others to Christ. This is different. No lie can stand up to the Light.

“the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations” (Joel 2:1b-2 KJV).

At the same time, some will walk in the Light while others walk in gross darkness.

Everyone will see the visible glory of God in His people. Some will come to the Light just as some have always come to the Light. Others will run from the Light into darkness. And they will find darkness beyond what mankind has ever found.

Those who walk in the darkness will completely lose the distinction between right and wrong and between reality and make-believe.

Look around. Many have already lost that distinction.

Today, that contrast between Light and darkness has intensified beyond what we would have thought possible. God knows all about the current darkness of the world and the Light that’s beginning to rise in intensity in His called-out people.

We know Christ is that Light, and He lives within every person who’s born again. In the church, some are seeking to listen to God’s leading and yield to the Holy Spirit as never before. Others want nothing to do with the Holy Spirit of the leading of God. They go so far as to say, “God no longer leads anyone.” They want to do what they want to do. They are satisfied with a religion that strokes the ego, entertains the flesh, and stimulates the intellect.

Some Christians want everything to stay as it is. They want nothing to change. Of course, that’s an empty hope. We are at the time of decision-making now.

In our present condition, we haven’t fully conformed to the image and likeness of Christ. And we can’t be satisfied with that condition. The Holy Spirit wants to change us completely into the image of Christ. The forces of spiritual wickedness want to destroy humanity.

Jeremiah 9:13-15 And the LORD says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

Ezekiel 13:17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them

Ezekiel 13:22-23 Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: Therefore you shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and you shall know that I am the LORD.

THE PRODIGAL SON

The story is told in the Scriptures of old,
How a young man left his home.
Traded his life and the Father’s love,
For dreams that were bright in his mind.
Away to a far and distant land,
To fickle friends that he found.
Wasted his life and fortune there,
And ended up feeding swine.

Alone and far away from home,
A famine was in the land.
He would feign have eaten the husks,
That he fed to the swine.
His heart, it yearned for home,
And His Father’s bosom blessed.
He cried and said, “I will arise,
And go to my Father’s home.

Coming home.
Coming home.
Coming home.
Coming home Today.

As He was still a long way off,
His Father looked and saw,
His wandering boy now coming home.
He welcomed him with joy.
And so today there’s many a one,
That’s wandered away from home,
And turned their backs on God’s great love,
To make a way of their own.

So, if you have wandered away,
And your dreams have fled and gone,
The husks of life is bitter now,
And your heart does yearn for home,
Remember the Father that welcomed home,
The one that had wandered away.
With arms outstretched each day God waits,
To welcome the wanderer home.

Coming home.
Coming home.
Coming home.
Coming home Today.

THE LORD MY SHEPHERD CARES FOR ME

The Lord, my Shepherd, cares for me,
No want shall I forever see.
Though oft cast down, He leadeth me,
My soul restores again to me.

By waters still in pastures green,
I walk with God and He with me,
Within the paths of righteousness,
My hand in His, He leadeth me.

He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
Through valleys that are dark as death.
A table He prepares for me,
In presence of my enemies.

The Spirit’s flow annointeth me,
His blood was shed on Calvary.
And in God’s House my rest shall be.
A dwelling place eternally.

God leads us. We either listen or we don’t. We either yield to His Spirit or we don’t. Is that too simple? No. God’s ways are simple. The rationalizations of the fleshly mind try to complicate God‘s ways. When we struggle against temptations, sickness, injury, unforgiveness, depression, or any other symptom of the fleshly nature, we’re allowing our fleshly natures to take over the job of defeating the fleshly nature. That makes God’s ways seem complex, but God’s ways are simple. We don’t need to work to defeat the sinful flesh. We need only listen to God’s leading and yield to God’s Spirit.

THE LORD IS MY GREAT SHEPHERD SO I WILL NOT SUFFER WANT

The Lord is my great Shepherd, so I will not suffer want.
His water is now flowing in a living, moving fount.
And though I often falter, Jesus always helps me through.
He turns my darkness into light ‘til all will be made new.

I follow ever onward in the presence of my God.
I follow in the footsteps where the saints of God have trod,
And though I often falter, Jesus always helps me through.
He turns my darkness into light ‘til all will be made new.

I set my doors just as I will.
My pillars, strong, I give until
The temple, in the faith, is one,
And grows to fullness of the Son.

The living stones, I’ll set in place.
Completed by My faith and grace.
And all who seek My face will find,
And know renewing of the mind.

You will not falter in the way,
My voice will guide you in the Day.
And you shall know what you must do,
The past is past. The new is new.

Clean out the old; bring in the new.
Clean out the false; bring in the true.

It is unique. It is the Son.

Ignore the world, and give Me heed.
Keep keeping on; you will succeed.

Sonship has nothing to do with male or female. It’s about maturity in Christ. The adoption this verse mentions is Eastern adoption rather than Western adoption. In Western adoption, a family adds a child to their family who wasn’t born into their family. We aren’t adopted into God’s family that way. We must be born into God’s family. We must be born again by the flowing water of the Holy Spirit. Only born sons can experience Eastern adoption. In Eastern adoption, a child has come to a level of maturity where the father can give the child responsibility. God sets mature sons (and daughters) into positions of authority. We haven’t entered into the event the Bible calls “adoption” yet, but we wait for it with anticipation.
