	PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING! STATEMENT OF FAITH: ~All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness...~ 2 Tim 3:16 � God's Word the Bible is the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth. God did not make mistakes in what He chose to be in His Word. We believe in the Bible in it's entirety. (2 Tim 3:16) � God has existed for all eternity as the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Son (Jesus); being both 3 entities and yet 1 entity. Jesus was God come in human flesh being fully God and fully man except without sin. (Psalm 90:2 , Heb 4:15) � ALL humans are born sinners and "the penalty of sin is death(hell)." Jesus came to earth to pay the penalty for man�s sin through His substitutionary death on the cross. He was without sin and the Son of God and was therefore raised from the dead on the third day as proof that He is God and succeeded in what he set out to do. (Rom 3:23 , Rom 6:23 , John 3:16-18 , Heb 4:15 , 1 Cor 15:3-4) � Salvation is offered as a gift, free to the sinner. Each person must accept this gift for themselves, not putting their faith in earning their way to heaven through good works, but in the sacrificial death of Christ Jesus alone. (Rom 6:23 , Eph 2:8-9) � Children are a blessing (Psalm 127:4-5) and are human lives with eternal souls from the time of conception. God gave parents the responsibility and authority to teach and train their children to live a life that is pleasing to Him. (Deut 4:9 , Deut 11:18-21 , Psalm 78:5 , Prov 22:6 , Eph 6:1-4) � The family is the basic governmental, social, and spiritual unit created by God. In it, the child learns self government, social relations, and develops a relationship to the Creator and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 6:1-4, Colossians 3:20). The family also provides protection from over extensive government and over stimulating social involvements. � God defines "parents" as one male and one female legally married (Genesis 1:27), although we recognize the exceptions of a single parent, adopted, foster, and step children (James 1:27). � Homosexual "marriages" and homosexual orientation are contrary to scr�pture and the intentions of God in creation (Romans 1:18-32), and we believe that such relationships are destructive to children and the very idea of family. Further, we reject transitory, co-habitational relationships as being equally in violation of God�s laws and incapable of providing the long-term nurture and instruction needed by children and commanded by God (Leviticus 18:22 , Ephesians 6:1-4). Note we do NOT support hate crimes or even merely nasty attitudes toward those we do not agree with. Love one another as Christ loves us. � All education is religious in nature since one�s view of the world and life is inevitably involved in teaching (Proverbs 2, Prov 3, Prov 6:20-23). Every discipline of knowledge, whether it be mathematics, history, science, etc., will have as its final reference point a theistic or, in the alternative, a humanistic view of reality (Colossians 2:8-15); there is no neutral academic point. � We live by example. As our children are like sponges, learning what we do and not just what we say, so the world will see through our words to how we actually live, and how our children live. "For even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right." -Prov 20:11 "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." -Prov 22:6 "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." -1 Tim 4:12 "...encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us." -Titus 2:6-8 "Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers�not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away." -1 Peter 5:2-4 If you agree with the above and are a homeschooling Mom, please join this message board so we can all share and support each other in raising and schooling our children for The Lord!! Welcome!! >>>By registering with this forum you are agreeing, and signing your name to the fact, that you agree with the statement of faith above in it's entirety; that you are not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. AND that you agree to follow our code of conduct as follows.<<< CODE OF CONDUCT AND RULES: -Please note that if you don't post an introduction within 1 week of your registration being accepted, your account will be removed and you will have to sign up again when you return. This is for the safety of our members. If you re-sign up and again don't post an intro within 24 HOURS this time, you will be BANNED because it's downright creepy to join the board twice and not post either time! Please understand that this is for everyone's protection. I take the safety of my members very seriously. -If I find you have registered under a false email address (does not exist/ does not belong to you) you will be BANNED IMMEDIATELY. This is creepy, dishonest, and rude. There is no need to register under a false email address since only registered members will be able to see it and nobody here is going to spam you! (Right girls? Plus if I need to get ahold of you for something important regarding your account I will not be able to do so if you have not left correct contact information.) -Rules are; 1. Treat one another as you would like to be treated. 2. Naughty words or unnecessary crudity could get you BANNED. Please watch what you type. 3. This board was started by a very conservative Christian for other very conservative Christians (see statement of faith), so if you are here and do not agree with our Statement Of Faith, I can see no reason for you to join unless you wish to flame and make trouble, which is NOT ALLOWED. I.e. if you don't agree, don't join. 4. New members will need to be accepted individually by the global admin- that's me. So if I do not know you and you cannot be vouched for by someone who is already a memeber of this board then you may be limited in your navigation and use of this board until you have earned our trust by reaching a certain number of posts, and proved you are not here to spam or stir up trouble. 5. If you have a problem with anyone or anything on here, please take it up one on one in private with the person who posted it first to see if it can be resolved that way. 6. Supportive comments and tactful suggestions about the board are always welcome. 7. The Global Administrator has the final word over the Moderators and the mods have the final word over the members, for the purpose of keeping order and settling disputes. 8. Members who do not post for 6 months will be assumed gone for good and will be deleted. If you left and were deleted and want to come back please reregister! We've probably been missing you and would be thrilled to have you back. 9. Members who continually make trouble even after being warned will be banned permanently.	3	0	Jan 18 2011, 12:19 PM In: Questions? By: EveryPreciousJoy
