In my debates with a highly traditional guy, I've learned that modern evangelicalism in very recent years has gone against the grain of the traditional Christian position in all ages and denominations, including the ancient church and the reformers. It is also argued that the evangelical permissiveness has led to its widespread use which has had and will have disastrous results for society.

Both Luther and Calvin spoke vehemently against it as a monstrous thing. Is this an area where we humbly break from the Reformers, or are most people here still in line with their position?

thoughts?

What is your weekly schedule like? How many hours a week do you spend teaching them? Rote learning or otherwise.

I'm trying to work out roughly how many hours a week is needed for an effective homeschool. I know there's no set number. Looking for a rough estimate. ]]> Family Forum ewenlin http://www.puritanboard.com/f32/homeschooling-families-55552/ http://www.puritanboard.com/f32/garden-praise-54614/ Fri, 23 Oct 2009 02:56:20 GMT Garden of Praise

Anyone on PB using this site or have information about the content? I haven't had a chance to give it a good review. ]]> Family Forum JM http://www.puritanboard.com/f32/garden-praise-54614/ http://www.puritanboard.com/f32/ok-here-scenario-54569/ Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:23:48 GMT Before bedtime i read the scriptures to my 2 year old daughter with my wife. Before we do this i tell my daughter to go and get the book. She is always quick to get up and run to my study to grab a copy of the scriptures (it's too big for her so she pulls it out of its place on my shelf and waits for me to grab it) then she runs to bed and waits for me to come and read it to her. This time when i told her to get the book she shook her head and said no. Normally, if she says no to us....she is disciplined. But this time i wasnt sure what to do. I was afraid that if i disciplined her for not getting the scriptures that somehow she would associate getting spanked with reading the word. And not want anything to do with the scriptures in the future. That led me to think about discipline during family worship or how about discipline for being disruptive during family prayer time?

Does any of this make sense? what do yall think? How do you deal with those situations? Any help would be greatly appreciated as always :) ]]> Family Forum vgallo6 http://www.puritanboard.com/f32/ok-here-scenario-54569/
