Bible Memory Policies Links Prayer Study Tips Topics Troops

Topics:

We study apologetics, how to share our faith, and why our faith is important to us.

We learn how to find verses in the Bible that relate to certain topics and ideas, as well as verses that explain what we believe and why.

Our class ministry is supporting our troops. We write letters to soldiers and go on field trips to places that support troops, including Military Mom in Action and the VA. Every day, we pray for people we know in the military.

The students must know all 66 books of the Bible, in order, by the end of the school year.

We read The Case for Faith: Student Edition by Lee Strobel.

We also read The Case for Christ: Student Edition by Lee Strobel.

These books help us learn to defend our faith as it says to in I Peter 3:15 and II Corinthians 10:3-5.

We sing worship songs during Bible.

Bible Memory Policy:

Students memorize verses and be tested once a week on Fridays (exceptions noted in class and on the Edline calendar).

Tests will be in written form. Verses, including full (not abbreviated) references, must be memorized exactly, including spelling (using the NIV).

Grading will be the number of words missed divided by the total number of words, times 100. Words such as "and", "the", "a", "an", "of", etc. will only be one point. Spelling will count as a half of a point. Words that should be capitalized and aren't will have a half of a point taken off. In addition, words that should not be capitalized and are will also have half of a point taken off. All pronouns referring to God must always be capitalized (He, Him, His, You, Your, Yours). Punctuation will be extra credit (half a point each, excluding periods).

Verse Study Tips:

Here are some ways to learn and practice your Bible verses: (many ideas are from the students)

  • Break it up into smaller pieces (one way is by punctuation).
  • Write it on index cards (whole or in parts).
  • Have someone quiz you orally (which is great to do, as long as you practice writing it out before the test).
  • Write it several times, and check it by comparing it to the original. Include spelling and punctuation.
  • Make it into a song.
  • If you recite it orally, include the punctuation aloud. Ex: "If one of you says to him comma".
  • If you spell a word wrong, write it several times to learn it.
  • Read it aloud several times, then try to do it without looking.
  • Quiz with other students.
  • Pretend it's a play and those are lines for you to memorize.

    Prayer:

    In addition to praying for military, we also pray for missionaries and an unreached people group during every Bible class. We pray daily for health, comfort, and salvation of those we know, along with any other requests that are mentioned.

    Prayer Calendar: a monthly calendar which can be used as a schedule when praying for our class and school (password needed)

    Ideas of What to Pray For: (for the prayer calendar)

  • For all students, faculty, staff, and their families: to stay focused on God and remain faithful to Him; for health and safety, encouragement, patience

  • For families: to be stable, loving, Christ-centered; to have necessary finances for the tuition

  • For faculty, staff, leaders: strength, understanding, ability, patience, love, rest, time

  • For students: to work diligently for the Lord; understand their work; that their behavior glorifies God

  • Anything else that you can think of

    Thanks for praying!
