The Bible is the Foundation of Truth
Dear Mama,
Charlotte Mason believed that the Bible is the foundation of truth. Her love for God and her approach to making home a part of her philosophy of education really captured me.
“Such a recognition of the work of the Holy Spirit as the Educator of mankind, in things intellectual as well as in things moral and spiritual, gives us “new thoughts of God, new hopes of Heaven,” a sense of harm key in efforts and acceptance of all that we are.”
- Charlotte Mason (Parents and Children, p. 276)
My daughter has been asking me some serious questions based on what is going on in the news. My husband and I decided to address the issue in a way she could understand, using the Bible to answer her questions better.
Before speaking with her, I prayed and asked God to give me wisdom and the right words to address her questions. After speaking with him, she seemed to have a better understanding of what is right and wrong. I’m really glad she feels comfortable asking us these questions.
When we make the Bible the foundation of truth and present evidence to support it, it becomes much easier to discuss sensitive subjects with children.
How do you address sensitive subjects?
Warmly,
Mirley
