Leading Ideas and Biblical Principles

[list type=”arrow”]

History is HIS Story – God’s story of love, mercy, and redemption through Christ.
- He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. — Ephesians 1‍:‍9-10
God’s providential hand governs and times all events and provides for His Creation according to His plan and purposes.
- The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.- Acts 17: 24 – 27
Godly leadership and servanthood are necessary for one to be a true reforming influence.
- Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many..- Matthew 20:26 – 28
God raises up and removes leaders.
- He changes times and seasons; he deposes kigs and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning..- Daniel 2:21
God holds all things together.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
All matter was created by God.
- By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. – Hebrews 11:3

Unit 6 Literature Assignments

Unit 6 Composition Assignments

Now that you know what different parts are contained within a newspaper, you should select a type of article that you want to write on Puritan life. For instance, if you select “Sports,” your article might be about recreation that the Puritans enjoyed. If you choose “Technology,” your article might focus on some new type of equipment that this group of people were building to make their lives easier. You get the idea!
Once you have selected the type of article, you need to begin researching this aspect of Puritan life. You can visit your local library to find books related to your topic, and you can also use the internet to search for appropriate material. After you have “read up” on your topic, you will need to add your own creativity to help you write an article as if you were living during this time. Pretend that you are a Puritan reporter, writing to share brand new information with the townspeople nearby, and it is your job to keep them up-to-date on the newest information.
Visit the Resources section of the website to find several different types of graphic organizers, which are a tool to help you organize your ideas before you begin writing, and have a parent or teacher help you select one that is most appropriate for the type of article that you will be writing. Write your ideas and information into the graphic organizer, and share your ideas with your parent, teacher, and other peers to get their feedback on the organization of your article.
