Freedom & Simplicity in HisStory & PIPEline

Greetings from Me & My House,
I cannot believe I didn't post this here. I will get some testimonials up at my website later, when I get a few moments. This is a labor of my love of learning and teaching by Biblical principles.


My Freedom & Simplicity in HisStory guide has been completely revised and expanded. Also I have developed The PIPEline pictorial timeline.
If you are interested in learning more about them or ordering them, you can see my website Here

The Freedom & Simplicity in HisStory guide is almost 100 pages on the foundations of history and how to teach by biblical principles. I've tried to include plenty of practical helps, and recommended resources. It is $12.50.

The PIPEline is 10 pictures of the links of the PIPEline - that is, People, Ideas, Places, and Events, key reference points of God's dealings with His people throughout time. (There are 2 optional links for those looking for something similar to the Chain of Christianity.) No work to make this one, just print it out and cut it out. You can see a list of my 10 links here:
PIPEline and a picture too.
This is $5.

Or Both for $15.00.

They are available as pdf downloads. You can pay by paypal (non-Credit /Debit Card) just send an email to us through our website to order or for further info.

The Library

Our library is begining to look like one. I don't have any digital "before" pictures, but imagine walls with broken and missing plaster, oak floors with water damage and buckled, accoustic ceiling tiles with water damage and missing.

We aren't completely done yet, some trim and doors yet to finish, but ceiling, walls and floors are done. Baseboards are up and the first of the bookcases are installed and loaded. Here's a pic.

God's Sovereignty

Greetings from Me and My House,

This summer I am returning to my Foundational Studies. One area is in 7 Biblical Principles of Liberty. This post is about what I see as the first principle, God's Sovereignty. I may post on each of the 7.

Also I have added several pages to my website this summer. Look under Bits and Pieces for Freedom & Simplicity and the 7 Principles of Liberty comparison chart (which will show you what the other 6 principles are). Also several of our L.E.D. Resources & Recommendations pages have been updated. Here's the page that will link you to those pages.

Here's my understanding of the principle of God's Sovereignty.

God's Sovereignty - the Lordship of Christ:

The principle of God's Sovereignty is that of God's rule over us, as Lawgiver, Judge and King. God Providentially rules all things whether man acknowledges it or not, just as God is Creator whether man acknowledges it or not. When man acknowledges and submits to God's rule he is able to live in both liberty and order.

When man rejects God's Sovereignty, he sets up for himself a false sovereign, either the individual (resulting in chaotic anarchy, a false "freedom" with no order, that nurtures selfishness, pride, and perversion) or the state (resulting in stifling tyranny, a false "order" with no liberty, that nurtures passivity and dependence).

God's Sovereignty, operates in both power and form, displaying His balance of freedom and order. It is God's power that causes change and growth and His form that channels it aright. Order (through God's law) protects man's freedom from the sinful nature of others (this is the form), while freedom (through His grace) enables man to be creative and productive (this is the power).

We see in HisStory God's Sovereign Providence directing man's course, whether man acknowledges it or not. We determine who those involved "think" is sovereign. Although man (individually or corporately) can choose to walk after his own ways, disregarding the Sovereignty of the Lord, it is still the Lord "who directs his path".

In man submitted to God's Sovereignty, we see his internal and external governments patterned after God's form to allow God's power to flow through them. Therefore, this principle could also be called Faith in God and His Word, or Power and Form. Even in man choosing to look to a false sovereign we see power and form - but unbalanced. Rosalie Slater termed this principle the Christian Form of our Government.
