Bible devotions and curriculum

I enjoy reading what other people use for curriculum as it gives me an idea of where I am in teaching my kids and also great ideas for what to check out for either adding to, or replacing, what we currently use. So, if you're like me, here's what we use for our bible devotions and curriculum.

Bible is done first thing in the morning to give all of us a great foundation to build on. Plus I want my kids to know that Jesus comes first, before anything.

We start the day with a devotion with the whole family. I will generally pray the night before for a Scripture that will help our family deal with some issue or help us build character. (Today was Romans 6: 5-7)

Sometimes we will also use Josh McDowell's "Family Devotions" or a little booklet called Daily Bread. It all depends on where the Lord leads us. We spend time in prayer and I am starting to incorporate some hymns and contemporary worship songs.

After this we go into a 'bible class'.

Kaitlynn is read to with using a children's first bible and we go over her Cubbies handbook.

Matthew is using and Old Testament study called 'God's Promises' a part of the Explorer series as well as reading through his Sparks book.

Kimberly uses the Rod & Staff Bible New Testament Study and we do book studies on specific books that we read together. Right now we're reading "Savior Next Door" by Max Lucado.

I feel very comfortable with these curriculums and feel that they provide adequate Bible study for the kids.

Of course, Kaitlynn and Matthew both participate in our Awana program and Kimberly is very active in the Junior High youth group and as a leader with our children's church program.

That's what we do. It isn't perfect, but like I said, I'm pretty comfortable with it right now. As we continue to grow in our faith, I'm sure this will change over time.

As long as my kids are growing in their relationship with Jesus, and are continually transforming and renewing their minds, that's all I ever ask for.
