Description
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!
-Psalm 111:10
Build a Biblical Worldview Through Novel Studies
In all courses on Lemons-Aid, we begin with the Word of God, building a foundation of truth. When learners read a novel, we guide them in analyzing and evaluating the characters’ actions, the plot, the conflict, and the theme through a biblical lens.
In Psalm 111:10, “those who practice” wisdom refers to those who obey. When we study literature from a biblical perspective, children have the opportunity to practice applying biblical knowledge to real-life situations seen in the stories. When they face similar circumstances in their own lives, they will have practiced applying biblical wisdom and will be better equipped to obey and take action from their foundation of faith and wisdom.
For example, when we teach stories that deal with love, we start by studying two stories in the Bible. The first is Samson and the Philistine woman found in Judges 14. Samson was infatuated and it led him to disobey God with devastating consequences. Then we turn to Hosea and Gomer, a beautiful love story that shows what real love is. In fact, it’s the picture of God’s love for us; it’s the gospel! Now our high school students are ready to read two stories that deal with love, but they realize it’s just infatuation. They practice applying what they know from the Bible to better understand the stories.
Our prayer is that when they find themselves feeling infatuated, they recognize it in themselves and can act with wisdom, faith, and obedience. Praise the Lord forever!
