Looking for a way to celebrate the Protestant Reformation this weekend? If you live in South Florida, you’re in luck.  Once again, North Creek Presbyterian Church, located in Coconut Creek, Florida, will be holding a free, 2 day conference this year to celebrate the Protestant Reformation on the evening of Friday, October 28 and the morning of Saturday, October 29, 2011 on the campus of the church.

The special guest for this year’s conference is Dr. Stephen J. Nichols, an active and gifted speaker, as well as a prolific writer specializing in church history.  He has written over a dozen highly rated books, including The Reformation: How a Monk and a Mallet Changed the World and Ancient Word, Changing Worlds: The Doctrine of Scripture in a Modern Age.  The theme for this upcoming conference is “Stand on Scripture Alone: The Necessity, Authority, Clarity & Sufficiency of Scripture“.  Considering how God’s Word is being assaulted in our culture, this conference should prove to be very educational and edifying.
This conference is FREE and online registration is available here.  

We are also told that there will also be Reformation themed lessons, games and activities (how does “Pin the Beard on the Reformer” sound?) for children during the conference for children up to grade 5.   It’s a cheap, Reformed date opportunity for parents – two days in a row!

For more information, contact the church (954) 428-8772.

Homeschool Headlines – 8/26/2011 Edition


Happy Friday to you!  Admittedly, we’ve been slacking with the frequency of blog posts of late.   Please forgive us.  Below are a few links to a some blog articles that we’ve enjoyed over the past week.

First, our friend Aaron over at The Krig Pen responds in his own way to the cliché homeschooling criticism, “What About the Socialization?

Next, Boljidar Marinov over the The American Vision ably addresses homeschooling critics who believe that teaching children is a job for “the pros” in his recent post, “Homeschooling vs. the Idolatry of the Educational Expertise“.

Lastly, we close with an awe-inspiring video created by Randy Halverson called “Tempest Milky Way“.  After watching it, be sure to check out his Vimeo page and read about how he did it.  Great stuff.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.” – Psalm 19:1-2
