Instructing a Child’s Heart, by Tedd and Margy Tripp

August 1st, 2008

This book is helping me shape my own biblical worldview. I have realized how many layers of worldly instruction has formed in my heart. Of the many lessons this book has taught me, the most helpful is to see my children’s need for Christ and a biblical worldview in which all of life, behavior, sin, truth, can be interpreted. It is my calling as a mother to shepherd this view.

“Formative instruction provides children with biblical ways of thinking. It is the process of instruction that enables our children to root all of life in God’s revelation in the Bible. Formative instruction is not focused on correcting something that has gone wrong; it focus is providing ways of interpreting and responding to life that are biblical. ”

Thank you, Mr. Tedd Tripp and Mrs. Margy Tripp for your wisdom and giving God glory through your experiences and biblical teaching.

The Tripps are coming September 19th and 20th to Mars Hill Church, for the Shepherding a Child’s Heart Conference. Can’t wait to attend!

    About Trisha
    About Work and Worship

    Colossians 3:23-25 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

    As I ponder my life, I find myself in disbelief. Is life really this fast and busy? Where are those precious moments, where time is supposed to freeze?
    Here I am, amazed at the blessings and calling I experience. Jesus is setting on the throne of my heart and I am running around chasing four children–yet am I worshiping Christ in it?
    Do I stop long enough to gaze at Jesus and set in His presence?
    Or do I just work? Why do I work? Is there a point to stewardship, time management, lists, schedules? Isn’t life just setting goals and completing the tasks?

    Welcome to my world of digging at these questions. Join me in the journey to understand why we work and the point of it all.
    I desire to give God glory, to understand more at a heart level, what God wants me to get to, true worship. Not just worship thru song, but my whole life, summed up as Worship. Is yours?
