Many students grow up loving math. They love the way it’s a universally understood language and that it has finite answers and patterns. Breezing through their curriculum, they enjoy all things numbers. But there are also many students who struggle with, or simply don’t enjoy math. For those students, there was a point in time,...

The Greek language has two words for “time” — chronos and kairos. Chronos is quantitative, denoting chronological or sequential time — the forward propelling of time that we measure with clocks. On the other hand, kairos is qualitative. It is the right, critical, proper, and opportune time to take action. Kairos means taking advantage of or even creating a perfect moment to deliver a...

Apologia publishes Creation-based science curricula. I hope you realize just how unique this is in a world saturated in Darwinism and the teaching of evolution. The perspective from which you teach science will have a profound influence on the understanding, interpretation, and worldview of your students.

God is eternal, but we live in time. The contrast is stark. And the seven-day week? That’s also a creation of God, with...

So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. (James 2:17) If you’ve ever been to a wedding or are addicted to the Hallmark Channel, you’re probably familiar with this phrase: “I now pronounce you husband and wife.” Equally well known is the line that follows: “You may kiss the bride.”...

“When will I ever use Algebra?” I’ve heard that question so many times, from not only students but parents also. Each time I hear it, I am reminded that this is a serious question that needs to be answered. Instead of just giving some overcast, cloudy answer like, “every day,” I am going to answer...

When our first child was born thirty years ago, homeschooling was nowhere on my personal radar screen. Then in 1996, Rachael and I reluctantly began our journey down this path. Four years into it we were sold on the lifestyle and made a personal commitment for the long haul, even with high school looming in...

“The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God’…” Psalm 14:1 The Hypocrisy of Evolution and Naturalism  Skeptics often claim that there’s no evidence God exists.
