"For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is He who will save us." -- Isaiah 33:22 --
This is the Biblical model our Founding Fathers used for the foundation of our three branches of government - judicial, legislative, and executive. Fascinating. And who says this nation did not start out with a strong, Biblical foundation and faith???
"TeenPact is a dynamic, hands-on leadership school for Christian students. Our mission is to train youth to understand the political process, value their liberty, defend their Christian faith and engage the culture at a time in their lives when, typically, they do not care about such things.
At the TeenPact One Day class, we believe that even learning about government can be fun! Students 8-12 years old will see their capitol building, participate in public speaking exercises, and learn what the Bible has to say about the government. Students will write a bill and have the chance to discuss it in their “committee” during the mock legislature. Each activity is made easy to understand with plenty of interaction and energy. Hands-on learning, an enthusiastic staff team and an encouraging atmosphere make this a class you’ll never forget!
Activities Include:- Understanding the legislative process
- Mock legislature
- The influence of constituents on lawmakers
- The role of Christians in politics
- Being “Salt and Light” at the capitol
- The Biblical responsibility to pray for our leaders (1Timothy2:1-3)
- The principle of “higher authority” (Romans 13:1-2)
- Public speaking for young students"
