January 29: Five Principles
In class today we started with our daily prayers from the student’s prayer book. It’s getting better, but we still have some work to do. After prayer, we reviewed the five benefits of knowing why creation is good (from yesterday’s class). After this review, the class was taught the Five Principles of Creation: 1) God creates by wisdom and love; 2) God creates “out of nothing”; 3) God creates an ordered and good world; 4) God transcends creation and is present to it; 5) God upholds and sustains creation. Each of the principles was discussed, and the students were asked to write them in their “disciple’s guidebook.” The students were told to review and be familiar with the five reasons and five principles. Further, they were asked to memorize Revelation 4:11, which reads: ”For you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” At the end of class, there was a little free time and so some of the students entertained the group with various singing and dancing skills.
