Keys to Memorization and Meditation
Many falsely believe they cannot memorize. Memorizing is certainly not easy for most people, but it is possible for us all. There are two main keys to memorization…
The Importance of Biblical Meditation
God wants our thoughts to be His thoughts so that our actions will be in line with His actions, and meditation on Scripture is simply exchanging our faulty beliefs for the truths of God’s Word.
Making Scripture a Priority
A wisdom search is a time when the family gathers together for worship, studying Scripture, prayer, and fellowship. Taking time for wisdom searches can revolutionize interpersonal relationships in the family — especially between a husband and wife.

Educational Experiences in ATI

Educational Precepts of ATI
The most powerful and long-lasting influences in a child’s life are the relationships of his own family. If they are loving and positive, the child will have a rich foundation for successful relationships outside the family. If they are negative and hostile, the continuing hurts will damage every other future relationship, including marriage, family, and employment.
