catechism

I will be teaching 5-12 year old children the Catechism's questions regarding Christ's three offices. I have them for an hour. I have never done this with this age group before, and I struggle interacting with and keeping the attention of children. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to...

5 Marks of Devotion to God by C. Matthew McMahon Do you long for a closer relationship to the Savior Jesus Christ? Do you desire a more intimate communion with God each day? Every true Christian does. The purpose of this volume in the “5 Marks Series” is to cover the spiritual disciplines...

This is a little tongue in cheek but also serious! So my daughter is seven months old and we've recognized the importance of catechizing her immediately as soon as we were able to. Psalm 8:2 and all that, you know! We believe that we have effectively utilized her grunts, silence and hand...

I first published this in 2012 but it has been recently re-worked to make it easier to navigate and more consistent in formatting. Contents: To the Christian Reader Mr Thomas Manton's Epistle to the Reader The Confession of Faith The Shorter Catechism The Larger Catechism Sum of Saving...

I learned about what a catechism was in a message from Dr. Voddie Baucham years ago, and since that time I've come to realize how important it is to my entire family. When we are all faithful in our learning of it, the family flourishes in discussions about the great truths of the Bible. When...

Does anyone know where I can find the Westminster Standards (with proofs) in a parsable format like JSON or XML? There's CatechizeMe API : catechizeMe, though I haven't asked if I could use it, and even if I could, it doesn't include proof texts.

As we prepare to homeschool my 5-year-old in the fall, my wife asked whether we could consider getting some sort of apologetics curriculum that she could study with him. We are already working on the Westminster shorter catechism with him, but I think she is looking for something more workbook...

Has anyone given any thought to this, or has anyone ever heard of a resource like this that perhaps I'm not aware of? This is of particular interest to us in that our son has some mental disabilities. We have found over the years that we've had to simplify even the children's catechism in...

My ladyfriend and I are about to start a study through the Shorter Catechism, and I plan on using either Fisher's or Vincent's catechism as an aid. Does anyone have a preference between the two? A spoke to a guest minister this past Sabbath who drew from both, and he liked Vincent best. Tell us...

I put both the Heidelberg and Westminster Shorter Catechisms in a bilingual parallel format for my family. You can d/l them in both .doc and .epub format here.

We have seen multiple copies of the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, some with many scripture proofs, some with none at all, and some that make you scratch your head. 1) Which publication or online resource have you found to have the most complete set of scripture proofs for either the Larger...

What are the different practices on when to start preaching with LD 1? It seems to me there have been several different practices. Who can help? What's your practice?

First off, sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I almost put it in "preaching" (as it involves teaching), but decided that didn't fit either. :scratch: Here's my situation: I was raised in a semi-pelagian Baptist church. As such, I've never been part of a catechism class, either as a...

This has already been discussed here, but the discussion wasn't very long and the thread is closed. What version of the Heidelberg catechism do you recommend? I'd prefer one in modern English, and preferably, with nice formatting. I found one supplied by the Reformed Church in America here...
