Teaching His Story

The Gospel Purpose for English

The Noah Plan® English Language Curriculum Guide: K-12 focuses the teaching of English upon mastery of the language through the teaching of literature, grammar and composition as inter-related, mutually re-enforcing studies and practice. It frees the English lesson for the practice of language skills through classic literature and daily composition. The result is the mastery of language, the foundation of all education and the key to success in every area of life. It also builds the Biblical worldview in demonstrating the unique and providential role of English among languages. Teaching English is an extension of the literature program that develops communication and writing skills, reading comprehension and public speaking.

Please join us in the adventure of recovering America’s Biblical and Historic method of teaching and learning. In this course, we will focus on a delightful resource written by Dr. Carole Adams and Elizabeth Youmans. “This guide … is forthrightly the result of a solid and unswerving belief in our sovereign God, and His hand of Providence in the affairs of men and of nations. It purports unashamedly Christian Biblical presuppositions of life, faith, and learning.” (English Guide, p vii)

A2S2C1 The “Conscience of the Nation”

“… and he [the President] shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”   ~ A2S2C1

Iredell explained “Another power that he has is to grant pardons, except in the cases of impeachment… It may happen that many men, upon plausible pretenses, may be seduced into very dangerous measures against their country. They may aim, by an insurrection, to redress imaginary grievances, at the same time believing, upon false suggestions, that their exertions are necessary to save their country from destruction. Upon cool reflection, however, they possibly are convinced of their error, and clearly see through the treachery and villainy of their leaders. In the situation, if the President possessed the power of pardoning, they probably would throw themselves on the equity of the government, and the whole body be peaceably broken up. Thus, at a critical moment, the President might, perhaps, prevent a civil war. But if there was no authority to pardon, in that delicate exigency, what would be the consequence? The principle of self-preservation would prevent their parting. Would it not be natural for them to say, ‘We shall be punished if we disband… We will as well die in the field, as at the gallows.’” (1)

C.C. Pinkney clarifies in cases of impeachment that “No man, however great, is exempt from impeachment and trial. If the representatives of the people think he ought to be impeached and tried, the President cannot pardon him…” (2)

Father, we pray for President Trump to have Your heart and wisdom as he brings Rule of Law and Justice back to our nation. Let our leaders know who to pardon and who needs to be fully prosecuted. May every one in this nation Honor You once again, that we may have “No other king, but King Jesus!” In His Name, Amen.

(1) Elliot 4:110-12.

(2) Elliot 4:281.
