General Display Examples

Reprinted from A Beka Book "A Science Project":

Student/Family Product Displays

“Cursed be the ground for thy sake...”; “for the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it in hope...” (Gen. 3:17; Rom. 8:20). God expects mankind to labor and find frustration in his labor.

Our children need to learn three things about labor and their future life vocation:

• We must labor against the curse to meet our needs.

• We must find life’s satisfaction in our field of labor done well and the security of the hope of God who only is eternal. (Ecc.3:12,13)

• We must use the frustrations of the curse as a medium for service as we meet needs and endure the frustration to reach men with their only true hope – Salvation through Jesus Christ.

It is the purpose of the Expo to encourage family work projects. Practical apprenticeship of children with their parents is the first step towards a well-rounded education based upon God’s Word. John 5:17, 19 & 20
