Subject: Free resources for October’s character focus

This month’s character focus is Virtue: “The moral excellence and purity of spirit that radiate from my life as I obey God’s Word”

This month, our character focus is Virtue. The operational definition of Virtue is “the moral excellence and purity of spirit that radiate from my life as I obey God’s Word.”


In the Bible, the word virtuous means “power” or “valor.” A virtuous Christian receives God’s power so he can live in obedience to God and bravely confront evil. In God’s strength, he can overcome temptation and pursue righteousness.


By consistently overcoming temptation and obeying God’s Word, our lives will shine as lights in this dark world so that God is glorified and many are added to His Kingdom.

Each booklet in the comprehensive children’s curriculum contains four complete lessons. A lesson is comprised of a Bible story and questions, a memory verse, and a craft or activity. The character quality is reinforced with a corresponding hymn history and sheet music, an overview of the character quality, and suggested resources for further study. Through this study, children are encouraged to obey God's Word so their lives will shine as lights in this dark world.
