Christian Parents Stop, Think, Ponder the Question..

Why to Home School Your children...

Christian Parent ~ Beloved of Christ,

Stop a Moment and Think ...
Where Are You Headed with Your Child's
Education? At the age of 18, will they be influenced
more by a secular worldview or a Biblical worldview?

Ponder this... What would Jesus say about our local public schools? Would He encourage us to send our children to a humanistic history class, where there is little mentioned (if any) of Him or God the Father? Would Jesus approve today's science text book, which matter-of-factly teaches the earth is millions of years old, and He had nothing to do with its creation? Would Jesus be pleased that children across this country is exposed to safe-sex education without being taught the union of marriage, in the purest since? Answers to all of these questions are obvious... of coarse not!

Jesus said... the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. How will children love the Lord with all their mind when God is eliminated from their public school education?

Why then, do so many Christian parents think it's alright to send their child to a secular education system, that cultivates the child's heart with ungodliness for 12 straight years? Most of the time it's simply because they don't know about homeschooling. They haven't learned about the rich benefits of homeschool families. Once a Christian parent gains interest in a Christ-centered, home school vision, then the deceptive veil of public schools will be removed easily.

Christian parents, we have the freedom in this country to home school our children. Are you taking advantage of this opportunity? Those of you who are, one parent-families, God has a way of escape for your children too. Pray to God for guidance, petition Him where He would want your child educated. Diligently search for the right avenue that best fits your family's needs. Turn to the ways of God, for He is faithful to direct your path!

But if you need more pertinent information to make a sound judgement about which educational path you will put your child on, this article section is a great starting point. May God bless you richly with wisdom, as you draw close to Him and His ways!
