Are our children being the “salt and light” in the public school system or are they losing their faith? Will your children believe in Jesus when they graduate from high school? Is sending our children off to learn a false doctrine every day being the salt and light? Shouldn’t we model being the salt and light to them and others by not standing for an ungodly education?
Homeschooled: 94%
Public Schooled: 15%
94% of homeschoolers keep the faith and 93% continue to attend church after the high school years. But a shocking 75% to 85% of Christian children sent to public school drop out of church, and do not hold a Christian worldview after high school graduation.1 (references will be given at the end of this series in my final thoughts)

Homeschooling from a Biblical Worldview
"The best way to light our world is to be distinct from the darkness, and homeschooling certainly helps to set us apart from the worldly culture in which we live. I have had more opportunities to share the gospel because I was homeschooled than I ever would have had in a public school."
Do we need to be called to teach our children or are we already called? Are we responsible for our children’s education or is the government? Who will God hold accountable? Are we being careful stewards of these precious gifts that God has given us to train up in the way they should go by delegating that responsibility to a Godless school with Godless children to receive a Godless education?
"And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up."
- Deuteronomy 6:6-7
"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."
- Proverbs 22:6
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children of one's youth.
Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”
-Psalm 127:3-5
“We will not hide them from their children,
but tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and the wonders that he has done.”
-Psalm 78:4
“Do not be misled. Bad company corrupts good character.” -I Corinthians 15:33
“Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright” -20:11 |
