Our passion is training Christian parents, teachers, & grandparents to educate future generations for Christ by following God's plan to perpetuate their faith through Kingdom Education.
Could it be any clearer than this? Here we have two American educational "fathers" with diametrically opposing worldviews. Noah Webster represents the Biblical and Christian worldview, based on the truth and authority of God's holy Word, the Bible. On the other hand, John Dewey represents the anti-Christian atheistic humanist worldview, based on humanism, a rejection of God, and paganism.
From these two "fathers," America has developed two very different educational systems. Our original Christian colonial-era education is known as the Christian classical educational system or what is called "the Principle Approach" to education. This system was founded by the early Christian pioneers such as the Pilgrims and Puritans of Massachusetts. Noah Webster helped catapult it and advance it with his 1828 Dictionary and his many publications of Biblically-based curricula. This system continues today to some degree through Christian home schools, through Biblical worldview Christian schools, and most completely through Principle Approach® Christian worldview schools.
The other system is the public school system of state education. It is built on the foundation of John Dewey and his anti-Christian philosophy of humanism, atheism, naturalism, evolution, and moral relevance. It is this system which is destroying our children spiritually, morally, and intellectually. It is this "Dewey" system that is destroying our entire culture and it's spiritual and moral foundations. It is this system that Christian parents need to reject and separate from, and in its place, these parents can draw on America's Christian heritage and provide their children with a godly Christian education through home schooling or Christian worldview schools or Principle Approach schools.
This quote is by Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld, one of the most respected Christian educators in the nation.
God has given him the prophetic insight and understanding to see that public education and the income tax are at the heart of the agenda of the Left to transform America into a socialist, ungodly, controlled society in the image of socialist Europe.
If Americans truly want to be a free people who are self-governed and who enjoy the liberty and inalienable rights given to us by our Creator - then we must get rid of these two institutions which are designed to keep America in bondage and transform her into a godless, secular, non-Christian socialist society.
I encourage you to do your own research on this truth. Study the totalitarian governments of the 20th century, and you will find government-controlled "free" public education as one of the main supporting pillars that created a dumbed-down, submissive, morally corrupt citizenry who were enslaved by a totalitarian state that had all the power. Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, and communism under every title has been built on these two fundamental pillars.
I strongly encourage you to watch this trailer for a recently released educational documentary made by two award-winning Christian documentary directors/producers, Colin Gunn and Juaquin Fernandez. These guys just won the BEST DOCUMENTARY FILM AWARD!
This is an in-depth look at the state of public schools in America, what philosophies government education is built upon, how it compares to God's plan for parents to educate generations for Christ according to the truth and principles of God's Word, and how this government monopoly institution is destroying Christianity in America - by systematically corrupting America's Christian children and destroying them spiritually, morally, and intellectually.
IF you are truly a "lover of the truth" and willing to listen to the facts objectively, IF your heart is open to hear what the Spirit is saying,
THEN dare to watch the trailer...
Now that this movie has been released, make a commitment to yourself and to God to do whatever it takes to watch this IndoctriNation Movie.
This film puts its finger on an American "idol"and "tradition" that has exalted itself above God and has caused millions of American Christians to hand their children over to the "god" of statism, socialism, and humanism, and it's all because of slothfulness, covetousness, pleasure, and convenience. Many of us Christian parents are guilty of "slothfulness," which is the immoral behavior of choosing to do the easy thing, the convenient thing, the comfortable thing, rather than doing the RIGHT THING...
DO the RIGHT thing! It's not too late to DO the RIGHT thing.
It's not too late for you to take personal responsibility for educating your children the way that God Almighty REQUIRES of all who claim to know Him, love Him, and follow Him.
Here's a short segment of an interview with Ken Ham on Creation vs. Evolution: Is God's Word Your Foundation?
This is basic Christianity, and this issue is most importantly an issue of OBEDIENCE to GOD and to the commandments of Jesus Christ, who said:
"If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word..." John 14:23
"He who does not love Me does not keep My Words..." John 14:24
"If you abide in My Word, you are truly My disciples. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." John 8:31-32

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." (Proverb 9:10) This is our foundational Scripture from Part 1.
In his book, The Fear of the Lord, John Bevere states: “Holy fear is the key to God’s sure foundation, unlocking the treasures of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.” This truth comes right out of Isaiah 33:6, “And HE shall be the sure foundation [stability] of your times, a wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is his treasure.”
Consequently, if we desire to live securely in these troubled times and teach our children and students how to do this, we must seek the Lord and ask Him to etch in our hearts and in their hearts - the holy fear of the Lord. We can only expect to receive this impartation and discernment that fears God if we are earnestly seeking God’s face (Jeremiah 29:11-14; 32:40) and spending time with Him in His Word. Then the Holy Spirit can reveal to us the fear of the Lord, for it truly is one of the manifestations of the Spirit of God (Isaiah 11:1-2).
There is an interlocking relationship between fearing God and loving God. In other words, we cannot truly love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength until we first learn to reverentially fear Him, and we cannot properly fear Him as we should until we first love Him. To fear God properly leads us to love Him wholeheartedly and appropriately. If fearing God is the beginning of wisdom and knowing God as He truly is, then loving God as He really is leads us to the fulfilling purpose of wisdom, which is to know Him intimately and is eternal life. In short, the love of God must be complemented with the fear of God.
God’s Word teaches us that we need to “Behold then the kindness and severity of God” (Rom 11:22). We are in danger of error and judgment when the doctrine of the love of God is not balanced properly with the doctrine of the fear of the Lord. As it says in Isaiah 66:2 and Jeremiah 5:22, a person who truly fears God will tremble at His Word and in His presence. Obviously, we cannot expect to be admitted into the presence of our glorious King with an attitude of disrespect. We learn to give God the reverence He deserves by pursuing the knowledge of the greatness of His glorious character. The greater our beholding of His glory is and the comprehension of His greatness, the greater our capacity for properly fearing Him and reverencing Him according to His divine order.
“Toward Your holy temple I will bow down in fear of You [in reverence for You].” Psalm 5:7
Finally,we must learn to approach God and serve Him acceptably, in reverence and godly fear (Heb 12:28). This is the KEY to acquiring wisdom and understanding, which will lead us to an intimate relationship with God. The holy and reverential FEAR OF THE LORD is absolutely required as the foundation for all true education.
All education that is not built on the fear of the Lord is built on the shifting sands of humanistic philosophies, and as such, will provide its students with a faulty foundation that will not stand the tests and trials of life. As an example, take a close look at the foundation of the modern American public school system: secular humanism. There is no way for a student to receive a truly godly education in the public school system because that system does not teach the fear of the Lord or the knowledge of the Holy One. In fact, state education exalts man above God and seeks to replace God with man. In such a corrupt system, God is ignored as totally insignificant, or worse, He is denounced as non-existent. Can such a system truly educate children? No, it is simply impossible, for the school system has destroyed the very foundation of all sound wisdom and understanding - the fear of the Lord and Jesus Christ. I pray that Christian parents who have their kids in public schools will wake up to this fact and see that they must in all good conscience remove their children from such an ungodly system that can never truly educate their children.
The final posting in this series, Part 3, will follow soon...
What is "multiculturalism" exactly? We've all heard the term a million times, but how many of us really know what it means and what its implications are? How is it affecting our kids, American public education, the values of American youth, the church, and the destiny of our nation? These are the questions that Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld discusses in his book, Revolution Via Education, 2009.
Here's a note from the Preface: "In these essays I have tried to show how our country has been in the throes of an ongoing socialist revolution since the turn of the last century. And it has been engineered by real people with real names who consider themselves to be Americans but who have been doing all in their power to change the form of government given us by our Founding Fathers. The two major underpinnings of a socialist, ungodly, controlled society are public education and the income tax. We shall not be a free people until we get rid of both institutions." In this book, Blumenfeld gets to the root of our crisis: our spiritual state and the need for an explicitly Christian form of education. It's a wake up call to the church to make certain and deliberate steps to raising up a generation of Kingdom-builders.
I'd like to share some of my favorite quotes that summarize Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld's insights into "multiculturalism" from his book, Revolution Via Education.
"Multiculturalism has nothing to do with the improvement of academic performance. It is simply part of the plan to use the public schools for political and psychological purposes rather than for academic ones."
"Multiculturalism is based on the notion that the traditional Christian model of American values based on Biblical teachings is no longer valid as the model to be held up to children in public schools....The public school as an Americanizing institution, providing a common body of values for all American children, no longer exists."
"American Christians, for the most part, have lost control over American cultural institutions. All of our public schools, all of our state universities and colleges, and most of our private universities and colleges are now totally and irrevocably in the hands of anti-Christian humanists. Their control of our educational institutions virtually guarantees their dominance over the culture, unless Christians can develop a strategy to regain control over the education of Christian children. It is the Christian patronage of the public school that is permitting the humanists to win the cultural war.The tide of that war could be turned tomorrow IF Christians would remove their children from the public schools and put them in private Christian schools or homeschools where they could be taught Biblical principles."
"Our public schools, in order to be accredited, are now required to teach that there are no moral absolutes, that every individual through a process of values clarification has the right to freely choose his morals, and that ethics are situational. The result has been moral anarchy, moral confusion, moral decline, moral disintegration, and moral civil war. No nation can tolerate the confusion of two conflicting moral codes in its courts."
"What all of this means in practical terms is that American public schools are no longer to be used to inculcate a common set of moral and spiritual values based on our Biblical heritage, but are to be used to promote a plethora of competing values systems, with Biblical Christian values cleverly excluded from competition because they violate the sacred separation of church and state. In other words, the public school is now a marketplace of competing pagan and anti-Christian belief systems. The students have a choice, but the market is rigged. That, in a nutshell, is how multiculturalism works to undermine our Judeo-Christian heritage."
"Multiculturalism is really nothing more than a new form of anti-Americanism. What kind of Americans will the public schools turn out? Americans ignorant of their nation's founding principles, incapable of defending their country against foreign ideologies, adrift in a sea of moral and cultural anarchy, at the mercy of fears, slogans, and terrorist blackmail. The simple truth is that the ultimate purpose of multiculturalism is to wean the American people away from patriotism. In fact, multiculturalism is an all-important steppingstone to globalism, that concept of a future world government, which the public schools are now promoting more aggressively than ever....The NEA recognized no American culture that the student may take pride in."
"The purpose of globalism is to prepare young Americans to accept as inevitable and desirable a world socialist government in which American national sovereignty will be voluntarily surrendered for the great good of 'world peace and brotherhood'. Social studies textbooks have been written to deliberately play down American patriotism and national pride known as 'ethnocentrism' in order to prepare young Americans for world citizenship.....Outcome Based Education is a further attempt to move the American public school in the direction of multicultural world government."
"Multiculturalism is really nothing more than a transition stage in the changeover from one dominant culture to another. America is moving from a dominant Christian culture to a dominant humanist-pagan culture. The transition is usually marked by increasing conflict between the advocates of the two opposing worldviews."
"It is the duty and responsibility of Christian leaders to stop the wholesale paganization of Christian youth. We should take our lessons from the Catholics of the 1850s who realized that they had no choice but to abandon the public schools for educational institutions of their own if they were to preserve Catholic culture for the next one hundred years. Their success indicated that it can be done IF a resolute community is mobilized by a resolute leadership. The fact that thousands of Christian parents are already involved in homeschooling indicates that they are not waiting for this resolute leadership to arise."
How many Christian parents and pastors would be appalled if the government marched into their churches and took complete control of all Sunday School programs of Christian education, including dictating what curriculum would be taught and who would be licensed by the state to teach Sunday School? How many would oppose such an encroachment by the federal or state government? How many would not put up with such a trampling of our religious and civil liberties and would actually do something to stop it? How many would stand up and say the government has no business at all interfering with churches and Sunday Schools? The answer, I'm guessing, is that many or most Christian parents and pastors would be appalled, would oppose such a move, would not put up with it, and would do all they could to stop it and boot the government from trying to control Sunday School, Sunday School curriculum, and Sunday School teaching and teachers.
Now, think about the logic of this type of government encroachment upon churches and their Sunday School programs. It goes against everything that the church in America stands for, especially the freedom of religion and religious expression. We simply would not stand for such a blatant encroachment by the federal or state governments into the church, into our religious lives, into our Sunday Schools, into our Christian education programs, into the indoctrination of our children by the government. And yet, we think it is perfectly fine for the government to indoctrinate our children with secular humanism, evolution, socialism, Marxism, Islam, homosexuality, statism, post-modernism, atheism, and a host of other ungodly and anti-Christian beliefs and behaviors during Monday School, and Tuesday School, etc. Why is that? Why is it not okay for the state to control our Sunday Schools, but it is okay for the government to control our Monday through Friday Schools? How does this make sense to anyone? The truth is: if it is wrong for the state to control our Sunday Schools, then it is equally wrong for the state to control Monday Schools too!
I'm calling out to all Christian parents, pastors, and leaders to somehow explain to me WHY 85% of Christian parents institutionalize their precious children (created in the image of God) and freely render them to Caesar, to the state, to indoctrinate their children five days a week, which adds up to over 16,000 seat hours in a 13 year time period. Jesus clearly said, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's." Are we not rendering our children to Caesar when we send them off every day for 13 years to be indoctrinated by the state into secular humanism and other forms of religion that are completely contrary to Christ, literally, are anti-Christ? Are we not guilty of "over rendering" and compartmentalizing our lives between the sacred and the secular?
Too many pastors and Christian parents believe the myth that we can separate religion from education and they are guilty of compartmentalizing their lives into the secular and into the religious. They think that they can teach religion at home and in Sunday School, but during the rest of the day and week it's okay for the government to teach their children all other subjects. This is a dangerous myth that must be exposed as a lie. The truth is that all education is inescapably religious because all education conveys a worldview that shapes and determines the character, life, beliefs, behavior, and future of children. The problem is not that state schools exist; the real problem is that Christian parents are using public schools to train their children, to "educate" their children, to disciple their children, to indoctrinate their children in humanism, atheism, evolution, post-modernism, moral relevance, new age eastern mysticism, etc. The vast majority of Christian parents and pastors are encouraging, participating in, and helping pass on to their children a worldview that is man-centered rather than God-centered. They have abdicated their responsibility to educate their children according to Christ and God's Word. They have simultaneously put their children in harm's way by voluntarily institutionalizing them in public schools which have effectively become "pagan seminaries" and "schools of humanism" that are nurturing their children in alien creeds and infusing them with false and destructive values that are killing our children spiritually, morally, and intellectually.
If you don't believe me, and if you don't believe that public schools are really all that bad for Christian children, then please listen to the words of those who designed the school system to achieve their goals. Charles F. Potter, Signer of the Humanist Manifesto, stated: "Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every public school is a school of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday School, meeting for an hour once a week, and teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teachings?" John D. Dunphy, from the Humanist magazine, declared: "I am convinced that the battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers that correctly perceive their role as proselytizers of a new faith....The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and new - the rotting corpse of Christianity...and the new faith of humanism." Joe R. Burnett, editor of the Humanist magazine, clarified: "Public education is the parochial education for scientific humanism."
In conclusion, there is a very obvious reason that the evangelical church is losing up to 88% of their children to the world within two years of graduating from public high school. There is a reason that the vast majority of Christian kids who go through 13+ years of government school indoctrination end up with a worldview that has been proven to be secular humanist and socialist/Marxist. If you care at all about your precious children that God has entrusted you with, then you must take them out of Pharoah's school system and set them free. You must join me and many other Christian parents in repenting for over-rendering our children to Caesar and start rendering them to God. To “repent” means to completely change your thinking about an issue, to change your mind, and to then change your direction. It's time to remove our children from the public schools and to truly and faithfully educate them God's way, according to Christ, according to the Word of God, according to the commandments of Jesus, and according to the fear of the Lord and the knowledge of the Holy. When Jesus commanded his disciples to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, He meant for that discipleship and education to begin with their very own children and families, and then, from there, to disciple outwards towards the nations. Humanists and socialists and statists have always understood this principle and applied it, and that is why they are the ones in complete control of the education system in America and in most of the world. It's now time for Christians to take back control of educating their own children, either through homeschooling or through Christ-centered private schools.
This is not a call to try to reform the public school system. No! That is simply not possible and is unbiblical. Jesus warned us about false prophets and false teachers who would try to lead us astray. He didn't say to try to reform them and their schools, but rather to beware of them and stay clear of them. He told us not to follow blind teachers trying to lead the blind. He told us to examine the fruit of the tree, and if the fruit was bad, to recognize that the roots of the tree are bad, which causes the whole tree to be bad, and the only appropriate action was to cut down the whole tree and throw it into the fire (not to try to reform the tree). Study Matthew 7:13-18 and Matthew 15:13-14, where Jesus concludes: "Every plant that My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted. Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit." Remember, God is committed to reforming and reviving only those institutions that He started such as the family, marriage, and the church. However, God never instituted state education or government schools; on the contrary, He warned us about them and how they would end up destroying our children, families, and lives.
For help in removing your children from government schools or for assistance in learning more about homeschooling or finding a high-quality Christian school in your area, please contact: Josiah Friberg, through my blog at www.alleducationisreligious.blogspot.com God bless you in your repentance and obedience which will remove the curse of Malachi 4:5-6 and release the blessing of "restoring the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers."
When one seeks to learn what God says in the Bible about wisdom, understanding and discernment, he usually begins in the book of Proverbs. When we, as Christian parents, want to ask God for his wisdom regarding educating children God's way, we need to begin in the book of Proverbs as well.
The book of wisdom begins as follows:
"The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: to know wisdom and instruction, to discern the sayings of understanding, to receive instruction in wise behavior, righteousness, justice, and equity; to give prudence to the naive, to the youth knowledge and discretion, a wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel." 1:1-5
Now, ask yourself these two questions: For what purpose do I want to educate my children? And, what is the goal behind sending my children off to the public school for thirteen years?
Can you honestly answer, as Solomon answered above, that the purpose you send your children off to a government school to be "educated" is so that they will know wisdom and instruction, discernment and understanding, to receive instruction in wise behavior, righteousness, justice, and equity; to give your children prudence, knowledge, and discretion, and to make your children increase in learning and wise counsel? Before God, what is your real motive for institutionalizing your child?
Question: Is the government school system, which rejects the existence of God, which kicked God out of school 50 years ago, which threw out the Bible and the Ten Commandments, which forbids prayer to God, and which undermines your authority and the authority of God's Word on a daily basis - able to accomplish the goals of a truly godly and Biblical education that king Solomon describes above and that you desire for your child to receive in their education? No, it is impossible for an ungodly, anti-Christian, heathen, atheistic, humanistic, worldly school system to achieve the goals that Solomon declared and that Christian parents desire for their children. It is absolutely not possible. Those who think that public schools can achieve these results are deceived by the state or are self-deluded.
Next Question: How can Christian parents achieve the goals of true godly education that King Solomon describes?
The answer is found in Proverbs 1:7 and 9:10 which state:
"The FEAR OF THE LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."
"The FEAR OF THE LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."
The KEY to a truly Biblical and godly education that leads to wisdom and knowledge is to begin with the right foundation:the FEAR OF THE LORD and the KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE.
Question: Do government schools begin on this foundation?
Answer: No! There is no fear of the Lord or respect for God there. Do they pretend to? No! In fact, they vehemently state and demonstrate by their silence that God is not significant enough to even mention His Name or His being throughout the whole school year. In addition, they threaten to fire any teacher who dares to mention God or His Son or who dares to even quote from the Bible. How do I know this? I know this from personal experience, because when I was teaching in these government schools, I was threatened for doing just that and I lost my job at several public schools.
Question: Why do 85% of Christian parents hand over their kids to a godless, worldly, anti-Christian government institution day after day and year after year - to indoctrinate their children in creeds that are anti-Christian and completely opposite to the truth and wisdom of God and to indoctrinate them in moral relativism that teaches their kids that there are no moral absolutes and that teaches behaviors that are destructive and corrupt Christ-like character? Why do the vast majority of Christian parents subject their children to pagan public school indoctrination, all the while expecting them not to come home as ungodly pagans conformed to the world?
Answer: Because they are either ignorant of what God requires in His Word regarding the education of their children, or they are willfully disobedient to God's expressed will that Christian parents are responsible to provide their children with a truly Christ-centered education. Why is that? Some of the reasons include parents that have completely wrong priorities, wrong values, selfishness, greed, compromise with the world, and slothfulness. The sin of slothfulness is doing the easy thing, the comfortable thing, the convenient thing - rather than the right thing, the godly thing, the righteous thing.
Here's what King Solomon said would happen to those who refused to educate their children God's way and abdicated their responsibility and allowed the state to usurp that authority and duty:
"Wisdom shouts in the street...she utters her sayings: 'How long, O naive ones, will you love simplicity? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing, and fools hate knowledge? Turn to my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you'.
"Because I called, and you refused...and no one paid attention; and you neglected all my counsel, and did not want my reproof; I will even laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes...like a storm, and your calamity comes on like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come on you.
"Then you will call on me, and I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me, BECAUSE they hated knowledge, and DID NOT CHOOSE THE FEAR OF THE LORD.
"They would not accept my counsel, they spurned all my reproof. So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way, and be satisfied with their own devices. For the waywardness of the naive shall kill them, and the complacency of fools shall destroy them. But he who listens to me shall live securely, and shall be at ease from the dread of evil." Proverbs 1:20-33
This is a prophetic description of America's public school system today! All the darkness, evil, wrong, violence, immorality, illiteracy, poverty, dependence, and rebellion that we see in today's public school system is described right here by King Solomon 3,000 years ago. These are all the results of a nation that has turned its back on God and has expelled God from public education.
Dread has come upon our children and schools. Calamity has fallen on the schools. Distress and anguish are now a daily reality in public schools. The waywardness of the naive is killing our children morally, spiritually, and intellectually, and sometimes, even physically. The complacency of fools is now destroying our children in public schools.
Question: What is the reason for all of this distress, calamity, anguish, dread, destruction, killing, corruption, and death?
Answer: "BECAUSE THEY HATED KNOWLEDGE AND DID NOT CHOOSE THE FEAR OF THE LORD." Because they did not accept God's counsel and spurned His reproof. Therefore, they are now reaping what they sowed and eating of the fruit of their own humanistic and godless ways.
Question: What can Christian parents do today to save their children from such a horrible and destructive life and future?
*****Answer:***** Proverbs 2:1-12 gives the answer from God's mouth through King Solomon. If we take it to heart, remove our children from this godless system, repent, and take responsibility for educating our children God's way - either through home schooling or through Christian schools - then we can reclaim our children and put them into God's hands to save them, preserve them, and give them a future... BUT, we cannot expect God to save our children if we raise them contrary to His ways and allow the world to disciple them in moral relativism, spiritual relativism, multi-culturalism, and all kinds of dogmas and philosophies that are opposite of God's ways. That is the way of foolishness and unrighteousness and it leads to death and judgment. Christian parents must remove their children from public schools, once and for all, and never go back to the world and its ungodly ways to train their children. Proverbs 2:1-12 clearly teaches:
"My son, if you will receive my sayings, and treasure my commandments within you, make your ear attentive to wisdom, incline your heart to understanding; for if you cry out for discernment, lift up your voice for understanding; if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;
"THEN you will discern THE FEAR OF THE LORD, and discover the KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. For it is the LORD who gives wisdom; it is from His mouth that come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice, and He preserves the way of His godly ones.
"THEN you will discern righteousness and justice and equity and every good course. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; discretion will guard you, understanding will watch over you, to deliver you from the way of evil..."
It's time to do the right thing, the righteous thing, and to start educating our children for God, in God's prescribed manner, according to His Word, His commandments, and His instructions.
Jesus Christ taught that we are to "render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to GOD the things that are God's,"
but today 90% of Christian parents are rendering to Caesar (the state) the things that belong to God, which include our precious children, the most treasured gifts that God has entrusted to our stewardship and discipleship!
Shockingly, 90% of Christian children are sent into the government's indoctrination camps called public schools by their Christian parents.
Tragically, as a direct result of these Christian parents neglecting and disobeying God's clear Biblical Education Mandate to give their children a thoroughly Christian education, to disciple them according to Christ, rather than conforming them to the world, we are losing 85% of Christian children to the world. Within two years of graduating from high school, 85% of these children will walk away from God, from their faith, and from the church.
Christians will NOT win the Culture War until they first REMOVE their children from government schools. Watch this short video and then pass it on to your family, friends, and most importantly, your pastor.
In this presentation ("Whoever Controls the School Controls the World"), dynamic speaker Dr. Voddie Baucham knows what most parents are too quick to dismiss: whoever is teaching our children is also discipling them. Truly, all education is religious, and education is discipleship.
Dr. Baucham persuasively argues that Christian parents need to take the initiative in their children's education and stop turning them over to the anti-God environment of the government school. Using Scripture, statistics, and sound reasoning, Dr. Baucham powerfully makes the case that whoever controls the schools does indeed control the world.
Listen to the words of that great leader of the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther:
"I am afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt."
The Bible teaches that Christian parents have the God-given authority, duty, and responsibility to govern the education of their children and to make sure to give them a thoroughly Christ-centered Biblical worldviewgodly education. See Deuteronomy 6:5-7, Ephesians 6:4, Proverbs 1:8, Proverbs 22:6, and 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
The existence of anti-Christian secular humanist government schools is not the problem; the real issue is Christian parents using these ungodly schools to train their children. It is time for Christian parents to repent, turn away from this foolishness, remove their kids from the government indoctrination centers called "public schools," and take personal responsibility to truly educate their children according to Christ, either through homeschooling or through partnering with high quality Christian schools.

"See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to CHRIST." - Col 2:8
It is shocking to me that 85% of Christian children in America are taken captive every day for 7 hours by a state controlled public school system that is diametrically opposed to everything that their parents believe in and that is designed to corrupt and destroy their children's faith, morals, and intellect.
Every day millions of Christian parents send their precious children off to be indoctrinated by a religious system of humanism, new age mysticism, and secularism, all of which are completely contrary to the teachings of Christ. The public schools have taken our children "captive" through worldly philosophies, empty deception, ungodly principles, and according to the fallen tradition of men.
Who is responsible for this tragedy that has destructive eternal consequences on their souls and minds and bodies?
We, Christian parents, are responsible before God for this terrible tragedy, because we have not obeyed God's command to disciple and teach our own children and raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, according to Christ. Instead, we have abdicated our parental responsibility by giving our children over to the great usurper, the State, to rob our children of their faith and endanger their souls, minds, and bodies.
For all of this we must repent to God and to our children, turn from our willful and selfish and negligent ways, remove our precious offspring from these godless prisons of indoctrination, and take responsibility to educate them according to Christ, in God's way. If we don't, we will forever lose this generation of children, as well as future generations.
For assistance with removing your Christian children from the ungodly state usurper system called "public school" and with learning more about homeschooling or private Christian schools, contact the Exodus Mandate Project.
