The Fear of the Lord and Education Part I - Educating Generations for Christ

 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Prov 9:10

 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Prov 1:7

A foundational principle in the Bible is:  “the fear of the Lord” is the beginning of wisdom and of knowledge.
All true learning and education must begin with the knowledge of God and the holy fear of the Lord.  

 In what is probably the oldest book in the Bible, and certainly one of the oldest verses in the Scriptures, we read:

“Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding? ….God understands its [wisdom’s] way; and He knows its place….Then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out. And to man He said, ‘Behold, the FEAR OF THE LORD, that is wisdom;  and to depart from evil is understanding’….With Him are wisdom and might; to Him belong counsel and understanding.”  Job 28:12,23,27-28 and 12:13

What exactly is "the fear of the Lord?”

Noah Webster defines it as:  “In good men, the fear of God is a holy awe or reverence of God and his laws, which springs from a just view and real love of the divine character, leading the subjects of it to hate and shun every thing that can offend such a holy being, and inclining them to aim at perfect obedience. This is filial fear [of the Lord].”

As we see in this definition and in the Scriptures above, the fear of the Lord is often coupled with the accompanying heart attitude and behavioral action of hating evil and departing from evil. Here are a few other Scriptures that show this important relationship:

“By lovingkindness and truth iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord, one keeps away from evil.” Prov 16:6 “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the perverted mouth, I hate.” Prov 8:13  “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.”  Prov 3:7

In light of these Scriptures, a more thorough definition would be:  "The fear of the Lord" is to hate evil as much as God hates evil, and thereby to shun evil and turn away from evil so as not to offend such a holy being. This holy fear of God provides the conscience with the motive to be pleasing and obedient to God in everything, to turn away from evil, and to not give in to temptation.

The book of Proverbs makes it clear that “the fear of the Lord” is a godly virtue that must be valued, that must be chosen, that must be sought after, and that must be desired and searched for as for hidden treasure. Proverbs chapter two teaches how a disciple of Jesus can discern, cultivate, and find the fear of the Lord. Simply put, there is man’s part and there is God’s part, described in an “IF” condition followed by a “THEN” resulting reward. Man’s part is to actively cry out for discernment, to ask for understanding, and to seek for wisdom from God as silver and to search for her as for hidden treasure. This includes receiving God’s words and treasuring His commandments within one’s heart, actively listening to God’s wisdom, and inclining one’s heart to understanding.

In practical steps, this involves listening, reading, praying over, meditating upon, and memorizing God’s Word and God’s commandments. Christian parents need to model this to their children, practice it with them, and teach them this holy discipline of crying out for and searching for God’s hidden treasure of wisdom, knowledge, discernment, and understanding. This process can also be fostered, encouraged, modeled, and practiced in Christian home schools and in Christian day schools. 

However, this invaluable spiritual and moral discipline cannot be modeled and taught in public schools which despise the fear of the Lord and the knowledge of the Holy One and which are built upon the shifting sandy foundations of secular humanism, socialism, and atheism. The fear of the Lord is a virtue that is the antithesis of everything the government schools stand for. The fear of the Lord is incompatible with humanism and the idolatry of man found in government schools.

God’s part, the “THEN” aspect of this principle, is to impart into the heart of the searching disciple the fear of the Lord, the knowledge of God, discernment, and understanding. It is the Lord alone who gives wisdom, and from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. In this whole process, the disciple of Jesus will discover the knowledge of God and will discern the fear of the Lord, righteousness, justice, equity, and discretion. God’s stored up wisdom will be poured out on the disciple so that wisdom will enter his heart, knowledge will become pleasant to his soul, discretion will guard him, and understanding will watch over him to deliver him from the evil way and from the perverted man and from the strange woman and the adulteress. 

I will continue this message in Part 2 soon to follow...

Should Christian Parents Send their Children to Public School as Salt & Light?

When I talk with Christian parents about providing their children with a thoroughly Christ-centered education, one of their main objections is that they believe they should send their children to public school to be "salt and light" in the darkness. In other words, one of the most frequently heard arguments for sending Christian children into the darkness of government schools is that we should try to save the lost in those schools by sending our precious young children there as little evangelists. Does this argument sound familiar?

Here is my reply after an in-depth study of the issue using the Biblical, theological, historical, and educational evidence that is available to anyone who has ears to hear.

The "salt & light" command (and the "Great Commission") were given by Jesus to His trained and adult disciples, not to young children. This is a common misunderstanding in the church today. As an example of the fallacy of this kind of thinking, you'll never find a Christian family sending their 8-year-old son off to Africa to be a missionary to evangelize the lost. Missionaries who are sent to foreign lands are mature disciples and adults, who have been trained theologically in ministering the Gospel and fighting spiritual warfare, who have been trained in the foundations of the faith and in apologetics, etc.

Another problem is that when Christian parents send their young children into the humanist religion government schools, what actually happens is that most of them (85%) have their salt removed by the world (via teachers & peers & curriculum indoctrination) and most of them have their light extinguished. This has been documented by the Southern Baptist Convention's Council on Family Life, by Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis, by George Barna's Research Group, and by many others. When the church tries to apply the "salt and light" argument to putting their children in government schools, the world ends up converting the Christian children and conforming them to the world, not the other way around. And yet God's Word says, "Do not be conformed to this world..."  It simply does not work and is not only counter-productive but actually destructive to Christian children and their families. Sure, there's the admirable exception here and there, but the vast majority of these kids actually lose their faith because they are not adequately trained and grounded in their faith before being sent out into the darkness to be light.

I, for one, am not calling for anyone to pull up stakes and head for the hills. I am all for engaging the culture, challenging the culture, and transforming it through Christ & the Gospel of the Kingdom. We are truly called to be a city set on a hill and a light in the darkness, but the city is not a small untrained and unprepared child - it is the "called out ones" of the church who are gathered together as mature disciples of Jesus and who know how to give an answer for the hope that is within them. It is the collection of Christian families that make up the local church.

As parents, our primary purpose is to train up our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, to teach them the commandments of God (see Deut 6), to teach them our spiritual history and the great wonders of God, to disciple them and educate them for God, AND to protect them from the wiles of the enemy and the world that would seek to destroy them and turn them away from God. We protect them while we disciple them and while they mature in their faith and in holy character. Eventually, we they are grown up and mature, we release them as arrows that shoot into the future and God goes with them and makes them His salt and light. However, it is unwise and unBiblical and contrary to the teaching of Jesus and the apostles to send these precious little ones out into the hostile world prematurely, untrained, immature, and not prepared to overcome it by the blood of Jesus and the word of their testimony and by laying their lives down for their King.

I'm in no way "condemning" a lost world or saying that we shouldn't seek to save the lost. As grown disciples of Jesus, yes, of course we should and I do. This is one of our primary purposes. As we raise our kids "in the Lord," we can model this to our children in the safety of our family and home and church as we reach out to the lost. However, this does not mean we are to send them out into the enemy's camp as young children by putting them in government schools where their faith will be assaulted for 13 years and where they will be indoctrinated by and into a new religion - the religion of secular humanism. No, that is not God's purpose or plan for our children.

Nowhere in Scripture does he command parents to do anything so unwise. Instead, everywhere in Scripture He commands parents to teach their own children and train and raise them in the fear of the Lord, at home in the safety of their own families, with assistance from the church. Institutionalizing our children in state education is the most dangerous, unwise, and destructive thing any Christian parent can do, and it plays right into the hands of the humanists and their goal of destroying our children's faith and their parent's authority in their lives and replacing it with the new religion of secular humanism, post-modernism, moral relativism, and evolutionary Darwinism, so that they will become good submissive "dumbed down" socialized citizens who will worship the State as their "god" and look to the State to parent them and to provide them with everything they need. This leads to idolatry, Statism, and socialism, and the complete loss of freedom, independence, and educational freedom.

I pray that you would consider the points I have raised as you think through your philosophy on these things. These are not just my thoughts on the subject. I am sharing what I have learned over the past 3 years of intense research into Christian education and the history of modern education in America. There are many other Christians, including some well-known Christian pastors and leaders, who have done their own research and have come to the same convictions and conclusions. These include: Samuel Blumenfeld, Voddie Baucham, Erwin Lutzer, E. Ray Moore, R.C. Sproul, Jr., Doug Phillips, Herb Titus, Geoff Botkin, Gary North, Kevin Swanson, Stephen McDowell, Bruce Shortt, David d'Escoto, Israel Wayne, Bradley Heath, T.C. Pinkney, R.J. Rushdoony, If you are interested in the titles of a few excellent books on the subject, I would be happy to send them to you. For those who have "ears to hear," there is a vast amount of Biblical, theological, historical, and educational evidence that supports what I have shared.

Robin Hood, Government Schools, and Educating Christian Children God's Way

I would like to share with you one of the best satires I've read on government schools written by Israel Wayne.

Below is the link to his website and the article that you won't want to miss. Please forward this blog post to your friends and families so they can also benefit from the insight it provides.

School Satire entitled: "Robin Hood & the Government Schools," by Israel Wayne

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." - Thomas Jefferson

"Unjust and unlawful is any monopoly, educational or scholastic, which physically or morally forces families to make use of government schools, contrary to the dictates of their Christian conscience, or contrary to their legitimate preferences." - Pope Pious XI, 1931

Below is a YouTube video of Israel Wayne sharing about the focus of his ministry.

Christian Biblical Worldview Education Mandate: Parents Educating Generations for Christ

Our purpose is to strengthen Christian parents and families through the awareness of and obedience to the Christian Biblical Worldview Education Mandate. Our mission at Educating Generations for Christ is to inspire, motivate, educate, and equip Christian parents to obey God's Christian Biblical worldview education mandate by providing their children with a truly Christ-centered, Bible-based education, primarily through homeschooling or by partnering with a high quality Christian worldview school.

This education mandate must become the priority of the church, and the first step is to call all Christian parents to remove their children from the government public school system which is ungodly, anti-Christian, and founded on the religion of secular humanism where man is exalted and worshiped and God is denied and opposed. The harsh truth about public schools is that they are corrupting and destroying Christian children morally, spiritually, and intellectually, and this leads to 88% of these children falling away from their faith and falling in love with the world and self. The most important and powerful thing you can do to save your children from following after the world is to remove them immediately from the government school system and then to take personal responsibility for providing them with a godly, holy, Christ-centered, Bible-based education.



We are here to help you make this exodus and transition into educating your children for Christ and doing it God's way. True education is about being reconciled with your Creator through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross, submitting your will and life to Him, becoming transformed by allowing the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to renew your mind, discovering who God is in all His glory and character and goodness, learning to know His voice and love Him whole-heartedly, following Him and His commandments, and growing in a living and loving relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ (Yahshua Messiah).

The beginning of all true education, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding is and always has been - the reverential holy fear of the Lord and the knowledge of the Holy One, in whom is hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. The Bible begins with these five eternally significant words related to education: "In the beginning God created..." and then in the Gospel of John, "In the beginning was the Word (Logos)..." To truly educate our children, we must begin with God our Creator (not with man and humanism) who created all things by His great power and wisdom, and it is this living and eternal God who gives wisdom and understanding to those who fear Him and love Him.

The Value and Priority of Educating Generations for Christ

American schools are the best funded in the world, yet out of 41 nations, American students consistently rank near or at the bottom in mathematics, physics, and science. Despite their failing, more than 80% of evangelical Christians place their children in government (public) schools, exposing them to moral, academic, and physical danger on a daily basis.


"To commit our children to the care of irreligious people is to commit lambs to the superintendency of wolves." - T. Dwight, Yale University President 1795-1817




I grew up on the mission field and spent 11 years in Afghanistan and four years in Iran. I observed that one of the first things missionaries abroad do is to start Christian schools to educate the local people and teach and disciple them in the truth and principles of God's Word. Yet, when I came back to America, I was shocked to discover that most Christian parents allow their children to be indoctrinated by the government schools' secular humanist and new age socialist agenda. This makes absolutely no sense to me and is completely contrary to the mandate of Scripture regarding the education of our children. I can't understand why American Christian missionaries value the education and discipleship of their converts overseas, but back at home, Christian parents demonstrate a serious lack of value and priority for the education and discipleship of their own children in a Biblical worldview and Christ-centered educational environment.


Christian parents, "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." - Apostle Paul, Colossians 2:8

According to the Scriptures, according to our Lord and Master Teacher, Jesus Christ, and according to the prophets and the apostles of the Bible, education belongs to the family first, with assistance from the church. However, in America today the government has been permitted to usurp this vital role. Christian parents have abdicated their parental responsibility, authority, and duty, and given over their children to the world to be indoctrinated in creeds that are anti-Christian and hostile to their faith and to be brainwashed in moral relativism and humanistic socialism. Christian children who now graduate from public high schools are being surveyed regarding their worldview, and the evidence is showing that the vast majority of these "Christian" children are demonstrating that they have a secular humanist or socialist/Marxist worldview, rather than a truly Biblical worldview. Please see the PEERS trend chart above and the video clip below based on evidence is from the Nehemiah Institute. 




The great Reformation leader, Martin Luther, warned Christian parents about this grave danger:


"I am much afraid that schools will prove to be 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."

Warning: Government schools are dangerous to the well being of your children!


The Biblical instruction of our children may be the thrust that God could use to restore American society and revive the nation. A fresh obedience by the Church to its God-ordained role in education, may be the catalyst for a third great awakening. I plead with you, dear Christian parent, to remove your children from the public school system and enter the promised land of home schooling or Christ-centered day schools in obedience to God and for the sake of your children who belong to God. Please, render to God the things that belong to God; render to God your precious children who deserve and require a truly Christian education.

American Family Association Doesn't Go Far Enough on Calling Christian Parents to Remove Their Children from Public School Indoctrination

Dear American Family Association,

Thank you for this suggestion to pull our children out of public schools on April 15 because of the Gay and Lesbian "Day of Silence" propaganda. However, I don't believe you are going far enough or taking enough of a stand for righteousness.

Given that the public schools are the platform in this country for government indoctrination in homosexuality, immorality, moral relativism, secular humanism, new age mysticism, the lie of evolution and atheistic Darwinism, socialism, etc...why aren't you encouraging Christian parents to remove their children from public schools completely and altogether, once and for all? Why won't you stand up for righteousness, for truth, for the Christian family, for Christian morality, and advise and encourage your followers to do the same and to take the necessary steps to remove their children from government schools?

The evidence is clear and abundant:  public schools are killing our children morally, spiritually, and intellectually. Read Dr. Bruce Shortt's book on the subject. Watch the IndoctriNation movie by Colin Gunn & Juaquin Fernandez. Look at the statistics of the SBC.

The facts are: we are losing 88% of our evangelical Christian kids to the world within two years of graduating from public school. The truth is that we are losing them a lot earlier than that, and the reason we're losing them and the place we're losing them, is in education, is in the public schools that are leading them astray. They are being indoctrinated in creeds that are anti-Christian and in behaviors that are immoral and destructive. The schools are converting our Christian kids into pagans, while most of the Christian kids in these schools are not converting the pagans into Christians.

Please, please stand up for our kids, stand up for the Christian family, stand up for Christian education, stand up for righteousness, stand up for God's absolute truth.

Sincerely standing with God's children and for their deliverance from government school indoctrination,
Josiah Friberg

My letter above was in response to the following email that I received from Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association. I appreciate the work that AFA is doing in many areas, but I am very disappointed and saddened by the fact that they don't go far enough on this issue by not calling Christian parents to withdraw their children completely from such an ungodly and anti-Christian institution. 


Email letter from the American Family Association begins here:

April 7, 2011      If your child's school allows 'Day of Silence' propaganda, keep your child at home April 15. Let your school officials know that if they are going to allow social and political action in class, your child will not be there.

The Day of Silence, which is sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), fast approaches. This year it will take place in most public schools on April 15. On this day, thousands of public high schools and increasing numbers of middle schools will allow students to remain silent throughout an entire day-even during instructional time-to promote GLSEN's socio-political goals and its controversial, unproven, and destructive theories on the nature and morality of homosexuality.

Parents must actively oppose this hijacking of the classroom for political purposes. Please join the national effort to restore to public education a proper understanding of the role of government-subsidized schools. You can help de-politicize the learning environment by calling your child out of school if your child's school allows students to remain silent during instructional time on the Day of Silence.

Parents should no longer passively countenance the political usurpation of public school classrooms through student silence. If students will be permitted to remain silent, parents can express their opposition most effectively by calling their children out of school on the Day of Silence and sending letters of explanation to their administrators, their children's teachers, and all school board members. One reason this is effective is that most school districts lose money for each student absence.

School administrators err when they allow the classroom to be disrupted and politicized by granting students permission to remain silent throughout an entire day.
Visit this website for complete information on opposing the Day of Silence.  TAKE ACTION

1. Call your local schools and ask whether they permit students or teachers to remain silent in the classroom on "Day of Silence." IMPORTANT: Do not ask any administrator, school board member, or teacher if the school sponsors, endorses, or supports DOS. Schools do not technically sponsor the Day of Silence. Technically, it is students, often students in the gay-straight alliance, who sponsor it. Many administrators will tell you that they do not sponsor the DOS when, in fact, they do permit students and sometimes even teachers to remain silent during instructional time. Also ask administrators whether they permit teachers to create lesson plans to accommodate student silence.
2. Find out what date the event is planned for your school. (The national date in 2011 is April 15, but some schools observe DOS on a different date).
3. Inform the school of your intention to keep your children home on that date and explain why. (A sample letter is available.)

Educating Generations for Christ with God's Word and Rejecting Public School Indoctrination

“Ideas have consequences. What we believe determines how we live….The harsh truth is that public schooling is anti-Christ, literally, against Christ. Public schools substitute man for God in their explanations of all things….The secularism taught in public schools is diametrically opposed to Christianity. They are as different as night and day, and inflicting these lies on Christian children is a foolish thing.” – Bradley Heath

“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.” – Apostle Paul, Col 2:8

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” - Prov 23:7

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” – Prov 22:6

I beg you, Christian parent, pastor, leader, to search the Scriptures and see what God's Holy Word says about educating your children. God does not take the education of your (His) children lightly, and neither should you.

I challenge you to build a Biblical foundation of Christ-centered education for your children. Do it God's way. Do the right thing for your kids. Do the righteous thing in God's eyes. Follow the path of righteousness for His name's sake...

Public School's Goal of Turning Christian Kids Against their Parents

Please take a few minutes and read this very discerning and insightful article by Jeff Shafer, ADF Senior Legal Counsel.

Click Here to read this insightful article: We Hate You! Now give us (public schools) your kids so that we can turn them against you

This is further confirmation that one of the most important objectives of public schools is to UNDERMINE PARENTS AND USURP THEIR AUTHORITY in the lives of their children. The socialist "progressives" in control of government schools want to take the place of parents and indoctrinate what they consider "the state's children" in their socialist, statist, humanist ideology - which is really the state cramming their state religion down the throats of your children.

Listen up: When you send your Christian children off to be indoctrinated by the government and institutionalized by atheists and humanists,

you are giving them power, authority, complete influence, and permission to turn your own kids against you and against everything you believe and stand for, including, and especially, your Christian beliefs and Judeo-Christian values and morals.

Did you know that when you drop off your innocent children on the doorstep of your local public school, you actually are abandoning your parental authority over your children and you are giving that authority for the rest of the day to the government employees who will indoctrinate your kids? You can no longer object to what the state is teaching your kids during the day. You can no longer say, "I don't want my kid sitting in that assembly where they will be teaching homosexuality is normal."

This issue has been settled already in the courts and the verdict is in: when you leave your child at the government school, you have abandoned all of your parental rights over that child for the day and given that authority to the state to do whatever it thinks is in the best interest of that child (i.e. turn them into good little dumbed down socialist citizens who think like the world and agree with the government and make no waves).

Why in the world would you do such a foolish and destructive thing to your children?

If you do this, why are you surprised when your kids eventually lose all respect for you, challenge your authority and influence in their lives, and walk away from the Christian faith and God and church and the Bible?

Your action of institutionalizing your children in these government indoctrination centers called "public schools" is what caused them to eventually lose their faith, their character, their morals, their belief in God and moral absolutes, and to totally conform them to the world, rather than conforming them to Christ.

Do you really expect to hear the Lord say on the Judgment Day:

"Well done, good and faithful servant and parent?"

No! The truth will be exposed on that day, and your actions of condemning your children to a humanist and atheist based indoctrination camp will testify against you and you will be held accountable to God for what you did.

However, please know that it is never too late to truly repent to God and to your kids for what you have done, turn from your sin, remove them from this ungodly system, and start educating them according to God's way, according to the Bible, according to Christ as He mandates for all Christian parents to do. Repent now and turn away from public schools and DO THE RIGHT THING with your kids and for your kids. Your kids belong to God, and He will hold you accountable for how you raised them and how you educated them...

Here's the very best way that you can educate your children God's way:

HOME SCHOOLING, also known as Home Education or Home Learning.

Watch this short video on home schooling:

Educating Generations for Christ vs Public School Indoctrination

It's time to call all Christian parents to remove God's children from the anti-Christian, ungodly, secular humanist government indoctrination camps called "public schools."

Take 5 minutes and watch this prophetic call to Christian parents by the Exodus Mandate Project entitled, "The Call to Dunkirk."

This is a wake up call to Christian parents regarding the education and future of their children and of their children's children.

With over 80% of American Christian children being held captive every day in compulsory government indoctrination camps called public schools,

the truth is that one hour of Sunday school each week and maybe one hour of Christian training at home each week CANNOT undo or reverse the spiritual, moral, and intellectual damage and corruption of 14,000 seat hours of atheist, humanist, socialist, anti-Christian indoctrination by government teachers who function as priests of the religion of the state, which is secular humanism.



The Word of God to American Christian parents today is:

"LET MY CHILDREN GO!

REMOVE MY CHILDREN FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL INDOCTRINATION.

SEPARATE MY CHILDREN FROM THE WORLD AND BE HOLY,

FOR I AM HOLY AND
I HAVE CALLED YOU AND MY CHILDREN TO BE HOLY."

What God desires and requires as His will is revealed in His Word in the Bible:

"Do NOT be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? ...Therefore, COME OUT from their midst and be separate, says the Lord..." 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

"Fathers...bring them [your children] up in the nurture and instruction of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4

"And do NOT be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." Romans 12:2

"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

"See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of man, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to CHRIST." Colossians 2:8

It's time to DO THE RIGHT THING!

Christian parents must repent for the sin of SLOTHFULNESS,
which is choosing to do the easy thing, the comfortable thing,
the convenient thing, rather than choosing to do the right thing.

Institutionalizing Christian children in atheistic and humanistic anti-Christian government indoctrination public schools is doing the easy thing, and is therefore the sin of slothfulness.

This sin of slothfulness is causing millions of Christian children to stumble and fall away from the faith, and the Lord will hold all such Christian parents accountable on a future day of judgment. At that time, there will be no place for excuses such as "I didn't know," or "I didn't realize how bad it was," or "I was too busy to notice," or "I couldn't afford to do anything else," etc.

Jesus warned us in the Gospels that the worst thing anyone on this earth can be is a stumbling block to children. In fact, in Matthew 18:6, Jesus said that it would be better for such a person to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the sea, than to cause one of His little ones who believe in Him to stumble. Woe to Christian parents who become stumbling blocks to their children by institutionalizing them in a humanist worldly ungodly school system that will destroy their children spiritually, morally, and intellectually.

Let him who has ears to hear, hear what the Spirit is saying to the church and especially to Christian parents.

If you are guilty, remember, it's not too late to repent, turn from your worldly ways, deliver your children from this ungodly system, and set them on the path of righteousness. I beg you, do the right thing. Do the righteous thing. Do the God required thing - for the sake of your children and grandchildren. God expects it, requires it, and is waiting for your obedience.

Choose life, choose righteousness, choose God's way...DO THE RIGHT THING!

IndoctriNation - Public Schools & the Decline of Christianity in America

Take a few minutes and watch this trailer for a soon-to-be-released educational documentary made by two award winning Christian documentary directors/producers, Colin Gunn and Juaquin Fernandez.

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 their children according to the truth and principles of God's Word, and how this anti-Christian, anti-God, anti-moral, and anti-American, humanist, socialist, progressive 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...

And when the documentary movie comes out this summer,
make a commitment to yourself and to God
to do whatever it takes to watch this IndoctriNation Movie.

This film is a prophetic wake-up call to all Christian parents
regarding educating children God's way.

This film puts its finger on an American "idol" and American "tradition" that has exalted itself above God and is worshiped by millions of American Christians who daily offer up their children to the "god" of statism, socialism, and humanism, and it's all because of slothfulness, covetousness, pleasure, and convenience.

We, American Christian parents, are guilty of "slothfulness," which is the immoral and sinful 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, Yahwah, your Creator, 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 Harsh Truth About Public Schools & Christian Parents Educating Children God's Way

SHOCKING FACT: 88% of evangelical Christian children are leaving the church and walking away from the faith within two years of graduating from public schools.

WHY? The reason for this is that 85-90% of Christian parents in America have given their children over to Caesar to be indoctrinated by a secular humanist, socialist, anti-Christian worldview "public school" system that is completely contrary to everything that the Bible stands for, to what Christian parents say they believe, and to the values, moral absolutes, ethics, and principles Jesus Christ and of the biblical Judeo-Christian worldview.

The vast majority of Christian children in America are not being educated according to Christ and his commandments, are not being discipled in the truth God has revealed in His Word, and are not being taught and mentored by their parents (or even by godly Christian teachers) according to the Biblical Educational Mandate as found in Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Matthew 28:18-20, and Ephesians 6:4.

Please take a few minutes and watch this YouTube video that was recorded at a Southern Baptist Convention a few years ago. The second person at the microphone is Roger Moran from Missouri, and the third person with the yellow tie is Bruce Shortt of Texas.

The topic is the "culture war" going on all around us between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness, between righteousness and wickedness, between Christ and the false gods of statism, secular humanism, and socialism.



Roger Moran makes a good point when he says, "At what point are Southern Baptists going to rise up and say, 'Enough is enough!'?"

Bruce Stortt makes an excellent point when he says that the Southern Baptists want to "engage the culture," but what that really means is "an abject surrender to the culture!" He strongly disagreed with the leader of the convention who urged Christian parents not to remove Christian children from the public schools because that would mean removing a "Christian witness" from the schools.

However, the fact is that Christian children are being converted to the world in public schools rather than converting the world to Christ. The harsh truth is that we're losing almost 90% of these Christian children to the world and their salt is being neutralized and their light is being extinguished! Jesus told his mature, adult, trained disciples to be salt and light in a heathen society, not children. Nowhere in Scripture are children missionaries. For decades now, many Christians have believed in the "salt and light" rationalization, but what do we have to show for it? The shocking truth is that Christian children in public schools are not converting the heathen, but rather, the heathen are converting our Christian children.

Shortt points out that in the California public school system, all children, including kindergarteners, are being INDOCTRINATED to believe that homosexual, bi-sexual, and other sexually deviant lifestyles are moral, normal, and acceptable. Homosexuality is actively being mainstreamed in all government schools, starting from age five, and there are now over 3,000 school districts that have homosexual clubs in middle schools and high schools.

For an in-depth look at the immoral, unrighteous, anti-Christian, and destructive humanist indoctrination system called "public schools," please read Dr. Bruce Shortt's book, The Harsh Truth About Public Schools.

In his book, Dr. Shortt states:

"Contrary to what many Christians have been led to believe, there is no such thing as a 'neutral' education," Shortt writes. "All education is religious and conveys a worldview, and there is no more important decision that we make as parents than how we educate our children."

"Unfortunately, Christian parents allow an aggressively anti-Christian institution to form the minds of their children, and the fruit of that choice is bitter. The overwhelming majority of children from evangelical families leave the church within two years after they graduate from high school; only 9 percent of evangelical teens believe that there is any such thing as absolute moral truth; and, our children are being forcibly indoctrinated to believe that homosexual behavior is acceptable."

"Homeschool parents must have this book to minister to their Christian friends and neighbors, pastors and skeptical relatives. Our government-school habit is sowing the wind, and unless Christians turn from this gross sin we will reap a whirlwind that is unimaginable."

In his book, Shortt documents the dangers of public schools, saying the anti-Christian thrust of the governmental school system produces inevitable results such as "moral relativism (no fixed standards), academic dumbing down, far-left programs, near absence of discipline and the persistent but pitiable rationalizations offered by government education professionals."

Shortt urges pastors and Christian leaders to read the book so they might "understand why the church can no longer abdicate its historic role in the education of our children."

This book makes it clear why no Christian child should be left behind in government schools. "Our Christian children are perishing because parents and pastors lack knowledge. The information in this book exposes the 'salt and light' and the 'our schools are different' rationalizations for educating Christian children in pagan schools for the contemptible falsehoods they are."

"Any parent or pastor who genuinely desires to be faithful in the education of Christian children needs to find out what the public schools are actually doing, rather than relying on what they are saying they are doing or on memories of the public schools as they may have existed 10, 20 or 30 years ago."
