Education is Discipleship

Who is a disciple? A disciple is a learner. When Jesus walked the face of the earth, He had disciples that learned under him. A good disciple talks and acts like his master. He or she eventually becomes a replica of his master.

A good disciple spends a lot of time with his teacher. Eventually, he begins to talk and act like his teacher.

Who is discipling your children? You or the school system? How much time do you spend with your kids in a 24 hour period? How much time do they spend with the school system in 24 hour period?

Just something to think about.

Education or Indoctrination

In Deut. 6: 4-9, the Lord God tells us to teach His word to our children at all times. He tells us to teach it to them diligently. Most Christian homeschoolers like me take this scripture to heart. We know that since the hearts and minds of children is still very soft and "moldable", it is essential they are molded to right shape (God's Word).

The public school system is built on humanisim and unless you are parent who takes the time everyday to diligently undo what the schools are doing to your kids and replace it with your values (which means your child will be "attending" two schools in one day) chances are your child will start to believe, think and act like a humanist. This is indcotrination and it is what has been and is still going on with our schools.
