For the unconvinced regarding Christian Schools or Christian homeschooling.

Suppose a minister was asked to teach your children’s Sunday school class at the religious meeting house you attend. This ‘minister’ denied the deity of Christ, the Trinity and the plenary inspiration of the Bible. Would you allow this man to teach your children or would you protest? If you would protest, why would you do so? Obviously, because to give your children over to an antichristian teacher is a violation of God’s law. Now, at what point does it become lawful before God to send your children to sit under the teaching of this same man at the state established ‘religious’ meeting house down the road—called the state school? The only difference in instruction being a change of location and time and the assumption of a fictitious neutrality.

“I can see little consistency”, stated J. Gresham Machen, “in a type of Christian activity which preaches the Gospel on the street corners and at the ends of the earth, but neglects the children of the covenant by abandoning them to cold and unbelieving secularism”.

The excuses for taking the short term ‘easy’ road of state education are legion among Christians. They range from “I can offset the public schools influence by teaching my children at home between lunch and after school (which only admits of guilt, while at the same time begging the question), to the always present “I don’t have the time” or “I can’t afford it” (though large mortgages , new cars, televisions, etc. are easily affordable). Eternity will witness the damage that such a selfish and ungodly agenda produces.
Are you a covenant (law) keeper or a covenant (law) breaker when it comes to your children’s education?
