Today we were sent a very angry comment which I chose to reject due to the offensive manner in which it was written. The writer was upset and offended by the stand we take against public education. I would not be so arrogant to think that NO child can be educated in a state run school and still be a strong servant of God. That is simply not so. My husband attended public school for the majority of his education. Miss L stated that it was not the school's job to teach our kids the Bible.
It is not so much about what they don't teach in the public schools as much as what they do teach.
What we do believe is, that there is a REAL danger in the public education system. We also believe that the education of children is a responsibility given to parents by God. God gives each family specific children for a reason. You are the parents of those children because God chose you. You have the experiences, the knowledge, and the temperament, best suited to raise that child to the glory of God.

Is your teaching being compromised? Your children spend more time under the influence of an education system that is nothing more than propaganda, promoting the agenda of Satan Himself, than the influence of you and your church. What was it that Hitler said? Something about... if you say it loud enough and long enough the people will believe it? I've found it to be true that children learn by repetition and example. In school they are sat down and taught that you are a liar, that God is a fairy tale designed by poor uneducated ignoramuses. They are told that sexual orientation is something that "nature" chooses. They are taught that they are more informed than their parents. They are taught that God's idea of family is oppression. They are taught all these things and more. And it is repeated over and over and over again. They see it lived day after day. Aren't parents taking a very big risk that their teaching won't be lost in the smoke? Isn't it playing Russian Roulette with your children's spiritual welfare?
I'm sorry if I've stepped out of line in the manner in which I've stated our views. But I do not apologize for the stand we take. We feel very strong about this and have chosen to home-school our children. If you have not chosen to do that, well, all I can say is, let God be the Judge. I have not nor will I ever go to someone else's blog or web site and comment in such an offensive manner. We are not to argue and fuss with one another. Miss L has the ability to feel the way she does about her choice, I do not begrudge her of her freedom of speech. However, I also ask that I be given the same respect. This is our blog where we share our beliefs. If Miss L. wants to share her beliefs on a blog she may start one of her own.
If you have been put in a position where you have lost the privilege of educating your child the Bible way, I hope you realize that I'm not talking about you. I know your heart aches for your children. God also knows and will protect them. My heart goes out to you.
If you think that what we are saying is a bunch of hype, then please, I beg you to go to this site and watch the news special by Fox News. Here's the link to the Glenn Beck Show March 5, 2010. It is about forty minutes long and I will warn you that it does use cr_p a few times and quietly uses one other cuss word. However, the message is unbelievable! The show encourages you to watch it with your children, but I would suggest watching it first and then decide if you want your children watching it or simply to talk to them about it. These are real dangers and history IS repeating itself.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
May God have pity on both the United States of America and Canada for relinquishing our freedoms at the expense of our children.

Is Public Education an Option?
Are you considering putting your child in public school? Be informed. This is what is happening in Ontario, Canada. It can (or maybe has) happened to your school district too.

Please, take the time to read the above article. Then click on the links below. They are from the official Ontario Education site:

"...and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom." Genesis 13:12
Are you pitching your tent toward Sodom? Be informed, pray sincerely. Turn your tent around.
God bless. Keep a prayin'!

Even so, Lord, come!
I was just looking at some articles about Religious freedom in Canada. I would like to share them with you.
First, I would like to point out some articles about the religious education of children. Please take time to read these articles.
The following article disturbs me. I understand that it's written expressly for the purpose of organized public, private, and religious schools, but maybe the problem isn't who should be funded, but who's responsibility is it to educate children?

I found this one last week after hearing on the TV news about a girl who was ordered to put her Bible in away in her back-pack by her teacher in a public school. I realize that these situations occurred in the USA, but Canada has already lost this battle. So, Americans, look and see what's coming to your country:

Why would any Bible-believing Christian choose to put their child into Satan's territory to be educated? In Communist countries one of the first steps to total persecution is the state school system. If they can indoctrinate our children they can turn them against us and God. Why put your child into the midst of persecution and indoctrination? We are losing our freedoms faster than you think. Our kids WILL face heavy persecution even IF we don't. Why put them in the middle of it before its necessary? Why not spend their early years equipping them for the time when they will stand before a Godless society without Dad and Mom there to hold their hand? I realize this is going to anger some who read it, but it is time God's people asked themselves some very serious questions! Are we serious about our beliefs? Are we willing to be persecuted for them? Are we willing to give our children to God's will and trust Him to use them for His glory AND to equip us to raise them? What would you do if any of the persecutions in the next article happened to you?

Christian Horizons is a Christian Organization that provides various types of group homes for disabled Canadians. This Group has been put under persecution for firing one of their employees who violated the code she agreed to when taking the job. She "came out of the closet." Previously, a private organization has had the freedom to run itself according to religious beliefs. Recently, Christian Horizons has faced a court case to appeal a previous court decision. Read it for yourself:

What is going to happen if they lose this case? What next? Churches? How much are we willing to give up?
As 2009 winds down, ponder your past freedoms and what you are willing to do without in the future. Will we still be free to serve the One and True God? This should not be viewed as a horrifying time in history. I believe that God has chosen us and our children to take part in the last days. Its exciting! Know that God is in control. He created us and our children for a purpose. Be encouraged to take a stand, not just in theory, but in reality. Even so Lord, come!
God bless. Keep on a prayin'!
