If you are raising children
(Today is National I Care About You Day)
Train up a child in the way he should go [teaching him to seek God’s wisdom and will for his abilities and talents], Even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 AMP
If you are raising children, make whatever sacrifices are necessary to ensure that their education is first of all centered-on Christ. All other topics are of lesser importance and are subject to knowing the love of Jesus and how to live for and with Him. As a parent, or anyone else who has influence over how our most innocent are educated, do everything you can to keep the evils of this world from drawing children away from the Savior. Fill them with the glorious word of God so they are not lost to the world while they are too immature to know the difference between truth and lies. Give them the foundation of life built upon the Rock that is Jesus. And then, when they are old enough to truly understand, they have been given the best opportunity to choose the path of life. The enemy has put great effort into infiltrating every aspect of education and society to steal our children before they know better. We must combat that by the power of the Holy Spirit and our material resources to not let that happen. Will a great education in the love of the Lord guarantee a child will choose the path of life immediately or eventually? I don’t know. But I do know it’s far more likely they will choose to follow Christ if they have been taught His love and ways over whatever twisted philosophies of the world are prevalent in society.
