I have seen a lot of negative reports about education in the news lately. It is discouraging to hear where we are headed. Moses instructed the children of Israel to follow God’s instructions because it would be good for their quality of life. We are instructed to raise our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. God didn’t give his laws as a punishment but as protection for our lives. The Bible says; “ to teach you to observe in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess, so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commandments that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.” Education is very important for our children because it will direct their entire lives. Approximately two thirds of every local governments budget is going to public education. Millions of dollars that is used to teach everything but God’s statutes. If there is anything that being defunded would help society it’s probably government run education. Hitler would have never got his country to the evil they achieved without controlling education. It was important for God to tell his people to teach their children righteousness. It’s important to the quality of life and longevity. The prince of this world (the devil) has been gaining control of our government run education. Localities are now run by decades of indoctrinated educators. Being controlled by the government because of promises of government funds. They are trained to follow guidelines and never question. There are Good godly educators but they are silenced under threat. Think about how much Godly instruction our children get every week compared to the opposing(worldly )instruction received in public schools. We must protect the minds of our children so we not only give them joy and quality of life but also save their souls. Many school divisions are testing low in reading, mathematics and science. So what do you think they are spending most of the instruction time on? Just wondering. Pray for our children. God bless all. Pastor Kevin Watkins
