Articles on education, including curriculum recommendations, book reviews, resource reviews, and the case for Christian education.
The Bible does not tell us where we should educate our children, but it does tell us how we should educate our children. So before we evaluate our educational options for our children (public, private, or home school), we must first look at what the Word of God says about education.
Read MoreWayne makes the case that God actually has a lot to say in His Word about educating children.
Read MoreIn the absolute very best scenario, public school students are getting seven times more secular instruction than religious instruction each week.
Read MoreIf you have the money or if your parents are willing to pay for such an education (or you receive a good scholarship), why would you pass up such a great opportunity?
Read MoreThe Christian solution to secularism is not subjection to more secularism. No, the Christian solution is more Christianity.
Read MoreMoses was really concerned about parents teaching their children and passing down their faith in Yahweh to their offspring.
Read MoreLuther defended the Bible as the highest authority in all matters, and it is because of this that he believed in Christian education.
Read MoreThis it is a reference work that every educator—parent or school teacher—should have on the shelf.
Read MoreOne side says parents should leave the public schools because they are a bad influence on the kids. Then the other side asks, "Well is it a sin to send kids to public school?"
Read MoreIf Mr. Tisby really wants to serve the poor, he will join me in advocating for Christians to turn their efforts towards Christian education. This is a far better way of serving those in need.
Read MoreWhat better way to teach children Christianity than questions and answers about important doctrines?
Read MoreDr. Ruffner obviously advocated state education in Virginia and thus criticized Dabney. Dabney then fired back with four letters that can be found in his Discussions. His first letter, titled, “The State Free School System Imposed Upon Virginia by the Underwood Constitution,” was written on April 18, 1876. Dabney comes out swinging in this letter.
Read MoreA potential objection to the insistence on Christian education is that Moses and Daniel received an unbelieving education in their day. Therefore, one may argue that it is acceptable to send Christian children to secular schools today (i.e. American public schools). But what does the Bible actually say about Moses' and Daniel's education?
Read MoreWe can quarrel about whether atheism or agnosticism is a religion. But there is no denying that these are still worldviews. Everyone has a way of looking at the world. Everyone has fundamental beliefs about life, and these beliefs are shaped by religious views (or lack thereof).
Read More"It is self-evident that on this scheme, if it is consistently and persistently carried out in all parts of the country, the United States system of national popular education will be the most efficient and wide instrument for the propagation of Atheism which the world has ever seen."
Read MoreI usually review books that I can recommend. However, I decided to review Going Public: Your Child Can Thrive in Public School by David & Kelli Pritchard because it one of the only books I am aware of that encourages Christians to send their children to public schools. Forgive me for being unduly harsh in this review, but this really is a terrible book. And Tim Challies should be ashamed for writing a favorable review.
Read MoreThe goal of the book is, as the title suggests, to get Christians Thinking Biblically About Education. However, the subtitle tells the reader more about the book's argument—Why Parents Should Abandon Government Schools and Take Back Control of Education.
Read MoreParenting has fallen on hard times in our day, as many parents have abdicated the responsibility to raise their children. This is sad because of the monumental influence parents have on their children. No one understood this influence better than R.L. Dabney, the great Southern Presbyterian pastor and theologian.
Read MoreI want to talk about one of the most pressing issues of our day—education. But rather than invoke the opinions of man on this subject, I want us to look at a very important passage from God’s Word, Deuteronomy 6. God has much to say about parenting and educating our children, and this is one of the central passages on the subject.
Read MoreDabney’s best works on education are found in his Discussions (a collection of essays published posthumously by his friend), with his most important work being his essay “Secularized Education.” I would like to outline and summarize this great essay, as it provides a devastating critique of the secular education so common today.
