A hot topic over the years at Faith Bible is how we educate our children. The subject of home school verses Christian school verses public school seems to spark debate often. Cliques are formed and judgments thrown around. In our home we have experienced all three avenues having started our children in public school, then Christian school, and home schooling a foster child. As a family pastor, I have been told that I am against all three at one time or another and I have heard too often of stories in the church about pride in all three camps.
I am going to let Pastor Joshua Harris speak on this topic as he addressed it to his church recently. I would “amen” his comments and goals knowing that first of all, every parent in our church has made a personal choice and wants the best for their children. We all share the same camp as the church – we are the “saved by grace” camp. Pastor Harris states, “If we don’t all cross the finish line – we all fail. We want to care about other people's kids..them doing well, loving God, being strong…we want hearts that get excited when we see others doing well..see God prospering them..We are all crying out for God’s mercy – it doesn’t matter where your kid goes to school, we all need mercy for it is the only thing that will get us through as moms and dads.”
Listen to Joshua Harris and then let’s repent of the comments and pray for our families and schools – all 3 camps.
