Why is Homeschooling Vital for Christian Families
in This Generation?

When we turn on the news to see school shootings, washroom gender confusion, transgender ideology, and coaching aimed at kids or listen to the corrupt anti-Christian agendas being pushed through the school's education system, it should cause Christians to cringe. 

For me I find these very upsetting because my heart mourns for all the children who will be brainwashed and whose character will be slowly corrupted as they are being moulded to suit the world. The education system has been infiltrated by and sold out to agenda pushers. It worries me a lot because what future will we as a community, nation, or world have without a moral compass and a firm and anchored standard which can only be set by God Himself and not any man. Men's standards and morality is ever changing because it is all opinions. 

Only God can give the facts on morality. Whether one believes in God or not, it is discernible to anyone that the morality of men is unstable and we are edging more and more to crossing every moral line drawn by the generations of the past. We are also told in Scripture that lawlessness will abound, and we are seeing signs of it all over, especially with these social agendas being pushed through the schools. This is just one more very critical reason we as people of the Faith ought to homeschool our children.

Hence this editorial is a battle cry for the people of God to use wisdom and make necessary sacrifices to guard our future, our children. Guard their minds, their eyes, their ears, and hearts from the corruptible seed being dispersed through the public education system. We owe it to our children and to God to preserve His children that He has given each of us to train. 

The only way to bypass most of this wicked agenda pushed through the schools and the schools educational materials is to homeschool. Here is one of our tests as servants of God: Are we willing to sacrifice self in order to preserve God's innocent children? The truth is homeschooling is a sacrifice because most times in a traditional home, one parent will most likely have to give up their career, especially if there are several children involved. It means one will lose an income line hence lose the ability to spend more on comforts and leisure of life. This is why I call it a test. Another example is in a single parent home which is even harder, but it is doable through prayers and determination. My sister who is a single mom was able to have her work transition her from the office to working from home. This enabled her to take her two children out of the public school and start homeschooling them. 

Once one plans the daily agendas and work schedule ahead, things will fall into place, especially when enlisting God's help. I was unsure of homeschooling at first myself, but I knew that God was leading me to take this step and now eight years later I'm glad I did. My child is now eight years old, and I'm glad I resigned from my IT job at one of the big banks here in Canada. I gave up my career, money, and even faced negative remarks from family and friends for doing so. But I knew God was calling me to this job, to work for Him and taking care of the one He was sending to me to train and guard for Him for a time. 

I have no regrets; instead I'm filled with the feeling of accomplishment and that I have a purposeful life. This feeling cannot be bought or sold. So I urge other parents to step out and overcome the fears and know you are working for God. So expect that He will make the road easy to bear and help you over every hurdle, training you as well to help others. Be a forerunner!
