Once More – with Feeling! “Government Education is Evil!”
I know – our (unregenerate) children are to be sent into the world’s system of “education” to be salt and light; ignoring the context which tells us it is Christians – not unsaved children of Christians – who are to … Continue reading

A short film that examines the question: Are “good morals” enough?
If we don’t point to and focus on Christ, our morality is worthless and will not bring honor to our God. This 24 minute film was made by a handful of young people from my church. For the glory of … Continue reading

Sermon of the week: “The Sufficiency of Scripture and the Gospel” by Paul Washer.
We who home educate, oppose youth ministries, believe Christians should dress modestly, etc. are often accused of believing this way of life makes one a Christian and makes one holy. And of course, we deny those baseless charges of “legalism” … Continue reading

College conspiracy.

My thoughts on youth ministry and Vacation Bible School.
Summertime means BBQ, swimming pools, fireworks, and lemonade. But it also means sweltering heat, mosquitoes, and Vacation Bible School. For many Christians this is the time of the year when they’re all abuzz about the wildly popular week-long evangelical event … Continue reading

How “socialized” government school kids “interact” on the bus.
It’s pretty bad when a local news station has to get involved in a matter like this because the school won’t help to put a stop to the violence perpetrated against a four-year-old girl. You can see the video and … Continue reading

Second-grader sent home and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation for drawing a crucifix.

Not content with lowering the educational bar, one public school was selling grades.
Yet one more reason to support your local home school: a public school in North Carolina was actually selling grades. It reminds me of the Roman Catholic organization who sells indulgences; but I digress. Here’s a quote from the news … Continue reading

What exactly IS a “unicorn” anyway?
We hear from the skeptics so often, that the Bible can’t be trusted because it talks about “unicorns.” The word “unicorn” comes from the Greek Septuagint (LXX) rendering the Hebrew word raeim as monokeros, meaning “one horn.” And, of course, it … Continue reading
