WHY SCHOOL PART 2
What if instead of using pencil to color in parts of a circle, we helped our children learn fractions by having them double a recipe and divide it into tins to distribute throughout the neighborhood?
What if our children took their music lessons seriously, not primarily for a solo performance judged by an adjudicator, but so that they could serve the Lord with their talents during congregational worship, bless the lonely in nursing homes, and accompany singing whenever it is needed?
What if reading was more than a tool to increase personal knowledge and pleasure? What if the purpose of learning to read was to share God's Word with the lost and lonely?
What if our children learned to write a persuasive essay, not merely for a good mark, or an outstanding transcript, but so they could demand justice for the unborn, decry minimum wage entitlement in favor or hard work, or that we are all created in Gods image no matter the color of our skin or our ethnic background through a column or letter to the editor of their local newspaper?
What if we taught our children to make a habit of asking themselves, "How can I serve the Lord today by serving others with what I learned?"
Teach your children that they don't have to wait until they have passed enough tests, are finished with high school, graduated from university and have entered the vocation of their "calling" to start serving the Lord with their gifts; teach them that they are never too young, too inexperienced, or too unlearned to use their education in the service of the Lord...
...and then...give them opportunities to practice just that!
Welcome!
Thank You!
