The Home Is A Place For Continuous Learning- Part 4

Most of us are pretty familiar with the words in Deuteronomy 6:6-9. “And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up…Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”   This scripture is recited everyday in Jewish homes and weekly in the synagogue, yet, those reciting it have yet to understand it or begin to obey it.  God is clearly charging parents with the education of their children of both knowledge and Biblical truth.   It doesn’t mean that parents are to be the sole teachers of their children.  But, we are responsible and have complete authority to choose what kind of education and who teaches our children.  I would advocate that it is a great advantage to have the children, especially the young ones, being home educated because parents would be more able to shepherd the child’s heart than only seeing him a few hours a day.   Deuteronomy does say to teach our children throughout the day. 

In fact, due to our present controlling government, home educating our children can have the greatest impact to how our government and country changes in future years.   Making our homes a center for our children’s education will give a big blow to the “socialist agenda” our government has planned to go.

Nothing is “free”

The idea that public education is free is a big lie.  Every time something is said to be free, we become very discerning, especially if it comes from the government.  Public school, including charter schools, comes with a price tag, your freedom and your children.  For the last 200 years, people lost sight of how important freedom in education is.  We have given our children away to be indoctrinated by a humanist, atheist and immoral system of education.   One of the most important documentary films that clearly explain the indoctrination in the public schools is Indoctrination.  Get it. It is absolutely to be in our home library.  I have given it to neighbors and they have immediately made the decision to home educate their children just by watching this documentary.

Best Time To Home Educate Is Now

Like never before in history, we can home educate our children and be able to teach them anything we want under the sun.  Information has never before been so readily available with technology, like the internet and all the books available for free.  Seriously, who can’t home educate?  When my children ask me a question that I don’t know the answer,  I tell them, “let’s research it”.  They are learning that there are no limitations to learning.  If the Wright Brothers could invent the mechanics of flying, with limited resources available, and the countless of inventors and discoveries made, we have no excuse.

Advantages of Home Education

I will give just a short list of the benefits of home educating because they are simply many.

1. We have the privilege of being our children’s main teachers.


2. Learn to love to explore and make discoveries in
   God’s creation.


3. We can better shepherd our children’s hearts.  And have their hearts.


4. We indoctrinate our children in Biblical Truth and how to love God.


5. We can teach them what they are interested about instead of insignificant or unwanted material.


6. The whole world is their classroom instead of being locked up in a school campus.


7. Experience the blessings of God by obeying this command.


8. The subjects to learn together as a family are limitless.


9. Build stronger faithful generations as our children also home educate their children and continue.

10.Our churches and government will be stronger and more godly as we raise our children to lead in the world and take dominion.

11.We teach and learn from living an adventurous life with our children.

12.No time restrictions and no wasted time:  We teach while cooking, cleaning, gardening, home birthing, shopping, eating, at every moment and opportunity.

There are so many more.  These blessings are not easy either.  There will be things we may need to sacrifice to have our freedom.  I don’t believe anyone has obstacles in this area that can’t be overcome.  I speak from experience.  When you weigh the cost, the obstacles are worthless.  The souls of our children are worth more.

Is your home a place for education?  If you wish to home educate what are your fears?
