Desiring the Best...

Desiring the best for our children is a goal that we, as parents, have for them. How do we reach this goal for our children? How do we provide the very best for them?

Does providing a great education for my child mean I am doing the best for my child? A good education is very important. Our school strives to provide our families the best in guidance and the best in bible-based curriculums. We desire to help build strong Godly families by helping them teach their children at home with God honoring curriculum. We believe this is helping you as the parent to do one of the best things you can for your child.

Why do we believe using God honoring curriculum is the best? True wisdom comes from God’s Word. A great education must be founded upon absolute truth. Accurate information is essential. Giving our children the truth in all aspects of their learning is important to a great education. Using Christian curriculums based on God’s Word is essential. The secular curriculums of the public schools do not provide accurate, truthful information in all areas of study. Our curriculums are built upon God’s truth and teach principles needed to live by. Character training is essential to a great education. What does Proverbs 2:4-6 have to say about wisdom? “ If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”

Truth (true knowledge) without understanding God’s Word will never lead to wisdom. Giving our children wisdom to make decisions for life is the reason we believe in using God honoring curriculum. We are giving our children the best. We are preparing them for life.

Our children can receive an education from many sources today. Our choices are many. Choosing the right school and curriculum for our children should not be based on what we can afford or what our child wants, but on what is the best. Will that school or curriculum provide me the means whereby I can instill wisdom into my children and keep their heart for God?

Every time one of our families goes to the public school system for financial reasons or just because their child wants to socialize, we fear for that child. We want the very best for everyone. We know the child will not receive absolute truth and that their opportunity to learn wisdom is greatly diminished. Just the influence and the peer pressure to conform to others, so they can be accepted, is not going in the right direction. God expects you, the parent, to direct your child’s education. Why would we turn this obligation over to a godless institution? We know parents can give their child a great education right at home with the proper materials and guidance.

We pray that parents will seek God’s will for their children and determine to give them a Christian education based on God’s word, and that they will never turn their children over to a godless school system. God’s will for our children is more important than our human reasoning or what our children may desire.

Give your children the best. Developing a heart for God, with Godly character, with knowledge of the truth, with a trust in God’s word to lead them is the best education. Do God’s will and trust God to provide your need in order to continue to give your child the very best.
