Salt and Light?

How many Christians know that they could keep their children at home and choose to leave them in the clutches of the schools under the premise that "our children are being 'salt and light' to the schools"? Deep down they know that they should keep their children at home.

Didn't Jesus say that we're to be "salt and light"? What will happen to the schools if we Christians pull our children out?

What will happen to our children if we don't?

Well it's been happening for a good century or so now and the results are all around us everyday. Some Christians think we started to slide as a society when we took God out of the schools, but I have news for you; God was never in the schools! No never. Yet I have even heard from the pulpit that home schooling is a form of (ungodly) rebellion! Such Biblical ignorance...

Are you guilty of using this foolish phrase, "salt and light"? Have you fallen for this reasoning? Have you helped deceive others with it? Have you helped to nourish and pet and sustain it instead of stabbing it in the throat with a long steely knife like you should?

Our children are NOT being  "salt and light" when we send them to the schools, they are being "thrown out by men and trampled underfoot," yet every generation is being sacrificed on the altar of this half-baked, half-Bible, tom-fool idea! If someone suggested that Christians should hang around in bars, so that the bars in America will not be bereft of "salt and light", you should quickly realize that "salt and light" does not hang around in bars no matter how much they need it in there! That is simply not the way the Kingdom works. We are the Salt of the World and Light of the World WHEN WE ARE DOING THE WILL OF GOD, not when we are WORKING AGAINST the will of God.

How could it be otherwise?

This "salt and light" thinking is no more Biblical than satan's attempts to trick Jesus with half Bible truths. Fortunately for us, Jesus didn't fall for it. Unfortunately for our children, we did.

Sending children to school is NOT THE WILL OF GOD. That will be hard for some people to swallow, but it is the Truth.

If you want to know if you should 'home school', look around your house; if you have children, it is 100% the will of God that you should keep them at home and teach them yourself! You don't have to inquire of God! If you have access to a Bible, it is 100% the will of God that you read it. You don't have to inquire of God! If you are a sinner it is 100% the will of God that you be saved. You don't have to inquire of God! If you have a wife it is 100% the will of God that you be faithful to her. You don't have to inquire of God! If you have a husband it is 100% the will of God that you be faithful to Him. You don't have to inquire of God! If you have food it is 100% the will of God that you eat it. You don't have to inquire of God! If you have children it is 100% the will of God that you should feed, clothe, and teach them! You don't have to inquire of God!

If you have children it is 100% the will of God for your life and the lives of your children that you keep them at home, raising them in the fear and admonition of the Lord! You don't have to inquire of God! It is absolutely certain. The consequences to the schools are NONE OF OUR CONCERN, but we are to follow Him. The Bible is quite clear that we are to aspire to lead quiet, orderly lives, raising our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. If the schools are raising your children, you are failing to fulfill this command; and if the schools HAVE your children, they are RAISING them.

They only send them home to eat and get some sleep.

It is never the will of God that any people, much less His People, should ever hand over the children that they have been blessed and ENTRUSTED with to an impersonal institution of any kind; government, private, or "Christian". They are not being "salt and light" in there, they are being chewed up and spat out with all the rest of society as every generation gets progressively weirder and farther from God.

The truth of God's desire for our children to be raised by their parents is right there in the Bible from Genesis all the way to the Revelation, but We His People have been DECEIVED by SATAN, we have been LIED TO by the WORLD"S SYSTEM, and we have been BULLIED by threat of GOVERNMENTAL PUNISHMENT.

All the while we had the dusty truth right there on the coffee table.
