DO YOU WANT SUCCESS FOR YOUR CHILDREN?
The next question we need to ask is: “what are you teaching your children? It's easy to get into the mode of packing information into your children's brains, the more the better! But "information" is not education. "Right thinking" is education. Unless your children know how to think correctly, information won't do them a lot of good.
Right thinking comes from God's Word—even though it is often contrary to how society thinks and what is taught in the public education system. Isaiah 55:8, 9 says: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
To truly educate your children, you must give them the right foundation, which is GOD-THINKING, not humanistic thinking!
Are your children more accustomed to the thinking of our humanist, socialist society, or are they more familiar with God’s living and eternal words? Sadly, I find that most children and teens, even from homeschooling families, know very little of God’s Word. They don’t even know familiar Scriptures.
Your greatest teaching is what God thinks. Therefore, dear mother, what are you doing about it?
