Whosoever is not for Me is against me.

Who are our public schools for? I don't think there is anyone who would say they are for Christ (except a handful of paranoid atheists). I personally believe our schools actively teach the religion of Atheism. but lets say they are neutral, do not teach any religion at all, one way or another. Jesus said if you are not for Him then you are against Him. Our neutral schools are not for Him, so they must be against Him.

Can a child's education be “for Christ” if he attends a “neutral” school and has an hour's Bible study tacked on on Sunday morning? Or even every morning around the breakfast table?

The Bible says to bring every thought into subjection to Christ. Does this mean History, math and Grammar, too, or just theological thoughts? Does every mean every?

Col 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Deu 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Eph 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not (frustrate not) your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture (culture) and admonition (education)of the Lord

This is what it boils down to. It is not a question of academics or social issues. These are irrelevant to the main question. It is a question of obedience to God's commands. Can we obey His commands to bring our children up in His nurture and admonition and still send them away to a non-Christian environment for thirty or more hours per week?

Which appears to be doing the better job of “Training their children in the way they should go?” Could it be you have to be with a child in order to Bring them up?

I have read many gimmicks and tricks about how to counter public school, peer and media influence in our children. It is as if many believe God forgot to tell us in His Word how to raise our children where they will love Him. But God does not do that. When He gives us a job He gives us the tools we need to handle it. We don't need fancy, schmancy gimmicks. We need to obey The Word!

2Cr 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you

Keep your kids away from those who are trying to steal them from God. Keep them immersed in Him, 24\7, and they will grow up strong Christians.

Pro 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it

2Cr 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity EVERY THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ

Deu 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Eph 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not (frustrate not) your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture (culture) and admonition (education)of the Lord

If you obey, you will reap the rewards of obedience.

If you disobey, you will reap the rewards of disobedience.
It's that simple.
