Do We Need Christian Schools?

The argument and emphasis presented here is for the consistent godly nurture of our children which necessarily involves a strictly Christian education. Positive and biblical reasons are given, and some objections to an exclusively Christian education are answered.

Some basic questions:

1. Who tells us what to do with our children?
2. Who does God hold responsible for the care of his children?
3. Is the nurture of children ever neutral?
4. Does the bible say we must have schools?
5. If we have schools must they be Christian ones?

Some objections:

• The hot house objection. Are you not creating a hot house for your children?
• Won't children rebel against such a stifling stricture?
• Are we not in danger of doing the Holy Spirit's work?
• State education didn't do me any harm.
