ADVENTURES in HOME EDUCATION

A True School of Discipleship

Parenthood is an adventure. Protestant Reformer, Dr. Martin Luther observed that marriage is the true school of discipleship. He claimed that he learned more in one year of marriage than he had learned in 10 years in the monastery! Luther also observed that there is no love so sacrificial as that of a parent.

Three Decades in Education

For my wife and I, our adventures in Home Education began 29 years ago with the birth of our first child. Now that we have four children and three grandchildren, we can look back on almost three decades of family adventures in education with awe and gratitude at all that the Lord has taught us and accomplished, in spite of our doubts, fears, frailties and failures.

DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR WORLD?

BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW SUMMIT

4 - 11 January 2021, Western Cape

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.” Colossians 2:8

The Biblical Worldview Summit practically prepares young people to deal with the issues, temptations and pressures of life. Young people are equipped with the facts and skills they need to deal with humanism, Hollywood and evolutionism. The Summit is primarily aimed at young adults (ages 13-30), but all ages are welcome. There will be a parallel children's programme for younger children. "They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount on wings like eagles." Isaiah 40:3

PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION to DEFEND THEIR FAITH

PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION to DEFEND THEIR FAITH 1 Very few churches and youth groups are equipping young people to defend their Faith in the midst of an increasingly hostile, anti-Christian environment at school and at university.

Failure

Mike Licona, apologetics co-ordinator at the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, admits that he has failed as a parent to prepare his children to defend their Christian faith:

My failure is especially embarrassing because I'm a Christian apologist. I equip Christians with evidence so they may have a strengthened faith they can share confidently with others. Through lectures and public debates I also challenge seekers of truth to give the evidence a fair look and become a Christ follower.

Yet, I never equipped my own children. There were two reasons why. I'm not discounting a bit of laziness on my part, but my wife and I have always wanted the faith of our children to be their own and not ours. And we made the huge mistake of assuming their youth pastors would occasionally touch on Christian evidences. I was shocked about two years ago when I asked both of my children how often they had received teaching related to Christian apologetics during their Sunday school classes and youth group meetings. Answer: Never. Not once? Zero. Zilch. Nada.

A Celebration of Evil

Halloween is a religious day, but it is not Christian. Tom Sanguinet, a former high priest in Wicca has said: "The modern holiday that we call Halloween has its origins in the full moon closest to November 1, the witches' new year. It is a time when the spirits (demons) are supposed to be at their peak power and revisiting planet earth… Halloween is purely and absolutely evil and there is nothing we ever have, or will do, that would make it acceptable to the Lord Jesus."
