8/15/26 Developing a Love for Learning 2002
How can you develop a genuine love for learning in your child? Carole Seid, an educational consultant said, “The single most effective tool in shaping a child’s character is great literature.” The right book at the right time can change a child’s destiny.” How can parents build genius in their children? Dr Raymond Moore, the grandfather of homeschooling, says statistical research of geniuses throughout the ages shows there are three common elements to producing genius. Jesus said, "The greatest commandment is to love the Lord with all your … MIND." A secular education can't do that but home schooling can.

8/8/26 A Christian in Secular College 2001
The percentage of Christians in this generation has declined to just 4%. A huge percentage lose their faith at college. How can a
Christian survive in an anti-Christian campus? Abby Nye, a courageous Christian, university student, and author of Fish out of
Water-Surviving & Thriving as a Christian on a Secular Campus, tells how professors intimidate and convert Christians into
humanism. Her literature professor told Abby that the Bible is a book of myths and not a credible source. Yet she was required to
buy a Koran for her required class on Islam. What’s the future for the Church if the majority of Christians leave the faith?

Parents! The education you choose for your child will determine their success or failure in life! How do home-schooled students do as adults?

A leading researcher, Dr Brian Ray, President of the Home Education Research Institute, found homeschoolers were more socially and political involved. And that 94% of home-schooled students kept the faith of their parents! While the majority, 85% of those who go to public schools, reject their Christian faith.

7/18/26 Pagan Public Schools 1998
If public schools just teach academics, why do nearly 90% of Christian students lose their faith in Christ after going through public schools? What does the Bible say about educating children? Voddie Bacham, author of Fault Lines, was raised by a teenage, single, Buddhist mother in the LA ghetto but succeeded in earning an MA from South East Baptist Seminary. He says Christians are making a big mistake in trusting Caesar’s schools to disciple Christian students. Jesus said a student will become like his teacher. Relativism trains kids to break the Commandments. Christian teachers must teach an ungodly curriculum.
