Are your kids being catechized on Sunday or just entertained? Scripture holds teachers to a high standard regarding the content they teach and how they do it (James 3). This standard applies even to our Sunday School curriculums and the people we have leading our children. While it is appropriate to customize our content based on our audience, it is never appropriate to dumb down Christianity or to simply try to entertain our children. Sunday schools must develop a robust and precise curriculum to introduces children to the depth of Christianity. Christian parents must ask more from the Sunday schools they allow their kids to attend. 🔗Click here to watch the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/gbdppJDW . . . #MAVENParentPodcast #sundayschool #parenting #apologetics #worldview #faith

Join Scott and Joffre as they discuss some broader applications of Christian education! While we need to be cultivating our own proverbial gardens it's also essential that Christians collaborate for the greater good of the kingdom in general.

"Are the public schools an educational "neutral zone," or a humanistic program designed to undermine the influence of the Church and the family? Is there any truth to the "salt and light" argument that encourages Christians to send their kids to public school? Sadly, most American Christian children are being disciplined daily by pro-choice secularists, atheists, evolutionists, politicized bureaucrats, far-left unions, and often even child molesters. Under the guise of education, the publicly funded monopoly of Government schools has engaged in a vast program of social engineering designed to eradicate the Christian faith from American life. This film warns Christians about the subversive and anti-Christian nature of the American education system and calls on all Christians to participate in a mass exodus from government education for the sake of their children and the future of America. ""Every Christian parent with a child in a government school should see this and be forced to confront their unwillingness to do what Scripture requires for the children on loan to them by God. A mass exodus from government schools is the only way to preserve the souls and minds of our children, whether it gets the attention of politicians or not...and it would." — Cal Thomas, Fox News political contributor We want to help you get your kids out.

Preaching Racial Justice conveys the urgency of Christian antiracism preaching from ecumenical, intercultural, and intergenerational perspectives. In addition to being a handbook for preachers, Preaching Racial Justice can readily serve as a textbook for ecumenical schools of theology and ministry, as well as for discussion groups among congregations looking for insightful theological and practical ways of understanding race, racial justice, white supremacy, white privilege, white fragility, racial oppression, black suffering, #blacklivesmatter, racial and personal reconciliation and healing, or beginning the necessary process of dismantling racism within the church and society. https://lnkd.in/eBg6z_-x #race #blm #blacklivesmatter #blackfaithmatters #racialjustice #gregoryheille #mauricenutt #deborahwilhelm

How Can Christian Parents Effectively Teach Their Children Humility?

Australian Major Parties Have Failed Christian Schools! If the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) gets its way, Christian schooling as we know it will cease to exist in Australia. In a media release, the leaders of Christian Schools Australia (CSA), Australian Association of Christian Schools (AACS) and Associated Christian Schools (ACS) called the report “a direct attack on faith and freedom of belief in Australia”. We likewise put on record our deep disappointment with both major parties, who have failed the nation time and time again. The Liberals, once a strong ally of Christian schools, have shown that they are no longer up to the task of defending Australia’s religious institutions. Australians concerned about the future of Christian schools should no longer lend their vote to parties that make big promises at election time but keep failing to deliver. The only solution is to vote 1 Australian Christians in next year’s election. Stand with us as we stand up for Christian schools.
