Proverbs 1:7

The Call of Family Discipleship

One of the key roles of the family is for the father and mother to teach their children.

Satan has moved people away from that, because he knows how important it is.

The one who teaches the next generation is the one who shapes the world.

Satan moved on Karl Marx’s mind to put this as the tenth plank in his communist manifesto: state controlled, state funded, public education for all children.

Today, the public education system is the indoctrination center for all the evil we see in the world.

The Hebrew model/God’s model is: parents teaching their children in the home and teaching them wisdom.

The word philosophy today has taken on somewhat of a connotation away from the Biblical meaning.

True philosophy is loving God’s wisdom and truth.

Steps to a complete education of a child:

  1. Wisdom in the heart (Proverbs 3)
  2. Knowledge in the mind (1 Kings 4:29-34)
  3. Skill in the work of the hands (Proverbs 6:6-11/Proverbs 31:13-14)

The Greek model’s excessive focus on sports undermines a work ethic.
