Our children will grow up to love God; they will be well-educated and spiritually mature, always following the Lord and living godly lives.
Wrong.
A quick search of the internet will prove this is simply not the case. I loved the blog post Israel Wayne posted not too long ago addressing the current trend of homeschoolers who are rejecting their parents’ faith and basically dishonoring them.
