Harry Blamires, in his book, The Christian Mind, writes that "to think secularly is to think within a frame of reference bounded by the limits of our life on earth: it is to keep one's calculations rooted in this -worldly criteria. To think [C]hristianly is to accept all things within the mind as related, directly or indirectly, to man's eternal destiny as the redeemed and chosen child of God."Thinking and education go together, or at least they should. As Christians we must ask ourselves some hard questions when contemplating the education of our children. Does the educational institution I am considering reflect my deepest beliefs? Do those who will admonish my children share my deepest beliefs? Will this educational process prepare my child to function and think in a Christian manner or a secular manner?
These are hard questions, but these question and others must be considered inside of prayer in regards to the education of our children. Ultimately, the decision regarding the education of your children is between you and God, but it will be one of the most important decisions you will ever make as a parent.
