Some excerpts:
“More parents are more concerned that their children will have playmates than that they will have a biblical worldview. But that’s probably because roughly 6% of Christians actually have a biblical worldview, and only about 34% of pastors do!”
1/
“What is a biblical worldview?
Everyone has a worldview. It’s the basic core beliefs a person has that determine how they see the world. It determines your view of people, culture, politics, and morality. A biblical worldview shapes our view of every part of life through the lens of scripture.
Decisions, opinions, lifestyle, culture, governments, and civilization can be shaped by the scriptures when people operate from a biblical worldview. The opposite is true, as well.”
2/
It is a biblical responsibility to train our children with a biblical worldview.
The government school has a worldview
Some will say, “Ah, but public schools are at least not anti-Christian. They are neutral. They teach the raw facts: the mechanics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. At home and in church, we teach our children about God.” This undoubtedly is the attitude of many professing Christians. But it is horribly unbiblical. Nothing in this universe is neutral with respect to God.
3/
“There is no such thing as a neutral education. There is no neutral curriculum. Assuming that an education without religion is neutral is wrong. There is a worldview being taught in public education; in fact, there are many. Among them are naturalism, Marxism, feminism, and humanism.”
4/
When school lessons leave God out, they are still making a statement. They are teaching your children that God does not matter, and that He is not relevant to their lives. They teach that God has no involvement with humanity, that God is not the creator of life, and that the Bible is a myth or just a nice piece of literature. Without explicitly stating these things, they teach all of them to your children for thirteen years. (And honestly, some schools literally do state them openly.)
5/
No wonder that 71-88% of teens who identify themselves as Christians in America leave the faith by their first post-high school year.”
There is no “good school,” or sports opportunity, or college scholarship worth the sacrifice of our children’s worldview. When we strip our parenting priorities down to biblical bare bones, this is what we come to realize. The souls of our children matter; where they spend eternity matters.
6/
And everything they learn throughout their childhood leads them somewhere: either to God, or away from Him.
Socialization and worldview go hand-in-hand
Please, for just a moment, consider how much time your children are “socializing” with their public school peers. 7 hours a day? 8 hours or more? 4 or 5 days a week? Consider the adult supervision taking place during this socialization.

Proverbs 13:20 tells us, “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but a companion of fools will be destroyed.” If we’re honest with ourselves, we know the second part happens more often than not.”
