Martin Luther on Education

“I am very much afraid that schools will prove to be great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt.” --Martin Luther (as quoted in Education and the Founding Fathers by David Barton)

Tell me, why do the majority of Christian parents send their children to secular schools which will likely undermine the faith of those children? Parents are demonstrating that they lack a biblical worldview. For a humorous and biblical explanation of what parents should be doing, I highly recommend How Can We Raise Godly Children? by Ken Ham. This is a thought-provoking and encouraging DVD from one of my favorite speakers.
