From Homeschool Helpers

Listen to this article.

The leftists oppose homeschooling so much because it takes the children out of their control. Whoever controls the children controls the future of the nation. When they train the children, they train them overwhelmingly to be Godless socialists. That is why the nation is becoming as it is.

When homeschool families regularly attend a church where most of the young people in that church are public schooled, there is a stark difference in the culture of the two groups of young people.

The public school kids in such churches will often be consumed with being cool. Christ is not their master. Cool is their master. Cool controls the way they dress, what they do with their spare time, the way they talk – ultimately, the way they think.

Christian homeschool kids will usually not be slaves to the cool culture. The public school church kids then often mock and ridicule the homeschool kids because they are not “cool.”

That, too, is a part of the public school culture. They segregate themselves off into cliques and then attack others who are not in their clique. That’s all part of being cool. Being cool is self exaltation. To exalt the self you have to put others down.

So the church public school kids, who prove they are cool by wearing their clothes to show their underwear, both boys and girls, mock the uncool Christian homeschool kids. They put them down.

That, then, becomes a problem for the homeschool families. The homeschoolers certainly don’t enjoy going to a church where they’re made fun of because they are taught Christ instead of cool. And sometimes homeschool kids -- because of the public school church kids -- can decide they want to be part of the cool culture and don’t want to be homeschooled any more.

If your family goes to such a mixed multitude church, remember a couple of things.

First, these young people who go to church and to the public schools are tomorrow’s heathen.

Don’t forget that when you see them in your church.

A number of studies have been done showing that these public school church youth almost always leave that church once they are grown and free to choose their own life. The figures vary a little in different studies, but they all show that overwhelmingly the public school kids from Christian families turn against Christ soon after becoming adults.

That is certainly no surprise. That’s what they are taught in their whole education.

Here is an example of the cool culture that will be and is already controlling the public schools. From One News Now, June 6:

“Infamous homosexual activist Frank Kameny is defending the extreme pornography available at the International Mr. Leather convention held recently in Chicago.

After Americans for Truth About Homosexuality exposed the extremely graphic and, in many cases violent or abusive, hard-core pornography displayed and sold at the convention, Kameny contacted Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth.

"[Kameny] said 'the idea of sexual perversion, as a concept, is meaningless.' And, so, he's basically saying, 'There's no such thing as sexual perversion,' because if any sort of practice gives somebody happiness, then it's not a perversion," LaBarbera says.

A man known for organizing one of the first 'gay rights' protests, Kameny defended the extremely graphic pornography. "He also advocated 'harder-core' pornography for people who enjoy pornography. And, so, what we're seeing here is a man who helped pave the way for the celebration of homosexuality in this culture now lauding pornography and all these perverse behaviors. And I think it just shows you what class of behaviors homosexuality belongs in," LaBarbera contends.

LaBarbera is concerned about the credibility Kameny has received because of his political activism. His first protest sign and papers are on display in the Smithsonian's Museum of American History.

"And someday we risk, if the homosexual lobby keeps advancing, we'll see kids taught lessons about Frank Kameny, comparing him to the likes of Martin Luther King and other civil rights heroes... But I don't know of many American civil rights heroes which [sic] say that there's no such thing as sexual perversion and laud and approve of 'harder-core' pornography," LaBarbara points out.

Kameny led the charge to have homosexuality removed from the list of mental disorders treated by healthcare professionals. He calls Christians "christiano-fascists" and "the American Taliban."”

The reasoning there is – if there is no perversion, then there is no pornography.

The Democrats are supporting Gay Pride Month. What I just read is what they are supporting. These leftists control the public schools. This type of culture is what they seek to evangelize among America’s youth, and more than anything else, they use the public schools to preach that.

And it works very well.

About four out of five public school students from Christian families will turn against Christ. Therefore, when you see young people in your church congregation who go to the public schools who strut their worldly cool in front of your homeschool kids, understand that they are tomorrow’s heathen. They just haven’t had a chance to make the break yet. There is only one way to life. Christ is the way, the life and the truth. Almost all those young people will turn away from the way, from truth, and from life itself.

Explain that to your homeschooled children when they encounter the cool public school kids in church. Turning away from Christ and from life might be cool, but it’s not good.

Second, when you homeschool families attend a church where most of the young people are public schooled –

Which is to say, where most of the young people spend most of their lives in a culture that does not allow God, but does allow obscenities, sex, drugs, violence, homosexuality, and various and sundry other manifestations of Satan’s will –

When you homeschool families attend a church where most of the young people are public schooled – ask yourself why you are there.

If you are a misfit in your congregation, maybe you shouldn’t be. Maybe you should stop trying to fit in there.

Most congregations try a “please everybody” approach.

Kind of like Barack Obama.

He says he wants to heal the divisions in America. Why are there divisions in America? Because the liberals have adopted every single sin which they can dig up -- adultery, abortion, sodomy. Not only have they adopted these perversions, but they aggressively seek to force them on me. In order for me to get along with Obama, I have to accept all these Obamanations. If I don’t want to accept that, then I am being divisive.

Most churches take the approach of sliding with sin instead of standing against sin. For example, the pastors will almost never tell their congregations to give their children a Christian education instead of an anti-Christian education. They know some of their people would be offended over that, and rare is the pastor who is willing to offend his congregation over a little thing like sin and salvation.

If you are a misfit in you public school church congregation, maybe you shouldn’t be. Maybe you just shouldn’t be there.

Has your church taken a stand against the homosexual public schools?

A movement which corresponds to the homeschool movement is the home church movement.

As a few got tired of the institutional education, so a few are getting tired of the institutional religion.

They choose to meet in small groups, without formality, without liturgy, without expensive buildings, and without a professional, pusillanimous clergy. Instead of following a church creed, they seek to follow Christ. Instead of learning doctrine, they learn from the Bible. Each person seeks to follow Christ individually, as the Master leads. As it is with Christian homeschooling.

Most Christians do not actually look to the Bible for what they believe, you know, because very few actually study it religiously. When a person realizes that he will not be saved because of his denomination or church or pastor, it leads to much more intense Bible study.

The United States and other western nations are near the point where the only organized corporate churches allowed will be those which submit to the liberal religious beliefs. As in China, any Christian groups which seek to truly follow Christ will have to be small groups, not highly organized, not highly visible, not wealthy in buildings and salaries – and not under government control. And it is Christ Himself who is leading us in that direction.
