Because of God’s commands – “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” (Matt 28:20)
“Fathers… bring up your children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4)
“…These words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to children… (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
Because God promises blessings if we obey His commands –
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)
“…seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all things shall be yours as well.” (Matt 6:33)
Because it becomes clear with each passing day that the way of living for many people in our country is very much against God’s will.
“Do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matt 6:19-21)
Because we parents love our children, we want them to learn of and experience the love of Jesus in a school dedicated to seeking His will!
“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit’s fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold onto the good. Avoid every kind of evil.” (1Thess 5:19-22)
