Okay. I homeschool for the same reason, as I mentioned earlier.
However, last I checked, God's wisdom DOES include caring about those and reaching those who do not know Him.
Given the fact that the two women signed a covenant that they did not live by, it makes sense that the school called them on it. They are a private school with certain standards, and that is their right.
But I am really tired of Christians who are so exclusive that they wouldn't allow a kid who lives in rather difficult circumstances to attend school. If the kid is disruptive, or if the parents are lying, fine...expulsion seems okay. But this thread has delved into the "we have standards, and they aren't welcome among the 'righteous'," and, quite frankly, I find that Pharasaical and antithetical to the message of Christ. Christ welcomes all to the table, and getting sin out of our lives is a process, not always a once and for all.
Again, I hope that this school was prayerful in their dealings with the family. I do not subscribe to "whatever lifestyle, whatever you want to do is okay with Jesus" philosophy, but equally heretical is the "no one welcome who isn't exactly like us" mentality. It is a narrow road.
THANK YOU my point exactly. My point the whole time is to confront our and i am including myself in it too, "country club" atmosphere where we think people have to look and behave like us before we share the good news with them. I certainly have been guilty of this in my life and want to encourage others that it is not the fact that they do everything right that will get them to heavan but by the shear grace of God that we are.
We are a Christian home school family ourselves. We do try to make a point of developing Non christian friends because it is easy to just stay in the Christian Home school community and not seek out those that need Christ.
It is a narrow road. Seems I've heard that somewhere before. Something about a gate, too.
I understand your concern about appearing as a pharisee, however, do you want your 13 year daughter hanging around, making friends and learning to accept lesbian ways? I'm sure these ladies are nice enough to be around but it's still openly sinning and rebelling against God. It's tough teaching our kids to be holy, because God is holy, in a world that is always calling them hypocrits, bigots, uninformed and self-righteous. During the formative years, I will guard them and fill them with God's rules. Hopefully, they'll always be in a Bible-based church that doesn't cave to the pressure of worldly wisdom and teach heresy in order to be "inclusive." There's a time to reach out to non-believers and a time to remove non-repentent sinners from the flock lest they lead others astray. Let's protect our Christian institutions.
