I don't exaggerate at all when I say that I believe education is the most important issue right now facing our families, facing the church, and facing our nation. And people say, “Oh well how could you say that? What about the Great Commission?” Well, I believe the Great Commission is inextricably intertwined with education.
If parents aren't discipling their own children, how in the world do they think they're going to disciple the nations? It's simply preposterous. They say 50% of families now in America are falling apart, ending in divorce. Our cities are crumbling. They're on fire half the time now. it seems like the political class is totally out of control. I do feel like our nation is on the verge of destruction.
And I believe the single most important reason we're in this mess is because we have failed when it comes to understanding God's design for education and for discipleship. I think the reason we got into this mess, even when it comes to the church, is because we allowed our children to be educated and really discipled by the world by a system that is hostile to Christ.
There is no short-term solution. Everybody wants the silver bullet that's going to save us in the next election. I don't think that's possible. It took generations to get into this mess. The only way to fix it is for parents and pastors to go to the Word of God, find out what God says about education, and then implement that to the best of their ability by providing Christian education and proper discipleship to the young.
