Homeschooling isn’t in the Bible

I’m honored to join the Ministry Team of Expository Parenting as a monthly contributor! Josh Niemi, author of the book by the same name, has invited me to share on Christian parenting and home education. I’m starting off this month with a topic that’s been on my heart for some time: Homeschooling Isn’t in the Bible.

“The Bible doesn’t say to homeschool.” This is the response of many a parent when the subject of education arises. And it’s true. It’s not there. It’s not even a translation issue; the word homeschool just doesn’t appear anywhere in Scripture.

But hang on…

There are many modern words that we don’t find in Scripture, but that doesn’t make them invalid. We know that abortion is murder, whether that exact term is found in the Bible. We use the internet, despite its absence in Scripture. A Republic is a superior form of government, even though Moses and Jesus didn’t mention it. We also don’t find pants, cars, smartphones, or government schools in the Bible, and yet here we are.

[Head on over to Expository Parenting to read the whole article…]

And parents, I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Expository Parenting. It’s a wonderful encouragement and how-to for parents to get their kids in the Bible.

    Just finding your blog after following in IG. I may be your new best friend! 🙂 You have wonderful articles and helps here. We have been in this homeschooling gig for 13 years and it is such an encouragement to read of other believers doing it too! Thank you!!

The ultimate goal of Christian home education is not to get kids into the best colleges or to get the best careers. It is to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It is discipleship. I first learned that Anyone Can Homeschool from my mom. Oh, I didn’t realize at the time that I was learning that, but as a mom, I see that it was her example that encouraged me. Homeschool 101 I was a homeschool student in Texas in 1985. It wasn’t legal until 1994. Do the math. 😃 https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqHZnKssxcm/ What qualifies someone to teach a child? Good morning to every homeschool parent with a disobedient child! Guess what?! You are not alone! This is a sampling of our homeschool topics this week. This is why we don’t need government intervention. Not one of these resources would be “approved” curriculum. Hot take.
