Good seeing it. This time we'll have our announcements. Our verse of the week is 09:40.660 --> 09:45.740 John 3 16, which says, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, 09:45.740 --> 09:52.380 that who so believed in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. That's John 3 16. 09:52.380 --> 09:55.780 We are here at our Sunday evening service tonight. Brother Jason is going to be preaching 09:55.780 --> 09:59.460 to us out of Acts chapter number six. And then on Wednesday, again, like I said, we'll 09:59.460 --> 10:05.300 continue on in 1st Corinthians 15 which will be part four of the 10:05.300 --> 10:11.660 that sermon. As far as soul winning goes, brother Ryan you said that one person got saved out there today so we are at 110 10:11.660 --> 10:17.820 salvations for year today in August so that's that's good praise God for that. 10:17.820 --> 10:21.900 As far as the upcoming events go I pretty much went through all these 10:21.900 --> 10:25.100 things I'm pretty confident everybody here is expecting these events but just 10:25.100 --> 10:31.780 again notice that on the 25th so that's gonna be two days from now we're gonna 10:31.780 --> 10:33.300 have the homeschool day so make sure you let my wife 10:33.300 --> 10:36.660 know if you're going to that and I want to say thank you again to the Gravers 10:36.660 --> 10:40.260 for hosting us. Thank you for the food it was really good and the fellowship was 10:40.260 --> 10:44.780 really fun. It's nice kind of have an event we work a lot on like just going 10:44.780 --> 10:48.180 out and doing so many events so it's nice to have just things like that where 10:48.180 --> 10:51.200 we come together as a church just under the the 10:51.200 --> 10:55.840 what I even say, the purpose of just, you know, staying friends because it's important like 10:55.840 --> 10:59.520 if we're going to be at church with each other for, you know, 30, 40, whatever years, 10:59.520 --> 11:04.720 Lord willing, okay, of course, right? We want to get along with each other the best that we can. 11:05.100 --> 11:12.100 But what else we got here? Oh, the memory challenge as well. August 1st to September 15th. 11:12.100 --> 11:18.100 So you guys still got a lot of time for that. And the kid in the memory verse was Matthew 514, which said, 11:18.100 --> 11:23.100 Ye are the light of the world, a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. 11:23.100 --> 11:27.100 So that's a pretty easy one, a pretty good one as well for you kiddos. 11:27.100 --> 11:30.100 So if you want a piece of candy, make sure you tell that to my wife. 11:30.100 --> 11:33.100 Again, we don't have any birthdays or anniversaries. 11:33.100 --> 11:35.740 that would be relevant for singing this week. 11:35.740 --> 11:37.200 So we'll just go into our prayer request 11:37.200 --> 11:39.360 and then we will have our third song. 11:39.360 --> 11:40.200 Let's pray. 11:40.200 --> 11:41.040 Dear Father God, thank you so much, 11:41.040 --> 11:41.860 what a wonderful day. 11:41.860 --> 11:43.200 Thank you so much for everything you do. 15:41.900 --> 15:44.300 Good seeing at this time. We're going to have our offering 15:45.100 --> 15:46.100 I'd love to pray. 15:46.100 --> 15:49.100 You know, Father God, thank you so much for everything you do for us. 15:49.100 --> 15:52.100 Thank you so much for this church again and for all the things that you bless us with. 15:52.100 --> 15:55.100 God, I just pray that you would again be with Lord Jesus as you preach this sermon. 15:55.100 --> 15:57.100 I just pray that there would be no distractions. 15:57.100 --> 16:00.100 I know we all give heed and respect to the Lord God. 16:00.100 --> 16:05.100 The increase in his praise that you would help us as a church to continue to center our 16:05.100 --> 16:11.100 affections on things above and to not be consumed with the baddies of this world. 16:11.100 --> 16:13.100 We ask all these things, Jesus, we pray. Amen. 16:57.100 --> 16:58.200 Good afternoon everybody. 16:58.200 --> 17:03.160 If you'd go ahead and open your Bibles with me to Acts chapter 6. 17:03.160 --> 17:07.780 Acts chapter 6 is our text this evening. 17:07.780 --> 17:11.600 And as always, here at our church we read the entire chapter before the preaching. 17:13.800 --> 17:19.720 Open with me to Acts chapter 6 beginning in verse number 1 the Bible reads and 17:19.880 --> 17:27.520 In those days when the number of the disciples was multiplied there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews 17:27.880 --> 17:31.000 Because their widows were neglected in the daily 17:31.760 --> 17:36.880 administration then the 12 called the multitude of the disciples unto them and said 17:37.500 --> 17:43.260 It is not reason that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, 17:43.260 --> 17:49.660 look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may 17:49.660 --> 17:55.980 appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry 17:55.980 --> 18:02.780 of the word. And the saying pleased the whole multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of 18:02.780 --> 18:04.780 faith and of the Holy Ghost. 18:05.400 --> 18:14.040 and Philip, and Procureus, and Nicanor, and Tymon, and Parmenes, and Nicholas, and Proselyte 18:14.040 --> 18:19.580 of Antioch, whom they set before the apostles, and when they had prayed, they laid their 18:19.580 --> 18:20.920 hands on them. 18:20.920 --> 18:27.960 And the word of God increased, and numbered of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly, 18:27.960 --> 18:31.320 and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. 18:31.700 --> 18:37.700 and Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. 18:37.700 --> 18:46.700 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the libertines and Syrians and Alexandrians, 18:46.700 --> 18:51.700 and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. 18:51.700 --> 18:56.700 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. 18:57.000 --> 19:04.840 Then they suburned men which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God. 19:04.840 --> 19:13.240 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and came upon him and caught him and brought him to the council, 19:13.240 --> 19:21.880 and set up false witnesses which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law. 19:22.300 --> 19:32.300 For we have heard Him say that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us. 19:32.300 --> 19:41.300 And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on Him, saw His face as it had been the face. 19:41.700 --> 19:47.700 Let's pray. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you God for this church. I pray God that you fill Brother Jason with your Holy Spirit. 19:47.700 --> 19:50.700 Give us ears to hear tonight. In Jesus' name, Amen. 19:54.600 --> 20:00.600 Alright, so we're in Acts chapter number one, and if you want to look down at verse number one where the Bible reads, 20:00.600 --> 20:07.600 and in those days when the number of the disciples was multiplied, the rosary murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews 20:07.600 --> 20:11.600 because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 20:12.400 --> 20:16.400 then the twelve called the multitude of disciples unto them, and said, 20:16.400 --> 20:20.560 Is it not reason that we should leave the word of God and serve tables? 20:20.560 --> 20:26.720 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and 20:26.720 --> 20:33.840 wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business, but we will give ourselves continually to prayer 20:33.840 --> 20:36.320 and to the ministry of the word. 20:36.900 --> 20:44.260 And the title of my sermon this evening is not only public school or not just public school. 20:45.060 --> 20:51.300 And kind of what I wanted to preach about tonight is the reason why I personally and if I believe 20:51.300 --> 20:58.020 if you believe the Bible you as well do not believe in sending your children to either public school 20:58.020 --> 21:03.860 or any kind of a Christian school. And I believe in you know what we would call homeschooling, right? 21:04.700 --> 21:07.660 And the reason why I wanted to preach that is because, you know, it's kind of getting 21:07.660 --> 21:14.100 towards the end of August, and school usually starts right at the end of August and the 21:14.100 --> 21:15.820 beginning of September. 21:15.820 --> 21:19.500 So I think this is kind of a timely... 21:20.200 --> 21:25.000 sermon for this kind of year when school is about to start just to remind ourselves that 21:25.640 --> 21:32.180 You know school and it doesn't really matter which kind of school it is if you're sending your kid off to be educated by somebody else 21:32.180 --> 21:34.440 I believe that that is 100% on 21:35.280 --> 21:40.020 biblical and a lot of people will you know, they'll be against public school 21:40.700 --> 21:42.400 But they'll be totally fine. 21:42.400 --> 21:44.000 And this always kind of shocks me. 21:44.000 --> 21:47.280 It's always really shocking when people are totally fine 21:47.280 --> 21:49.340 with sending their kids off, well, 21:49.340 --> 21:51.600 because it's a Christian school. 21:51.600 --> 21:55.120 And they think for some reason that sending your kid 21:55.120 --> 21:58.520 to a Christian school, it's like somehow better 21:58.520 --> 22:01.200 than sending your children to a public school. 22:01.200 --> 22:03.720 But fundamentally, you're doing the same thing. 22:04.800 --> 22:10.260 But what people will say is like hey, you know, this is this is the curriculum is Christian, you know 22:10.260 --> 22:14.620 They're getting a Christian education. They're not being taught all this weird trans stuff and everything 22:15.100 --> 22:19.560 Which is all well and good, but at the end of the day, you know, we don't find 22:20.300 --> 22:22.940 you know, a Christian school in the Bible, right? 22:22.940 --> 22:24.700 And the last time I preached, you know, I preached about, 22:24.700 --> 22:27.660 hey, you know, don't go to Bible college. 22:27.660 --> 22:31.020 And this is a similar deal where, you know, 22:31.020 --> 22:33.900 sending your kids off to a Christian elementary school 22:33.900 --> 22:35.820 is also unbiblical. 22:35.820 --> 22:38.620 But I wanted to read Acts chapter number six 22:38.620 --> 22:42.540 because what we see here going on is that basically 22:42.540 --> 22:45.420 you have the Grecian widows... 22:46.300 --> 22:48.700 are having an issue with the Hebrews 22:48.700 --> 22:51.900 because the widows are being neglected, right? 22:51.900 --> 22:56.300 And so you have the apostles are like, 22:56.300 --> 22:58.900 hey, this is an issue, and you know... 22:59.600 --> 23:03.040 we need more people to take care of the church 23:03.040 --> 23:06.300 because the apostles shouldn't be 23:06.300 --> 23:09.040 stopping reading the Bible, stopping prayer, 23:09.040 --> 23:13.340 stopping preaching so that they can go take care of the widows. 23:13.340 --> 23:16.000 We need to get other people to join 23:16.000 --> 23:18.100 so that they can take care of the widows 23:18.100 --> 23:21.600 to make it so that the apostles can continue in doing 23:21.600 --> 23:24.540 the work of the Lord, including prayer and 23:24.540 --> 23:26.800 reading the Bible and these different things, right? 23:26.800 --> 23:27.600 So basically... 23:27.600 --> 23:33.280 the apostles, they should be focusing on these spiritual things and so they can have somebody 23:33.280 --> 23:36.080 else take care of more of these carnal things. 23:36.080 --> 23:41.280 But if you notice here in Acts chapter number 6, that one of the things that we didn't see 23:41.280 --> 23:46.520 included in here as part of the daily administration was teaching the children. 23:47.400 --> 23:52.080 Right? Because they didn't necessarily have a school where they were going to, 23:52.080 --> 23:56.200 all right, you know, we just started Christianity. We're gonna, we're gonna, 23:56.200 --> 24:00.880 as a part of the church, we're gonna have a Christian school. And school starts at 24:00.880 --> 24:09.360 8 a.m. Class 1 is Bible 101, right? They didn't have that, right? So, I mean, 24:09.360 --> 24:12.960 we don't see anything going on with the daily ministration of the church. We 24:12.960 --> 24:15.300 don't see anything alluding to school. 24:15.700 --> 24:18.700 Right? Of teaching the other children. 24:18.700 --> 24:21.600 Okay? And, um... 24:22.100 --> 24:25.700 Go ahead and turn to Titus, Titus chapter number two. 24:25.700 --> 24:28.940 And so, and if you just read through the whole Old, 24:28.940 --> 24:32.380 or New Testament, hey, Old Testament too actually. 24:32.380 --> 24:33.740 If you read through the whole Bible, 24:33.740 --> 24:36.220 you're never gonna find anywhere where it's like, 24:36.220 --> 24:39.100 hey, we need to have an elementary school, 24:39.100 --> 24:40.640 we need to have a middle school, 24:40.640 --> 24:42.620 we need to have a high school, you know, 24:42.620 --> 24:44.180 where we need to send the kids off to, 24:44.180 --> 24:48.500 to go to be educated and get some sort of a state education 24:48.500 --> 24:50.100 or get some sort of. 24:50.100 --> 24:53.020 of a religious education or education of any kind. 24:53.020 --> 24:57.420 Now obviously I am for education. 24:57.420 --> 25:01.580 And you know it's funny, me and brother Ryan were talking earlier, 25:01.580 --> 25:05.140 he was telling me about this guy that you know he has like a flash card 25:05.140 --> 25:09.240 that will have you know some, it will have a sentence on it, right? 25:09.240 --> 25:10.620 And he goes up to 25:10.620 --> 25:10.700 you 25:10.900 --> 25:13.340 People I don't know how he picks his victims or whatever 25:13.340 --> 25:18.380 I guess if they're young or something he goes up to these young Gen Z people and hands him the card and says 25:18.660 --> 25:23.460 Read it and then films them, you know, and a bunch of them were just failing, you know 25:23.460 --> 25:28.200 They were stumbling over the words, you know to be fair like they weren't the easiest words in the world to read 25:28.480 --> 25:30.480 But they were like eighth grade 25:30.700 --> 25:34.660 Words, you know, they're like eighth grade sentences where it's like, all right, if you pass eighth grade 25:34.660 --> 25:40.820 You probably should be able to read this sentence, you know, and they were just messing up and fumbling around 25:41.740 --> 25:46.080 And so, you know the quality of education apparently is just going down 25:46.540 --> 25:52.020 Right, and I don't know what the point of what was Ryan. What was my point and bring it all that up? 25:54.900 --> 25:58.500 They're not being educated. Oh yeah, because I was saying I'm for education. 25:58.500 --> 26:03.860 That's, I'm for education because then that will help you remember the points of your sermons. 26:03.860 --> 26:08.820 Because if you're uneducated, you'll just forget and you look like a buffoon and a fool, right? 26:09.940 --> 26:16.820 So I'm for education, right? So here was my point, is you know, they're being sent off to, 26:16.820 --> 26:20.020 you know, and these are presumably public school kids because most... 26:20.700 --> 26:26.780 public school kids or most kids are public school kids right so you know uh but i'm 26:26.780 --> 26:29.260 guessing that this is also happening in the private 26:29.800 --> 26:33.880 sector as well. I don't imagine that, you know, it's just it's only the public school, 26:33.880 --> 26:37.600 but if you just send your kid to private school, they're just gonna get this amazing education there 26:37.600 --> 26:41.600 and they're gonna be geniuses. I don't see, you know, I haven't looked up any statistics on that, 26:41.600 --> 26:43.840 but I just have a gut feeling that that's not true. 26:44.920 --> 26:48.320 But take that with a grain of salt. That's just a gut feeling there. 26:49.960 --> 26:51.000 But 26:51.300 --> 26:55.300 You know, he was also telling me about the fact that a lot of these teachers are like 26:55.300 --> 26:59.140 breaking down crying because their students can't even like write their own name 26:59.140 --> 27:04.420 and spell their own name right. So I was like, huh, I'm pretty sure my son can spell his name right. 27:04.420 --> 27:09.700 So I was like, hey James, write your name down. And he does. And I spell checked it. 27:09.700 --> 27:11.940 And guess what? It was right. 27:12.300 --> 27:20.700 He spelled his name. And guess what? He's five. He's not that old. He's a five-year-old boy and he can spell his own name. 27:20.700 --> 27:30.400 Write it down on paper. So he's already getting a way better education than public school or private school can provide for him. 27:30.400 --> 27:38.400 And so I'm 100% for education. But it's just about the manner of the educating. 27:38.600 --> 27:46.720 It's about who is delivering the education and also what is being educated. 27:46.720 --> 27:49.720 But here in Titus chapter number two, look at verse number three, it says, 27:49.720 --> 27:55.820 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becomeeth holiness, 27:55.820 --> 28:00.820 null false accusers, not given a much wine, teachers of good things. 28:01.400 --> 28:08.400 Now, in these different, in both private school and public school, the vast majority of the teachers, 28:08.400 --> 28:14.400 and anybody that went to any kind of a public or private school can testify that this is true, right? 28:14.400 --> 28:19.400 The vast majority of the teachers that are going to be teaching in school are going to be women. 28:19.400 --> 28:21.300 Is that not true? 28:21.500 --> 28:29.500 I mean anybody that went to any kind of schooling is going to be like, yeah, it was, you know, a lot more than 50% of the teachers were women. 28:29.500 --> 28:34.500 And somebody might be like, well, you know, women should be teaching. And I agree. 28:34.500 --> 28:39.500 The Bible does talk about women teaching things, doesn't it? Didn't we just read here? 28:39.500 --> 28:45.400 Not giving them much wine, teachers of good things. So women should be teachers of good things, right? 28:46.500 --> 28:52.500 Now let's get some context. What are we talking about? That they may teach the younger women. 28:52.500 --> 28:55.500 Now who are we talking about teaching the younger women? 28:55.500 --> 29:04.500 Well, the older women are going to teach the younger women, right, to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children. 29:04.500 --> 29:11.500 Now I want you to notice this. According to this passage, who is teaching who? 29:11.500 --> 29:14.100 The older women are teaching the. 29:14.500 --> 29:16.500 younger women. 29:16.500 --> 29:18.500 Now are the older women, are they teaching 29:18.500 --> 29:20.500 in this passage, 29:20.500 --> 29:22.500 are they teaching children? 29:22.500 --> 29:24.500 Who are they teaching? 29:24.500 --> 29:26.500 They're teaching moms 29:26.500 --> 29:28.500 and wives, right? 29:28.500 --> 29:30.500 So the older women are supposed to be teaching 29:30.500 --> 29:32.500 the younger women who are already 29:32.500 --> 29:33.800 moms and wives. 29:34.800 --> 29:38.720 What are they supposed to be teaching them? To be discreet, chase, keepers at home, good, 29:38.720 --> 29:44.080 obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed, right? And so, is this an 29:44.080 --> 29:52.560 allusion to school teachers teaching children? No. And in fact, you will not find that anywhere in the 29:52.560 --> 29:59.680 entire Bible. You'll never find where there's supposed to be women teaching children in a school setting. 30:00.400 --> 30:04.560 Where, okay, let me put it this way, you'll never find in scripture where a mother is 30:04.560 --> 30:09.200 supposed to be teaching other people's children and giving them an education. 30:09.200 --> 30:12.380 Because mothers are supposed to teach their own children, right? 30:12.380 --> 30:18.080 And that's also implied in this passage where it says, love their husbands and to love their 30:18.080 --> 30:18.760 children. 30:19.300 --> 30:23.900 Does it say teachers are supposed to love other people's children and educate other 30:23.900 --> 30:24.900 people's children? 30:24.900 --> 30:25.900 No, it does not. 30:25.900 --> 30:30.660 It says they're supposed to love their own children, right? 30:30.660 --> 30:36.060 And so, you know, we see in the Bible all over the place that parents are supposed to 30:36.060 --> 30:42.500 be educating and taking care of and raising and teaching their own children, not somebody 30:42.500 --> 30:43.500 else's children. 30:43.500 --> 30:45.500 You know what is kinda nice? When the light... 30:46.100 --> 30:49.220 this front light just kind of breaks. It actually it's easier on the eyes. 30:49.220 --> 30:52.540 It's easier to look out and see, you know, it's just, I don't know. 30:52.540 --> 30:56.860 Maybe we can keep it that way. It's dark up here, that's okay. 30:56.860 --> 31:00.020 But anyways, 31:00.020 --> 31:03.300 so go ahead and turn to Deuteronomy chapter, 31:03.300 --> 31:04.300 Deuteronomy chapter number six. 31:06.000 --> 31:11.900 So we've seen in a couple passages here where we're talking about, you know, what's going on in the church 31:11.900 --> 31:14.400 and, you know, what women are supposed to be doing. 31:14.400 --> 31:18.900 There's no reference to school of any kind, right? 31:18.900 --> 31:22.100 And it's not saying like, hey, it's just the public schools is bad. 31:22.100 --> 31:25.900 No, it's just there's nothing about any type of schooling at all, 31:25.900 --> 31:30.700 about sending your kids off to be educated by somebody else anywhere at all in these passages. 31:32.200 --> 31:35.720 And so the Bible is very clear though. There's all kinds of different places where it says, 31:35.720 --> 31:41.080 hey, it tells us who is supposed to be educating the children. And we're in Deuteronomy chapter 31:41.080 --> 31:46.200 number six, and this is probably the most famous passage for this subject, I would say. 31:46.500 --> 31:48.500 Because it says in verse number 6, it says, 31:48.500 --> 31:52.740 And these words which I commanded thee this day shall be in thine heart, 31:52.740 --> 31:55.900 and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, 31:55.900 --> 31:59.380 and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, 31:59.380 --> 32:03.580 and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up, 32:03.580 --> 32:07.740 and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, 32:07.740 --> 32:11.380 and they shall be as a frontlet between thine eyes, 32:11.380 --> 32:14.500 and thou shalt write them upon the post of thy house. 32:14.500 --> 32:22.380 and on thy gates." So you know in this passage again the Bible is clear that there's a command 32:23.100 --> 32:28.100 that you are supposed to teach your children about the Bible, right? 32:28.100 --> 32:33.100 You know, and it gives all these different descriptions of where and when you're supposed to teach them. 32:33.100 --> 32:40.100 You know, when you're sitting in your house, when you're walking by the way, when you're lying down, when you rise up. 32:40.100 --> 32:45.100 So there's all these different situations in which you're supposed to be teaching your children. 32:45.100 --> 32:49.100 But here's the key in order to teach your children, is you have to be around them. 32:49.400 --> 32:52.160 You have to be around them when they rise up. 32:52.160 --> 32:54.640 And we have to be around them when you're walking by the way. 32:54.640 --> 32:57.880 And you're supposed to be around them when you're sitting in your house. 32:57.880 --> 33:03.800 All these different places, you have to be with them in order to educate and teach them 33:03.800 --> 33:05.920 the Bible. 33:05.920 --> 33:09.240 And so again, the Bible is putting the onus on the parents. 33:09.240 --> 33:12.040 It's their job to teach the children. 33:13.000 --> 33:17.400 And the Bible says in Proverbs 22,6, go ahead and turn to Proverbs 6. 33:17.400 --> 33:18.800 I'll read for you Proverbs 22,6. 33:18.800 --> 33:21.000 It says, train up a child the way he should go. 33:21.000 --> 33:24.600 And when he is old, he will not depart from it. 33:24.600 --> 33:29.800 And, you know, all this training is most important when the children are young. 33:29.800 --> 33:31.300 Okay? 33:31.300 --> 33:36.300 The way a child is raised is extraordinarily important 33:36.300 --> 33:39.800 because that is going to be the number one factor. 33:40.300 --> 33:43.560 that is going to affect them for the rest of their life. 33:43.560 --> 33:47.500 And I will say this, that the person you are 33:47.500 --> 33:52.500 when you're 13, 14, 15, 16 years old 33:53.060 --> 33:55.700 is basically the person you're going to be 33:55.700 --> 33:57.460 for the rest of your life, right? 33:57.460 --> 33:59.400 That's generally true. 33:59.400 --> 34:03.300 You know, there are people out there that they grow up rough. 34:03.500 --> 34:05.460 and they turn it around later in life. 34:05.460 --> 34:07.060 That is something that happens. 34:07.060 --> 34:10.780 But as a general rule, that doesn't happen that often. 34:11.620 --> 34:16.620 And so the person you are when you're 13, 14, 15, 34:16.620 --> 34:19.420 16 years old is gonna be the person you're gonna be 34:19.420 --> 34:20.980 for the rest of your life. 34:20.980 --> 34:24.340 So how important is it for the years 34:24.340 --> 34:25.780 that lead up to that, right? 34:26.300 --> 34:30.140 Those formative years, when you're two years old, 34:30.140 --> 34:32.660 three years old, four years old, five years old, 34:32.660 --> 34:35.660 six years old, those are very important years. 34:35.660 --> 34:38.500 Because those years are going to form the foundation of who 34:38.500 --> 34:41.740 you're going to be when you're 14, when you're 15, 34:41.740 --> 34:43.820 when you're 16 years old. 34:43.820 --> 34:49.540 Because I mean, if you're 14 years old and 15 years old, 34:49.540 --> 34:51.860 and you're just a fool that hates learning, 34:52.300 --> 34:55.500 That's probably not going to change. 34:55.500 --> 34:56.200 Right? 34:56.200 --> 35:00.000 If you're somebody that's really lazy when you're 14 years old, 35:00.000 --> 35:05.300 or somebody that has very little self-control when you're 14 years old, 35:05.300 --> 35:09.500 you know, that's probably not going to change a lot. 35:09.500 --> 35:10.900 Now, here's the thing. 35:10.900 --> 35:13.600 You know, am I the exact same person? 35:13.800 --> 35:16.140 that I was when I was 14 years old? 35:16.140 --> 35:19.140 No, there's definitely a lot of growth there. 35:19.140 --> 35:23.140 But am I just a completely and totally different person? 35:23.140 --> 35:25.800 Just totally changed, radically changed? 35:25.800 --> 35:27.640 No! 35:27.640 --> 35:29.140 I'm not. 35:29.140 --> 35:32.140 And so a lot of the different ways that I am, 35:32.140 --> 35:34.140 a lot of the different mannerisms 35:34.140 --> 35:37.140 that I had when I was 14, I still have today. 35:37.140 --> 35:38.140 Okay. 35:38.140 --> 35:41.140 And the person that I was when I was 14... 35:41.800 --> 35:46.800 You know, basically I'm standing on that guy's shoulders, if you get what I'm saying. 35:46.800 --> 35:52.800 So, you know, I'm not just this completely, totally different person, right? 35:52.800 --> 35:58.800 And for the vast majority of people, again, that's who you are going to remain for the rest of your life. 35:58.800 --> 36:00.800 Now again, there are exceptions. 36:00.800 --> 36:03.800 There's people that, you know, had a really horrible upbringing, 36:03.800 --> 36:08.800 or they were a really terrible person when they were young, and they were able to turn it around. 36:08.900 --> 36:12.700 But for one, I will say that that is very difficult, 36:12.700 --> 36:16.500 which is why it is not the majority of people. 36:16.500 --> 36:19.240 So, you know, and the reason why I'm saying all this 36:19.240 --> 36:22.040 is because, you know, your children, 36:22.040 --> 36:26.440 it's very important that you train them up 36:26.440 --> 36:28.940 in the way that they should go when they're young, 36:28.940 --> 36:31.880 because when they're old, you know, 36:31.880 --> 36:36.560 the older you get, the less likely you are to change. 36:39.000 --> 36:42.680 You as an individual, you're kind of like concrete. 36:42.680 --> 36:47.480 Because the longer concrete sits, the harder it gets. 36:47.480 --> 36:54.200 And so let's say by the time you're 70 years old, 36:54.200 --> 36:56.360 are you really just going to completely change 36:56.360 --> 36:58.760 and become a different person? 36:58.760 --> 37:04.560 I mean, OK, it's a lot more likely that if, from let's say 25, 37:04.560 --> 37:05.800 if you're 25, 37:05.800 --> 37:05.900 you 37:06.100 --> 37:09.300 You know, the likelihood is there, right? 37:09.300 --> 37:13.700 But by the time you get to 70, that likelihood is pretty much gone. 37:13.700 --> 37:19.300 I mean, I'm sure that you could find examples of people that totally changed when they were 70 years old or whatever. 37:19.300 --> 37:21.400 I'm sure that happens, right? 37:21.400 --> 37:25.400 But, you know, when you're 25, it's a lot more likely. 37:25.400 --> 37:30.900 But it's way more likely when you're 10, when you're 9, right? 37:31.300 --> 37:38.300 to go from being maybe a little brat or something like that when you're eight years old, seven years old, you're just a little brat. 37:38.300 --> 37:48.800 And then your parents come in and they like, you know, work their magic on you and just, dah! You know, whip you into shape, right? 37:48.800 --> 37:54.800 And so then by the time you're 13, you're a totally different kid from when you were eight, right? 37:54.800 --> 37:58.200 That's a lot more likely than 25. 37:58.300 --> 38:05.300 And then you're 30 and you're like, wow, the person I was, you know, when I was 25, I'm completely different. 38:05.300 --> 38:08.300 Now, again, I do want to reiterate that this can happen. 38:08.300 --> 38:11.300 You can totally change in five years, right? 38:11.300 --> 38:16.300 But I'm emphasizing the importance of the younger years. 38:16.300 --> 38:20.300 You know, when people are generally sending their kids off to be educated by somebody else, 38:20.300 --> 38:23.300 those are the most important years of anybody's life. 38:24.400 --> 38:26.400 It's very important. 38:26.400 --> 38:29.900 So, Proverbs 6, verse number 20 says, 38:29.900 --> 38:33.900 My son, keep thy father's commandments, 38:33.900 --> 38:39.400 and forsake not the law of thy mother. 38:39.400 --> 38:42.700 And you'll find this, if you read the book of Proverbs, 38:42.700 --> 38:44.300 you'll find this all over the place. 38:44.300 --> 38:49.800 References to the Bible telling kids, or telling parents, 38:50.300 --> 38:53.300 Hey, you need to listen to your parents. 38:53.300 --> 38:55.800 You need to listen to your mom. 38:55.800 --> 38:59.300 Now, here's what you won't find anywhere in the book of Proverbs. 38:59.300 --> 39:03.800 Hey, listen to the teacher. 39:05.600 --> 39:07.100 You're not going to find that in the book of Proverbs. 39:07.100 --> 39:09.200 Hey, you need to listen to the principle. 39:09.200 --> 39:11.500 When the principle comes down on you, 39:11.500 --> 39:14.100 you know, and he gets out that big old slab of wood 39:14.100 --> 39:17.200 that has the holes in it because you live in the 1950s, 39:17.200 --> 39:19.900 you know, you better listen to him, right? 39:19.900 --> 39:22.900 It's not in the book of Proverbs. 39:22.900 --> 39:24.500 It ain't there. 39:24.500 --> 39:26.300 Well, what is in the book of Proverbs? 39:26.300 --> 39:28.600 Well, let's just, let's go to Proverbs chapter number one. 39:29.000 --> 39:34.000 Because, you know, Proverbs chapter number one tells you what the book of Proverbs is all about, right? 39:35.000 --> 39:37.000 Proverbs chapter number one, verse number one, it says, 39:37.000 --> 39:40.000 The Proverb of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, 39:40.000 --> 39:45.000 to know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding, 39:45.000 --> 39:49.000 to receive instruction of wisdom, justice and judgment and equity, 39:49.000 --> 39:53.000 to give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. 39:53.500 --> 39:56.860 A wise man will hear and will increase learning. 39:56.860 --> 40:00.540 A man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsel 40:00.540 --> 40:04.060 to understand a proverb and the interpretation, 40:04.060 --> 40:07.820 the words of the wise and their dark sayings." 40:07.820 --> 40:14.060 Okay, so the first six verses here, they're basically telling you 40:14.060 --> 40:15.900 what is the book of Proverbs about. 40:16.000 --> 40:23.840 What's the point? Well, it's to give instruction, to, you know, justice and judgment, equities, 40:23.840 --> 40:30.000 to give understanding, to give subtlety. It's all these different things, right, that we just read about. 40:30.000 --> 40:34.400 And then we have the first proverb you might say that the Bible's giving, like, 40:34.400 --> 40:36.560 hey, this is what it's all about. 40:36.560 --> 40:38.800 Now, here's the first thing that we're gonna give you. 40:39.000 --> 40:42.440 Here's the first thing the book of the Proverbs is going to give you as a proverb. Okay? 40:43.080 --> 40:47.400 It says fear the Lord or excuse me the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge 40:47.400 --> 40:52.600 but fools despise wisdom and instruction. It's the first one right? Hey fear the Lord. 40:53.240 --> 40:59.080 That's a pretty good proverb. All right what's the next one? What's the I mean after fearing the Lord 40:59.080 --> 41:03.480 that's like the number one the biggest proverb right? What's right after that? 41:04.100 --> 41:09.500 Right after that, as my son, hear the instruction of thy father and forsake not the law of thy mother, 41:09.500 --> 41:15.800 for they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head and chains about thy neck." 41:15.800 --> 41:19.800 So to me, that tells me, hey, God thinks that this is pretty important. 41:20.400 --> 41:25.360 The book of Proverbs starts out like, hey, this is what, this is the purpose of the book of Proverbs. 41:25.360 --> 41:30.160 It's for instruction, to know instruction, to perceive words of understanding, to get wisdom, 41:30.160 --> 41:33.360 to have justice, judgment, and equity, to give subtly to the simple, the young man, 41:33.360 --> 41:36.800 knowledge and discretion. A wise man is going to hear these things, so pay attention, right? 41:37.760 --> 41:40.560 Fear the Lord. Oh, by the way, listen to your parents. 41:41.100 --> 41:45.640 Forsake not the law of thy parents. Now here's the thing. It doesn't say forsake not the law of the principal 41:45.640 --> 41:51.280 It doesn't say forsake not the law of the teacher, right? It doesn't say listen to teacher. It says listen to your 41:51.960 --> 41:54.260 Parents now, how is that going to be possible? 41:55.240 --> 41:57.240 if the kid 41:57.360 --> 41:58.700 Is that 41:59.200 --> 42:05.640 school somewhere off at some either public or private or whatever daycare whatever it is at some school somewhere 42:05.760 --> 42:09.400 How is it gonna listen to the law of his mother? How is she gonna listen to her father? 42:12.400 --> 42:14.000 Can't. 42:14.000 --> 42:18.600 So for eight hours a day, the child is off being educated by somebody else 42:18.600 --> 42:25.000 and is unable to receive wisdom and instruction from their parents. 42:25.000 --> 42:26.000 Right? 42:26.000 --> 42:30.600 And so the book of Proverbs should be throwing up a red flag 42:30.600 --> 42:31.600 when somebody's contemplating, 42:31.600 --> 42:34.200 hey, I think I need to send my kids to public school. 42:34.200 --> 42:36.600 The book of Proverbs should be throwing up red flags, 42:36.600 --> 42:38.400 like, hey, this is not a good idea. 42:38.400 --> 42:39.200 Why? 42:39.400 --> 42:44.740 Well, because you are supposed to be teaching them. 42:44.740 --> 42:47.880 What the parents are teaching them are going to be an ornament of grace under their head 42:47.880 --> 42:52.020 and chains about their neck, not what the teacher, what somebody else is going to teach 42:52.020 --> 42:53.020 them. 42:53.020 --> 42:54.020 Right? 42:54.020 --> 43:00.540 And it's interesting, they're going to be an ornament of grace under their heads and 43:00.540 --> 43:02.080 chains about their neck. 43:02.080 --> 43:06.200 Now when it says chains about their neck, it's not talking about like a prison chain. 43:06.600 --> 43:10.600 It's more talking about like a necklace. 43:10.600 --> 43:16.600 Why? Because women like necklaces, especially if they're made out of gold or something, right? 43:16.600 --> 43:19.600 And so they like those because they're valuable. 43:19.600 --> 43:21.600 Women like jewelry. 43:21.600 --> 43:25.600 Respectable men, I should say, don't really like jewelry. 43:25.600 --> 43:32.600 They like their wife wearing jewelry, but you're not going to see me coming in one day with a big old... 43:32.700 --> 43:35.340 You know, grill with like just diamonds, you know. 43:35.340 --> 43:38.060 I smile, that would be shocking, right? 43:38.060 --> 43:40.460 That'd be like a prank maybe that I would do. 43:40.460 --> 43:44.460 Just come in with like a, what's like a word they'll put on? 43:44.460 --> 43:45.420 Grill. 43:45.420 --> 43:47.100 Well no, well don't they have like, you know, 43:47.100 --> 43:48.860 the diamonds in the shape of words? 43:49.580 --> 43:51.900 The like, like thug life or something? 43:52.540 --> 43:53.500 I don't know, I don't know. 43:53.500 --> 43:56.220 I'm not a gangster, so I don't know. 43:56.780 --> 43:57.900 Well all that stuff, right? 43:58.600 --> 44:00.600 You know, but they're this huge chain. 44:00.600 --> 44:04.600 You know, there's a video of like a guy, he has like a little chain. 44:04.600 --> 44:06.600 And then another guy has like a little bit bigger chain. He's like, oh! 44:06.600 --> 44:10.600 And then another guy has a bigger, and then you know, they just get bigger and bigger. 44:10.600 --> 44:12.600 Like, oh! They're this huge chain, you know. 44:13.600 --> 44:18.600 Not for guys, alright? You know, women, they can have little golden chains or whatever, that's fine. 44:18.600 --> 44:19.600 But... 44:19.700 --> 44:27.380 Anyway, so you know the instruction and wisdom of parents is going to be like a golden necklace about their neck 44:27.780 --> 44:30.380 Right. It's a it's a valuable thing 44:31.140 --> 44:33.140 so 44:33.700 --> 44:40.720 You know again and this is something that the Bible is saying that the parents are supposed to give their children right there's no 44:41.540 --> 44:43.940 There's no room for anything else going on here 44:46.060 --> 44:47.500 Proverbs 44:48.100 --> 44:50.100 Go ahead and turn to Proverbs chapter number 13. 44:50.100 --> 44:52.700 If I could get a cup of water, that would be awesome. 44:55.300 --> 44:59.340 So again, we've covered the fact that parents are supposed 44:59.340 --> 45:02.660 to be teaching their children, not a public school, 45:02.660 --> 45:04.980 not a Christian school, and you don't find school 45:04.980 --> 45:09.680 anywhere in the Bible. 45:09.680 --> 45:12.680 You just see the example of parents teaching their children. 45:13.400 --> 45:22.460 But, and the reason why this is very important, and the reason why a Christian school will 45:22.460 --> 45:23.560 always fail. 45:28.100 --> 45:32.900 is because the way you are as a human being 45:32.900 --> 45:38.500 is largely going to be a product of the environment that you're in. 45:38.500 --> 45:41.220 Okay? 45:41.220 --> 45:44.580 It's going to be a product of the people that you're around. 45:45.100 --> 45:47.500 And the Bible says in Proverbs 13-20, it says, 45:47.500 --> 45:51.500 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise, 45:51.500 --> 45:56.200 but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. 45:56.200 --> 45:57.400 Right? 45:57.400 --> 46:01.000 And so, you know, if there's any catalyst for change 46:01.000 --> 46:02.600 in an individual's life, 46:02.600 --> 46:04.800 it's gonna be who they hang around. 46:04.800 --> 46:05.400 Right? 46:05.400 --> 46:07.600 And again, this tracks with what I was saying earlier, 46:07.600 --> 46:10.500 because the younger you are, 46:10.500 --> 46:12.600 the more impressionable you are. 46:13.200 --> 46:16.080 the more easily changeable you are. 46:16.080 --> 46:21.320 You know, because if you're like 63 years old, right, 46:21.320 --> 46:25.880 and you just start hanging out with a completely new crowd, 46:25.880 --> 46:29.680 you are a lot less likely to change and become like the new crowd 46:29.680 --> 46:33.800 than you are when you're 20 or 10, right? 46:33.800 --> 46:37.840 So again, you know, your changeability is like concrete. 46:38.000 --> 46:46.600 You know, when it's first poured, you know, it's soft and you can move it around, but, you know, over time it hardens. 46:46.600 --> 46:55.140 And so the people that your children hang out with when they're young is very important, okay, 46:55.140 --> 47:02.600 because they're going to take on the traits and characteristics of the people that they're hanging out with the most, right? 47:02.600 --> 47:04.600 And so in a 47:05.000 --> 47:11.960 public or private school setting, you know, they're going to be hanging out with a large variety of 47:12.680 --> 47:18.620 kids and what this becomes it's like a breeding ground for bacteria. Yeah, right because 47:19.440 --> 47:25.460 you know, basically you're interacting and that's actually literally true because where do kids get sick most of the time? 47:25.720 --> 47:31.480 At what time of year do people get sick most of the time? It's during school, right? Right, because it's like a giant 47:32.700 --> 47:38.780 Petri dish, right? That's what school is like. It's like a Petri dish. You know, church can gotta be similar, you know, like we, you know, 47:38.940 --> 47:40.940 you usually get sick after 47:40.980 --> 47:44.420 you go to church sometimes and you know, your kids, I 47:45.180 --> 47:47.180 don't know. Anyway, 47:48.860 --> 47:51.900 but school in general is 47:52.420 --> 47:58.420 largely gonna be, it's like a big old Petri dish, right? Because you're interacting with a whole bunch of different people and a whole bunch of different 47:58.420 --> 47:59.300 things, right? 47:59.600 --> 48:08.100 And so, you know, there's an epidemic of lots of different sins in America and sins that are in our world today. 48:08.100 --> 48:13.600 And where does the vast majority, I would submit to you, where would the vast majority of those sins start? 48:13.600 --> 48:17.100 In public school. Right? 48:17.100 --> 48:25.600 I mean, one big major sin that I think is spread around in school a lot 48:26.300 --> 48:27.740 is the center of pornography. 48:27.740 --> 48:28.740 Right. 48:28.740 --> 48:30.240 Because think about it. 48:30.240 --> 48:35.140 You know, where do people get these pornography addictions? 48:35.140 --> 48:37.540 Do they just all of a sudden get hooked on pornography 48:37.540 --> 48:39.800 when they're 30 years old and they're married 48:39.800 --> 48:42.700 and they have, you know, four children or something like that? 48:42.700 --> 48:43.940 No. 48:43.940 --> 48:45.600 Where does that start? Where does that happen? 48:45.600 --> 48:47.040 Well, I'll tell you where it happens. 48:47.040 --> 48:48.600 It happens in school. 48:50.300 --> 48:54.840 Young these young impressionable kids these young teenagers and younger 48:55.740 --> 49:03.140 Are being shown porn by some other kid and guess what do you think it magically doesn't happen in private school? 49:03.580 --> 49:05.680 They have poor detectors in private school 49:06.500 --> 49:07.760 No 49:07.760 --> 49:08.900 Guess what? 49:09.300 --> 49:11.700 It's there too, right? 49:11.700 --> 49:13.500 And so, you know, and guess what? 49:13.500 --> 49:16.440 You know, that's just one sin, right? 49:16.440 --> 49:17.600 That's just one subject. 49:17.600 --> 49:19.200 That's just one thing that's going wrong. 49:19.200 --> 49:20.840 You know, you could think about like drugs 49:20.840 --> 49:22.140 and other bad things that are going on, 49:22.140 --> 49:24.900 and in general, just bad influence. 49:24.900 --> 49:25.740 But guess what? 49:25.740 --> 49:29.480 Pornography is a big one that afflicts a lot of people. 49:30.600 --> 49:37.100 I didn't look up any statistics, but there's a lot of people that are addicted to pornography today. 49:37.100 --> 49:38.100 There's a lot of them. 49:38.100 --> 49:45.100 And I pretty much guarantee that 99% of it all started in school, whether private or public. 49:45.100 --> 49:47.100 That's where it starts. 49:47.100 --> 49:50.100 Think about smoking. 49:50.100 --> 49:53.100 Where does smoking start? 49:53.800 --> 49:57.560 Well, nowadays it's going to start because your parents smoked, right? 49:57.560 --> 49:58.060 Yeah. 49:58.060 --> 50:04.840 But for a long time, people would probably start smoking because of somebody at school. 50:05.400 --> 50:06.920 Where does weed come from, though? 50:06.920 --> 50:09.400 Like, where do people get addicted to weed, though? 50:10.480 --> 50:11.400 At school. 50:11.880 --> 50:12.440 Right? 50:12.840 --> 50:14.200 I mean, think about it. 50:14.200 --> 50:16.440 Where do people get addicted to alcohol? 50:18.440 --> 50:19.640 At school, right? 50:20.080 --> 50:21.080 I mean, think about it. 50:22.000 --> 50:25.500 If you've ever known somebody that drank heavily, 50:25.500 --> 50:28.140 and you ask them, hey, when was the first time 50:28.140 --> 50:31.000 you had a drink, that you had alcohol? 50:31.000 --> 50:33.820 Do you think it would just always be all 21? 50:33.820 --> 50:37.340 I waited until I was 21 before I started drinking. 50:37.340 --> 50:40.080 Have you ever heard that before? 50:40.080 --> 50:43.020 There's almost nobody that starts drinking when they're 21. 50:43.020 --> 50:45.460 There's almost nobody that starts smoking when they're 21, 50:45.460 --> 50:48.260 whether it be weed, alcohol. 50:49.000 --> 50:56.540 Cigarettes, whatever it is, you know, even with cigarettes, you know, they're not going to start smoking when they're 18 50:56.540 --> 51:00.420 Which is I believe the legal age when you can is it 21? Oh 51:01.180 --> 51:05.980 Wow, what I think it was 18 miles. Yeah when I was 18 51:06.900 --> 51:09.900 So it must have changed at some point. 51:09.900 --> 51:14.580 But again though, somebody that is a smoker, 51:14.580 --> 51:16.260 they probably had their first cigarette 51:16.260 --> 51:19.100 when they were like 14 or 15. 51:20.620 --> 51:22.920 When they probably got from their parents. 51:22.920 --> 51:25.920 But all that to say that those younger years 51:26.920 --> 51:28.120 are really important. 51:29.380 --> 51:32.300 It's important to make sure that... 51:32.400 --> 51:37.200 that your children are going to be wise, and so they walk with wise men. 51:37.200 --> 51:45.800 Now here's the thing, in public school or private school, you as a parent have basically no control at all 51:45.800 --> 51:51.600 of who your children are interacting with and being influenced by, and what they're being shown. 51:51.600 --> 51:52.400 Right? 51:53.000 --> 51:57.460 Because you know one thing that I wouldn't want for my kids and I don't think anybody in here wants for your kids is 51:57.460 --> 52:02.020 You don't want your young children your young you know eight-year-old to be shown pornography 52:02.960 --> 52:04.480 That's not 52:04.480 --> 52:08.840 That is highly damaging. It's not good. It's gonna affect them for the rest of their life 52:09.200 --> 52:13.820 Okay, and you know guess what you can't put the poop back in the goose 52:14.840 --> 52:16.840 You can't unsee 52:17.200 --> 52:19.200 Your child can't unsee the we're not right 52:22.000 --> 52:27.000 It's like, you know, you don't want your children becoming adults when they're eight. 52:27.000 --> 52:28.300 It's not the time for that. 52:28.300 --> 52:33.000 And guess what? There's no time at all for pornography in general, right? 52:33.000 --> 52:38.000 But, I mean, when your kid's eight, not good. 52:38.000 --> 52:45.800 Okay, so you have no control over what your child is seeing for eight hours a day, 52:45.800 --> 52:49.300 seven hours a day when they're eight years old when they're out at 52:49.500 --> 52:56.860 private school or public school, right? You have no control over that. And so, again, it's critical 52:57.820 --> 53:03.100 that you are the one that's in control of what they see. And so when you home school, 53:04.220 --> 53:10.700 guess what? You have total control over what they see. You have total control over what is influencing 53:10.700 --> 53:15.340 them. And then when you come to church, right, you still have a lot of control. 53:15.900 --> 53:20.940 right about who they're interacting with, what they're doing, what they're seeing, right? 53:20.940 --> 53:27.500 Because you know at the end of the day there could be bad eggs at church, it could happen, right? 53:27.500 --> 53:32.140 It's not like we walk into church and it's just everybody's a saint and everybody's just so 53:32.140 --> 53:37.980 wonderful, right? It's not necessarily true. You know we are a smaller church so I think that is 53:37.980 --> 53:43.300 true at the moment, right? But again though, when you're at church... 53:43.500 --> 53:45.500 You're there with them 53:45.660 --> 53:47.660 Right when they're at school 53:48.140 --> 53:52.280 You're not there with them. They're somewhere else, right? 53:52.280 --> 53:56.900 And this is also why we don't have you know, we don't have Sunday school for this 53:57.300 --> 53:59.960 All of this applies to Sunday school, right? So 54:01.900 --> 54:07.060 Anyways, when you're at church you have still have control about over what's going on, right? 54:07.220 --> 54:13.200 You can see what they're what they're doing. You can monitor them. Whereas when they're off at school you cannot. 54:13.200 --> 54:18.980 And so what will happen because again, this is why this is why Christian school fails. 54:19.220 --> 54:23.680 There is there isn't a good way that they're gonna have to filter out 54:24.800 --> 54:29.600 the fools, right? Because why? A companion of fools shall be destroyed. 54:29.600 --> 54:34.400 So there's no way to keep the bad element out. There's no filter that's going to keep them out. 54:34.400 --> 54:40.000 Right? Because when you homeschool your children and you take your children to church, you are the filter. 54:40.000 --> 54:43.200 You're the filter that's going to protect your children from the bad elements. 54:43.200 --> 54:47.600 But when they're at school, there's really no good way to filter them out. 54:48.800 --> 54:51.200 It's just not, it's not really possible. 54:51.400 --> 54:57.480 Okay, and so there there is going to be that bad element that option will be available 54:57.960 --> 55:01.240 for your child to be a companion of fools of school and 55:02.400 --> 55:07.860 Again, like anybody who went to public or private or any kind of school knows that this is true 55:08.240 --> 55:11.320 Isn't there always that option to go with the background? 55:12.480 --> 55:15.200 That school I mean, I don't know it just 55:16.200 --> 55:20.860 The fact that most of us actually probably went to a public or private school of some kind 55:20.860 --> 55:25.660 I think I think most of us actually went to just public school. Has anybody gone to private school in here? 55:26.340 --> 55:28.340 So nobody even knows what it's like 55:32.400 --> 55:38.420 But I'm pretty sure it's it's just as bad it's it's not like you you know, cuz look it's the same thing 55:38.880 --> 55:41.040 You just you just switch out the title 55:41.500 --> 55:49.260 Right? The curriculum will be different, and then you'll have people with better intentions. 55:49.260 --> 55:49.760 Yeah. 55:50.540 --> 55:54.860 Right? And it's not like everybody at public school has just bad intentions. 55:55.420 --> 55:58.140 Although it does seem like there's a lot of that going on lately. 56:00.060 --> 56:04.940 But anyways, let's go ahead and turn to Ecclesiastes chapter. 56:04.940 --> 56:07.600 I will actually go ahead and turn to 1st Corinthians 56:08.600 --> 56:18.640 15. But the Bible talks about this idea a lot of who you're going to be around, right? 56:18.640 --> 56:23.920 And people affecting you. It says in Ecclesiastes 9, 18 it says, wisdom is better than weapons 56:23.920 --> 56:30.400 of war, but one sinner destroyeth much good. And a great example of that is the Bible. 56:30.900 --> 56:37.180 If you send your kids off to a private school and you're like, hey, you know, this is a private school 56:37.180 --> 56:39.080 This is a Baptist private school 56:39.080 --> 56:46.220 This is a fundamental Baptist private school and they're teaching them great doctrine and the teachers have been vetted. It's all good 56:47.060 --> 56:49.780 Well, here's the thing. It just takes one kid 56:50.820 --> 56:56.420 Who decides to show the other kids pornography to destroy much good, right? 56:57.100 --> 57:04.460 I mean how many kids can one kid, how many other kids can he corrupt by showing them pornography? 57:06.300 --> 57:12.860 A lot. You show like 50 other kids, right, and steal their innocence from them. 57:15.500 --> 57:18.500 One sinner destroyeth much good. 57:18.500 --> 57:19.500 I mean, isn't that a lot? 57:19.500 --> 57:24.500 Like, if you have 50 kids that have had their innocence taken away from them by one person, 57:26.500 --> 57:30.500 that's why private school fails. 57:30.500 --> 57:33.500 It's because how are you going to filter that out? 57:33.500 --> 57:35.200 How are you going to prevent that from happening? 57:35.700 --> 57:40.600 Are you gonna have like cameras everywhere? Like flock? Okay, we're gonna have flock cameras all over the school, 57:40.600 --> 57:46.100 monitor every single kid, we're gonna, they're gonna put a, a, a, an ankle bracelet on them, 57:46.100 --> 57:50.340 and, and there's gonna be like microphones on their clothes, they're gonna, you know, 57:50.340 --> 57:56.900 like, it's gonna be like, um, 1984 or something like that in the school to make sure that, you know, 57:56.900 --> 58:00.100 you know, and, and that sounds horrible. 58:01.000 --> 58:05.440 But when you as the parent are monitoring your kids, that's good. 58:05.440 --> 58:08.040 Right? Why? Because you're their parent. 58:08.040 --> 58:12.240 You know, you don't want some other system doing that to them. 58:12.240 --> 58:13.840 You want to do that to them. 58:13.840 --> 58:16.320 You want to be nice to your kids, right? 58:16.320 --> 58:18.040 Monitoring everything they say. 58:18.040 --> 58:21.720 Especially when they're small children, right? When they're little kids. 58:21.720 --> 58:26.480 But anyway, where was it going with that? 58:26.800 --> 58:30.240 I don't know. Let's read 1 Corinthians 15, look at verse number 33, it says, 58:30.240 --> 58:35.760 Be not deceived, evil communication corrupts good manners. 58:35.760 --> 58:40.000 So the Bible says here evil communications and good manners. 58:40.000 --> 58:43.760 Communications there basically means lifestyles, right? 58:43.760 --> 58:49.920 And so an evil lifestyle is going to corrupt good manners. 58:49.920 --> 58:53.200 Now when the Bible's saying good manners here, I don't think it's just talking about like, 58:53.200 --> 58:54.200 Please and thank you. 58:54.700 --> 58:57.200 It's not necessarily just talking about that. 58:57.200 --> 58:59.780 It's talking about more like mannerisms, 58:59.780 --> 59:02.260 like the way you act, the way you are. 59:03.520 --> 59:07.320 And again, you are gonna be the product 59:07.320 --> 59:10.160 of the people that you hang out around. 59:11.220 --> 59:14.500 And so evil communication is corrupt goods manners. 59:14.500 --> 59:18.760 When you're hanging out with people that are evil, 59:18.760 --> 59:20.560 that have an evil lifestyle, 59:21.000 --> 59:25.160 you're going to absorb and take on different aspects of their evil lifestyle 59:25.160 --> 59:28.840 and so much more when you're a small child, right? 59:28.840 --> 59:35.560 And so, again, who your children are hanging out with is very important. 59:35.560 --> 59:40.520 You know, I believe personally who I hang out with is important for me 59:40.520 --> 59:47.000 to monitor and make sure that I am not having corrupt manners, right? 59:47.400 --> 59:50.400 So how much more important is it for your children? 59:50.400 --> 59:53.700 If you think that who you hang out with is important, 59:53.700 --> 59:56.200 how much more important is it for you to make sure 59:56.200 --> 01:00:00.500 that you're keeping your kids hanging out with right people? 01:00:00.500 --> 01:00:04.700 And again, you lose all control when you send them off to school. 01:00:04.700 --> 01:00:07.200 All control. 01:00:07.200 --> 01:00:11.400 And let's see here. 01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:13.300 Go ahead and turn... 01:00:13.900 --> 01:00:16.240 to Psalm chapter number one. 01:00:16.240 --> 01:00:17.040 Psalm chapter number one. 01:00:17.040 --> 01:00:20.040 I'm gonna read for you John 17 verse number 14. 01:00:20.040 --> 01:00:21.080 It says, 01:00:21.080 --> 01:00:23.620 I have given them thy word, 01:00:23.620 --> 01:00:25.620 and the world hated them, 01:00:25.620 --> 01:00:27.360 because they are not of the world, 01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:29.780 even as I am not of the world. 01:00:29.780 --> 01:00:33.820 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, 01:00:33.820 --> 01:00:34.960 but that the world, 01:00:34.960 --> 01:00:36.400 but that thou should keep, 01:00:36.400 --> 01:00:37.100 ah! 01:00:37.600 --> 01:00:42.320 I'm like the kids in that in the clip that Ryan was showing me. They can't read. Man, great 01:00:42.680 --> 01:00:49.280 That says but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil, right? So what's the concept here? 01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:51.600 Is that you know? 01:00:51.600 --> 01:00:54.240 We're not we're not being trying to be taken out of the world 01:00:54.240 --> 01:01:00.040 We're supposed to be in the world, but we're supposed to be kept from the evil, right? 01:01:00.560 --> 01:01:02.000 and 01:01:02.500 --> 01:01:07.500 You know, when you send your children off to any kind of school, public or private, 01:01:07.500 --> 01:01:10.340 you basically take that ability away. 01:01:10.340 --> 01:01:14.740 They're not able to be kept from the evil because it's like they're being dunked in it. 01:01:14.740 --> 01:01:15.240 Right. 01:01:15.240 --> 01:01:16.580 Right? 01:01:16.580 --> 01:01:22.980 And so, again, we're supposed to follow the biblical guidelines for education of children, 01:01:22.980 --> 01:01:26.860 which is not prescribing any kind of public or private school. 01:01:27.300 --> 01:01:32.300 not being sent off to be educated by somebody else, 01:01:32.300 --> 01:01:38.300 because you're basically just sending off to be educated by the evil. 01:01:38.300 --> 01:01:42.100 In Psalm chapter number one, 01:01:43.100 --> 01:01:46.940 You know, a lot of these verses have to do with who is influencing you 01:01:46.940 --> 01:01:49.100 and who is influencing your children. It says, 01:01:49.100 --> 01:01:51.980 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, 01:01:51.980 --> 01:01:55.740 nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, 01:01:55.740 --> 01:02:01.400 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:07.240 And he should be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in a season. 01:02:07.240 --> 01:02:12.840 His leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, 01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:19.560 but are like the chaff, which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in 01:02:19.560 --> 01:02:24.760 the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way 01:02:24.760 --> 01:02:27.480 of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall. 01:02:28.500 --> 01:02:39.500 So again, you know, who you're hanging out with is very important and who your children are hanging out with is doubtless even more important. 01:02:39.500 --> 01:02:41.500 Because guess what? 01:02:41.800 --> 01:02:46.000 At school, when you get enough kids gathered together, 01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:49.500 and a lot of times they're going to be completely unsupervised, 01:02:49.500 --> 01:02:52.100 a large percentage of the time, 01:02:52.100 --> 01:02:55.800 they're just going to be with other kids, unsupervised, 01:02:55.800 --> 01:02:59.100 there's going to be the Council of the Ungodly there. 01:02:59.100 --> 01:03:02.400 It doesn't matter that it's a fundamental Baptist school, 01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:05.500 the Council of the Ungodly will be there. 01:03:07.100 --> 01:03:13.100 And your kids are going to end up standing in the way of sinners and sitting in the seat of the scornful. 01:03:13.100 --> 01:03:16.100 Right? And so we want to avoid that. 01:03:18.300 --> 01:03:25.800 Let's see here. Go ahead and turn to 2 Corinthians 6. 01:03:31.000 --> 01:03:44.000 And by the way, and a lot of you probably know this already, but the idea of sending children off to be educated by somebody else is actually a relatively new idea. 01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:53.000 And the modern school system was actually invented in Prussia, I believe in the late 1700s. 01:03:53.300 --> 01:03:57.460 I could be getting that wrong, but I do know that it was in Prussia where it was invented, 01:03:57.460 --> 01:04:00.660 and that's where you get the word kindergarten from. That's like a German word. 01:04:02.660 --> 01:04:06.260 I think I think Brother Sean Harrington knows how to pronounce it or something. It's like kinder. 01:04:07.620 --> 01:04:14.900 I don't know. I can't pronounce it. Kindergarten, right? But that comes from... 01:04:15.900 --> 01:04:17.900 this German idea of 01:04:18.120 --> 01:04:23.360 You know having all of all of your society having the same education 01:04:24.420 --> 01:04:27.560 This is where the the public school system and private school system 01:04:27.560 --> 01:04:34.920 This is where that whole all that concept came together and the whole purpose of it was is that the Prussians wanted a 01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:41.000 well-regulated military. What does that mean? That means they want to have a good military. 01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:46.000 So they wanted all the young men to be good soldiers. 01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:52.000 And basically, they're like, hey, in order for all of our men to be good soldiers that are just going to follow orders 01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:57.000 and do what we want them to do to go out and defeat their enemies on the battlefield, we need to educate them. 01:04:57.300 --> 01:05:08.300 We need to give them their education so that they will be willing and able to follow all of our orders and do what we tell them to do and not fight back against us and not create a problem for us and just do what we say so we can win our wars. 01:05:08.300 --> 01:05:16.300 Right? So that's kind of where the education, our modern education system came from is from the Prussians in the 1700s. 01:05:16.300 --> 01:05:21.300 And then that spread, right? Because guess what? They were effective. 01:05:21.300 --> 01:05:25.100 You know, the Prussians were, they won a bunch of wars. 01:05:25.400 --> 01:05:28.640 using that system of having this public education 01:05:28.640 --> 01:05:31.520 and having these soldiers basically all being pumped out 01:05:31.520 --> 01:05:32.960 of the public education system. 01:05:32.960 --> 01:05:35.900 And so it spread like wildfire. 01:05:35.900 --> 01:05:38.080 And then here we are today in the 21st century 01:05:38.080 --> 01:05:40.440 still educating children the same way. 01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:43.840 But before that it was not so. 01:05:44.680 --> 01:05:47.200 Right, you didn't have this public education 01:05:47.200 --> 01:05:49.520 or what I would call. 01:05:50.600 --> 01:05:54.040 I don't have a word for it. I have to come up with a word on the spot because I didn't think of this. 01:05:54.040 --> 01:05:59.880 No, not indoctrination, but the idea of where you send your kids off to be educated by somebody else. 01:06:00.700 --> 01:06:02.900 I don't want to call it public education, 01:06:02.900 --> 01:06:05.220 because then that just denotes the government school system. 01:06:05.220 --> 01:06:07.940 But we're also including the private school system, right? 01:06:07.940 --> 01:06:09.180 I don't know what you call it. 01:06:09.180 --> 01:06:12.860 But collective education, maybe that's what you'd call it. 01:06:12.860 --> 01:06:14.780 A collective education. 01:06:14.780 --> 01:06:16.820 This idea of a collective education 01:06:16.820 --> 01:06:19.740 has not been the way that it's been done for thousands 01:06:19.740 --> 01:06:21.180 and thousands of years. 01:06:21.180 --> 01:06:22.980 All throughout history, the predominant way 01:06:22.980 --> 01:06:26.500 that children were educated was by their parents. 01:06:26.500 --> 01:06:27.340 And so. 01:06:28.600 --> 01:06:33.000 It's the way that they were educated for thousands and thousands of years, 01:06:33.000 --> 01:06:37.700 and there's nothing that's fundamentally different about today that would prevent that from happening. 01:06:37.700 --> 01:06:41.600 Because a lot of people would be like, yeah, well, but back then they didn't really know much. 01:06:41.600 --> 01:06:46.500 There's a bunch of uneducated people running around, and most people couldn't read or whatever. 01:06:46.500 --> 01:06:50.200 And that may be true, but guess what? 01:06:50.200 --> 01:06:55.600 Is there something preventing a mother from teaching her children how to read? 01:06:55.800 --> 01:06:59.080 Is that like just not, is it not possible or something? 01:06:59.080 --> 01:06:59.920 No. 01:06:59.920 --> 01:07:04.920 You know, if there was lack of education 01:07:05.320 --> 01:07:06.560 thousands of years ago, 01:07:06.560 --> 01:07:09.920 it's not because there were homeschooling, 01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:12.800 it's just because there's a general lack of education. 01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:13.640 Right? 01:07:13.640 --> 01:07:15.440 You know, the parent couldn't teach their children 01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:18.400 how to read because the parent couldn't read. 01:07:18.400 --> 01:07:19.240 Right? 01:07:19.240 --> 01:07:20.520 But here's the thing. 01:07:20.520 --> 01:07:23.480 Can anybody in here, can any parent in here not read? 01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:27.340 No, everybody here can read, right? 01:07:27.340 --> 01:07:31.100 And so you can teach your children how to read, right? 01:07:31.100 --> 01:07:36.400 And here's the thing, teaching children how to read is hard. 01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:37.680 It's difficult. 01:07:37.680 --> 01:07:39.240 It's not easy. 01:07:39.240 --> 01:07:41.140 It's frustrating. 01:07:41.140 --> 01:07:42.940 You're like, ah! 01:07:42.940 --> 01:07:45.080 You know, you kind of do the white-knuckle thing 01:07:45.080 --> 01:07:46.240 every once in a while. 01:07:46.240 --> 01:07:49.880 And you know, I haven't even spent like that much time 01:07:49.880 --> 01:07:51.680 teaching children how to read, but I've spent a little bit 01:07:51.680 --> 01:07:52.680 of time. 01:07:52.900 --> 01:07:56.900 And that's how you feel. You're like, why don't you get it? 01:07:56.900 --> 01:08:00.900 It is very simple. Just pronounce the letters. 01:08:00.900 --> 01:08:04.900 Two, T, O. 01:08:04.900 --> 01:08:08.900 Right? It's so, it's, it's, I'm not saying it's easy. 01:08:08.900 --> 01:08:12.000 And look, you know, husbands... 01:08:12.200 --> 01:08:18.200 Your wife is deserving of praise because if she's taught your children, like look, 01:08:18.200 --> 01:08:25.200 I asked James to write his name earlier, you know, just on the spot, write your name down, and he did it. 01:08:25.200 --> 01:08:29.200 And so my wife has spent many, many, many hours 01:08:29.800 --> 01:08:32.300 teaching James how to do that. 01:08:32.300 --> 01:08:35.140 That's no little feat. 01:08:35.140 --> 01:08:36.140 Right? 01:08:36.140 --> 01:08:37.640 So, you know, husbands, 01:08:37.640 --> 01:08:40.440 if your children are being educated, 01:08:40.440 --> 01:08:42.040 you should thank your wives. 01:08:42.040 --> 01:08:43.340 Because that was hard. 01:08:43.340 --> 01:08:45.240 That was not easy. 01:08:45.240 --> 01:08:49.020 And so, anyways. 01:08:49.020 --> 01:08:50.020 Let's see here. 01:08:50.020 --> 01:08:55.220 So, 2 Corinthians chapter number 6. 01:08:55.400 --> 01:08:59.880 You know, the world came up with this way of education, right? 01:08:59.880 --> 01:09:05.480 They came up with this idea of corporate education, where, you know, everybody sends their children off to be educated. 01:09:05.480 --> 01:09:14.280 The Prussians came up with this, and, you know, it wasn't something that they're trying to do to glorify the Kingdom of God or something, right? 01:09:14.280 --> 01:09:17.720 It was to make a better military, right? 01:09:17.720 --> 01:09:20.280 And so this is something that the world came up with. 01:09:21.100 --> 01:09:25.480 So, you know, again, kind of like what I was saying a couple of weeks ago, 01:09:25.480 --> 01:09:28.900 is that we're not supposed to be just emulating the world. 01:09:28.900 --> 01:09:31.900 We're supposed to go by what the Bible says. 01:09:33.400 --> 01:09:35.220 In 1 Corinthians 6, 17 it says, 01:09:35.220 --> 01:09:37.180 wherefore come out from among them, 01:09:37.180 --> 01:09:38.640 and be separate saith the Lord, 01:09:38.640 --> 01:09:40.020 and touch not the unclean thing, 01:09:40.020 --> 01:09:41.140 and I will receive you. 01:09:41.140 --> 01:09:43.640 Right, so we're supposed to be separate from the world. 01:09:43.640 --> 01:09:45.100 And so just because the world came up 01:09:45.100 --> 01:09:47.100 with this newfangled way of educating children 01:09:47.100 --> 01:09:50.780 does not mean that we're supposed to follow that direction. 01:09:50.780 --> 01:09:54.380 We're supposed to just stick with what the Bible says, right? 01:09:54.380 --> 01:09:59.380 And so, you know, it's the end of August. 01:10:00.300 --> 01:10:08.180 Public schools about to start private schools about to start but hopefully you haven't stopped educating your children all summer long, right? So 01:10:08.980 --> 01:10:12.320 Let's go ahead and bow our heads and have a word of prayer. All right, dear heavenly father 01:10:12.320 --> 01:10:14.700 I thank you for this day Lord.
