Home School Heartbeat Radio Program

Mike Smith:
Take a look at the world around you. You don't have to look far to see that our culture does not reflect Christian values as it once did. Are Christians doing anything about this problem? Is there anything they can do?

As Christians we're called to make a difference in the world around us. As homeschoolers, we are in a unique position to teach our children to impact the culture they are inheriting for Christ.

But are homeschoolers up to the challenge? They need to be. Ignoring the potential homeschooled graduates have to impact our culture for good would be tragic.

Homeschooled students tend to be protected from the negative aspects of our culture. This is not a bad thing. Children do not need to be bombarded with sin before they are ready to handle it from a biblical perspective.

Yet at the same time our children will someday be adults, and their careers and callings will likely require them to interact with a large portion of the world. They must use the tools developed during their homeschool years to shine the light of Christ into a culture that has turned its back on truth. Homeschool parents must make sure that when the time comes, their children are ready.

And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
