According
to Abraham Lincoln, the dominating philosophy in education
in one generation will be the dominating philosophy in
the next. This was proven true, with grave consequences,
starting in the 1920's. During this time, secular humanists
began to take control of public education and eventually
trained a generation of leaders. Those students became
the lawyers, politicians and judges who determined public
policies, created legislation and made significant judicial
decisions that favored the philosophy of secular humanism.
Clearly, the battlefield for spiritual and cultural warfare
lies in the hearts and minds of today's young people...
tomorrow's leaders. Because of this, Christians should
recognize the classroom as ground zero in the secular
world's charge to eliminate all references to God from
public policy. Unfortunately, history testifies to the
secular world's success.
Statistically, a high percentage of all children raised
in Christian homes, often educated in Christian schools,
fall away from their faith during their young adult years.
The reason for this is simple... they have been told
what to believe but don't know why they believe that
Christianity is true. Many have not been taught important
critical thinking skills in the context of Christianity.
These skills would allow them to examine their faith,
resolve important questions for themselves, and defend
their beliefs with academic credibility. Because of
this, most Christians are ill-prepared to rally against
the world's assault on important kingdom issues.
How can the tide be changed? As C.S. Lewis said, Christians
must be prepared "to meet the enemy on their own grounds,"
in the classroom. Legacy of Truth Ministries (LTM), using
academically respected First Principles, is already preparing
the next generation of Christians to defend the faith
and uphold godly values.
