It is a complex world that we live in
today, and making wise choices seems to be more difficult
than ever. Your choice for your child’s education is
one the most critical and difficult decisions that you may
encounter. Let us share with you why we believe Christian
education is vital to your child’s earthly success and
eternal destiny:
Christian
schools acknowledge that there is a spiritual battle being
fought for your child.
We know that Satan desires each person live a life that leads
to self-destruction and the destruction of others. We know
that God is love, that His desire for His children is to live
with power over Satan, to enjoy His blessings on earth, and
ultimately to spend eternity in His presence. “The thief
comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that
they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John
10:10, NIV)
Christian schools impart the truths
of the Bible daily to their students.
In order to achieve God’s plan, a child must understand
and accept His plan, and be able to fend off Satan’s
snares. Without diligent training, children have no way of
detecting Satan’s subtle schemes. Parents must carefully
and diligently teach them the truth about God’s ways
and Satan’s ways, and train them to make wise choices.
The Bible contains the truth and is the one book that shows
us how to apply God’s wisdom to everyday choices. The
book of Proverbs clearly states that wisdom comes from God,
and that wisdom “is more profitable than silver…more
precious than rubies…Long life is in her right hand…Her
ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace."
(Proverbs 2:14-17, NIV)
The Christian school works in harmony
with the Christian home and the church, so that a consistent
Christian worldview is presented to children. Those
institutions that disregard the truth -God, the Bible, and
our special purpose on this earth - leave children leaderless,
confused, and vulnerable if they are permitted to influence
a child. Children are left searching for a path to follow,
searching for the truth. Satan will note their vulnerability
and lead them down a path that will lead to their own destruction.
As
the Christian school teaches children that God loves them,
that He desires the best for them, and that He has a special
plan for them, children are able to confidently set goals
and develop their talents and interests. Christ is
their inspiration and their leader. They will believe that
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens
me” (Philippians 4:13, NIV). Christian teachers
and staff model God’s love and encourage children to
live a Christ-like life as they work toward their full potential
to God’s glory.
Christian schools offer excellent academic
learning environments that prepare children to be leaders
in their communities and servants to their fellow man. Check
out the “Learning Environment” button here on
the Lebanon Christian School web site. You will see that at
every level of the organization, our desire is to love your
child and assist you in the daunting task of developing a
child that desires to live an abundant life for Christ, and
claim eternal life through Him.
