CA Homeschool Woes
The ruling in California that virtually renders homeschooling as illegal is just another of the many indicators of the woeful condition of our nation. We can only continue in prayer for the mercy of our God who can and will, if He chooses, spare His judgment for the sake of ten righteous people. We can also do whatever we can to stem the tide of all unrighteousness, such as making it known among our acquaintances, and taking any rightful action we can, such as signing petitions. And please don’t forget to pray for the judges. Pray even for more godly ones and the salvation of the unrighteous.
It’s not that I’m equating homeschooling with righteousness, so please don’t write and say that I am. But I am saying that any country which takes away this God-given right of parents is acting in an ungodly manner, just as it is in many of the other decisions which have been rendered in modern times.
For His Glory,

Maxine, thanks for these thoughtful words. I truly agree that God has given parents the right – and responsibility – to teach their children. A government that believes it can trump parental rights is a government that is acting in an ungodly way. We’re praying. Thanks.

Oh my. I heard about this but didn’t know the ruling had passed. One of my sisters lives in CA. It’s shocking. Parents are responsible for the education and guidance of their children, not the government. We can’t afford to be slack in praying – on any front.
