Our government claims ownership of children through the public school system and state preschools. Remember, those who govern the minds of the young are governing the course of the nation. (Think of the Hitler Youth in the 1930s.)
However, we & our children belong to the King of kings, the Lord Jesus! His Great Commission extends to ALL the earth, and therefore Canada belongs to Christ and is under HIS rule.
What is the goal of our homeschooling? It should not be to insulate our kids from this humanistic society, but rather to equip them to do battle, to defend their faith & bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to be a salt & light in the universities & workplaces of our country.
We must capture the minds & hearts of our young, renewing them with the Word of God, teaching them to love the Lord their God with all their heart, soul, mind, & strength, doing all for the glory of God!
As we go about this great task, our confidence is that
"...the weapons of our warfare are not but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ..." 2 Cor. 10:4-5
