Invest in Adventist Education
.

God's word says: These words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up, (Deut. 6:6-7).

God wants us to fill the hearts and minds of our children with His word. Why? Because He knows that as we do, we are providing a safeguard to protect our children from the evils that surround us in this world. That's why I'm so passionate about matriculating our children in Seventh-day Adventist Schools. As long as our children are under our care, we can continually remind them of God's plan for their lives,...when we're eating lunch, when we're shopping at the mall, when we're playing together in the yard, we can keep His commands before them.

But when they reach six and seven years of age and we send them off to school, they are no longer under our watchful care. Then we must depend upon their teachers to diligently teach God's commands to our children and talk of them in the clasroom and on the playground.

Obviously, thi is an impossibility in the public school system. So, instead of diligent Godly instruction, our children will be exposed to the popular philosophy of the world when they are at their most impressionable age. Adventist education pays long-term dividends. It's a wise choice!
