Dear Parents and pastors, for the sake of your children in your home and the congregation in your church, please take a few minutes to listen carefully to these words below. These words regard your children and your church congregation.

The Lord Jesus issued a great mission before ascending to heaven. He told the disciples:

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

In the New Testament, Apostle Paul sent letters to Timothy and Titus, urging them to faithfully teach the word of God and to pass on the responsibility of teaching truth to the next generation.

In the Old Testament, God commanded his people, “These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates and on your gates.”

God’s people need to teach the Word of God with their mouths and model it with their lives. Their families and public places should be filled with the word of God.

In modern days, we see it as a top priority for churches and Christian families to instill Christian education into the next generation. This is God’s command to us. It is also what we urgently need now.

In this post-Christian era, the mainstream education system is flooded with secular ideas hostile to biblical truths. The model of utilitarian education pulls children from their families. It gathers them together to accept ideological indoctrination. This education model is to alienate the family relationship. It is to create a huge generation gap between two generations.

It creates a great barrier to the passing of Christian faith. On one hand, Pragmatism, Psychology and other thoughts dominate today’s culture. The mainstream educational concept in today’s society is the backdrop of postmodernism. The mainstream education has cultivated children’s rebellion against authority, advocating individualism and relativism. Evolution, Utopianism, Humanism, and relativism dominate the teaching in classrooms. The books students read are full of feminism, homosexual culture, multiculturalism and other propagandas . So, in the United States, we lose more and more young Christians generation by generation.

There are many reasons why Christians are failing in passing down our faith. But the fall of Christian values in the education front is a major factor. Within church ministries, Christians try to cultivate a child’s faith by telling them one or two biblical stories or learning a Bible passage in Sunday worship and Sunday school. However, it turns out that even those children who memorize many biblical stories, When they come of age, most of them will leave their church and faith.

Because just knowing a few biblical stories and some random bible verses are not enough to counter this wave of systematic secularism education. This is not because God’s word is powerless but because this spiritual battle permeates the church, families, schools, society and other fields. Merely two hours of teaching on Sundays is not enough to win the battle. Additionally, The bible studies for adult Christians in churches are often out of touch with the issues of our time and do not fully inform the congregation of the crisis of faith in our time. So, Christian parents do not fully comprehend the harm of secular education to children’s minds.

Nor are the Christian parents vigilant. It is high time that we recognize the educational crisis today. Restore Christian education in churches and families. In the church, Christians need to wake up.

Realize that education is essentially a spiritual war. We must learn to discern the strategy and deceptive tricks of the enemy in terms of education for the next generation. We should adopt a family-centered education model to stop the society from breaking down families, and to make the family relationship stronger.

Let the faith pass on in the family in terms of education delivery, whether it’s homeschooling, Christian schools or church Sunday schools.

Let’s get rid of humanism and pragmatism in education.  Restore our respect for the authority of truth in the educational curriculum. Let us not only be satisfied with adding one or two Bible courses to many subjects but to fill all subjects with biblical principles.

This is a spiritual battle with a great mission which calls for a long march. May we start with the renewal of our minds and make Christian education as a primary goal In the church and the family. Seek ways to come back to God.

各位家长，各位牧师，为了您的孩子或者您教会的会众，请花几分钟时间，认真聆听一下这些话。这些话关系到您的孩子或者您教会会众的灵魂。

主耶稣在升天之前，颁布大使命，叫门徒去，使万民作主的门徒，奉父子圣灵的名，给他们施洗，凡主所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守。

“教训” 一词就是教导的意思。在新约圣经的教牧书信中，保罗也叮嘱提摩太和提多，忠心教导上帝的话语，并将教导真理的责任传递给下一代人。

在旧约圣经里，上帝命令他的百姓在进入应许之地以后，要把上帝吩咐的话都要记在心上，也要殷勤教训他们的儿女。无论他们坐在家里，行在路上，躺下，起来，都要谈论，也要系在手上为记号，戴在额上为经文，又要写在他们房屋的门框上，并他们的城门上。（申命记6:6-9）

上帝的百姓需要将律法从口头传讲出来，并在生活中展示出来。他们的家庭和公共领域都要被上帝的道所充满。

当今时代，依据圣经真理对基督徒和基督徒的下一代进行基督化的教育，是教会和基督徒家庭的当务之急。 这是上帝对我们的命令，也是我们在这个时代迫切的需要。

在这个 “后基督教” 时代，主流的教育系统被敌对圣经真理的世俗思潮所充斥。公立教育的模式将同一代的孩子从家庭里抽离出来，集中在一起接受统一的思想灌输。这种做法必然疏离了家庭关系，也势必造成两代人之间巨大的代沟，为基督徒的信仰传承造成巨大障碍。

另一方面，实用主义、心理学等思想支配着当今社会主流的教育理念。在后现代主义的背景下，主流教育培养了孩子们否定权威的反叛意识，崇尚个人主义和相对主义的价值观。进化论、乌托邦主义、人本主义、相对主义支配了教学的内容。学生阅读的书籍充斥着女权主义，同性恋文化，多元文化主义等意识形态的宣传。

所以，美国的基督徒下一代信仰流失率一代比一代严重。基督徒在信仰传承上的节节败退固然有很多原因，但教育这一阵地的失守是不容忽视的因素。

在教会内部，基督徒期待通过主日敬拜和主日学给孩子们讲一两个圣经故事或者学习一段圣经来培养孩子的信仰。然而，事实证明，熟记许多圣经故事的孩子们到了年轻时代离弃信仰是大概率事件。因为几个圣经故事和零星的圣经经节不足以对抗系统性的世俗主义的教育浪潮。这并不是因为上帝的话语没有能力，而是因为这场属灵的争战渗透在教会、家庭、学校和社会等各个领域，仅仅凭借主日两个小时的教导不足以赢得这场争战。

另一方面，成人基督徒在教会中所接受的教育也通常与社会现实脱节。教会的教导通常没有充分让会众认识到当今时代的信仰危机。所以，身为家长的基督徒对世俗化教育对孩子们心灵的危害认识不足，也没有警惕。

我们急需认识当今时代的教育危机。从教会和家庭开始，恢复基督化的教育。在教会里，基督徒需要觉醒，认识到教育本质上是一场属灵征战，并认识仇敌的计谋和欺骗人的招术。在针对下一代的教育方面，我们应该采用以家庭为中心的教育模式，让社会不再肢解家庭，而是让家庭关系变得更加稳固，让信仰在家庭里得以传承。在教育的理念上，无论是家庭教育，基督教学校，还是教会的主日学，让我们摆脱以人为本的实用主义教育模式，恢复我们对真理权威的尊重。在教育的内容上，让我们不满足于在众多学科之外添加一两门圣经课，而是是将圣经原则充满在所有学科之内。

这是一个任重而道远的属灵征战。愿我们从观念的更新开始，以基督化的教育为目标，在教会和家庭寻求回归之道。
