Deconstructing the Coliseum: Teaching the Christian worldview, including how the civil government has no jurisdiction over the heart and the mind.
What I like to do periodically on this show is highlight other organizations that are doing good Christian work. Nehemiah Institute is one such organization. In their own words, “The mission of the Nehemiah Institute is to unleash a massive spiritual awakening within the Christian community, by helping Christian organizations and the individuals and families they serve, establish quantifiable standards for worldview education and a personal plan for each individual to achieve and maintain a Christian worldview.”
They offer worldview training and testing, giving parents the opportunity to test their children’s worldview and whether it comports with Scripture. The program is called PEERS: “The PEERS test consists of a series of statements carefully structured to identify a person’s worldview in five categories: Politics, Economics, Education, Religion, and Social Issues (PEERS). Each statement is framed to either agree or disagree with a biblical principle.”
Of course they exist to help parents educate their children properly, that is, informing them of what truth is – the Christian worldview. But what they have found out in the process is startling. If you go to their home page you will see that 90% of high school youth from “Christian homes” think like secular humanists, not like Christians. This should send a cold chill down your spine if you are a Christian who sends a child to a civil government school. The heavens rejoice when a person is saved, but education is not a system that one steps in and out of. Education is nonstop total religious worldview training. Now, the civil government can provide your child with nonstop total religious worldview training, but it will not be of the Christian worldview, it will be of the humanist worldview.
