I. THE CHRISTIAN PARENT IN THE MODERN WORLD:
In Jeremiah 29, God told the Israelites regarding their exile in Babylon, to obey the laws of the land while holding true to their faith. Jesus supported this with two statements found in the Gospels:
1. "Be in the world but not of the world."
2. "Render unto God what is God's, and unto Caesar what is Caesar's."
While researching our materials from OCEANetwork on the homeschooling movement, we recently learned that it originally took root in the United States through Catholic influence that migrated from Quebec, Canada to Oregon, in the late 1800's to early 1900's. It has been documented that a parent teaching a child at home was not an option, even when a child was ill, at which point a tutor was hired. And, according to Bible times, boys were taught the alphabet and numbers by a Rabbi. So, where in the course of events, did God's children come away from Deuteronomy 6:6-9?
