Socialization?!?!?!

In the news today, one of the local school districts is being sued for the *third* time.

“A third lawsuit has been filed against the Anchorage School District, claiming the district was negligent in dealing with a 6-year-old boy’s assaults on a female classmate.”

Why would I want this kind of socialization for my young innocent children? Does the Bible not command me to not only bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, but to protect them as well?

Numbers 32:17 says, “Meanwhile our women and children will live in fortified cities, for protection from the inhabitants of the land.”

They are not strong. They should be protected and they must be trained.

2 Timothy 3:15 states what is required as a parent, “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”

Why?

Acts 2:39 tells us, “For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.”

In Deuteronomy 4:9 God reminds us to only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.

Our job doesn’t stop when *our* children have been trained! We must continue on with our grandchildren.

Deuteronomy 4:10 Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children.

How are we to teach them?

Deuteronomy 11:18-20 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

No, I will not expose my children to this kind of socialization rather I will protect them and guide them until they are strong in the Lord.

Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Joshua 10:25And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

I will not send my children into battle.

1 Chronicles 22:13Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

And God will bless us for it.
