Big Ideas to Consider:

1. There are basically two kingdoms: a kingdom of light and a kingdom of darkness. It seems strange to have those who walk in darkness educate children of light. It doesn't fit.

2. If Jesus Christ is Lord, then He is Lord of all. We cannot divide things into secular and sacred.

3. All truth is God's truth, and God's Word sheds light on our path. Only in His light can we see light. Education is not focused on possibilities but on certainties found in God's Word.

4. Deuteronomy 6 tells parents that, in all they do, they should provide a godly education 24/7.

5. Three key institutions that shape a child are the home, the church and the school. Children are served best when all three institutions point them in the same direction.

6. Only an education that has the liberty to address the whole child -- social, intellectual, emotional, physical AND spiritual -- reaches the possibility of excellence.

7. The best preparation for effective service is to be well grounded in one's mind before direct engagement of the culture.

DISCOVERCHRISTIANSCHOOLS.COM SUPPORTS SAYING 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' IN ALL SCHOOLS 

BROOKHAVEN, Penn., Dec. 6, 2006 -- (MNA PRESS) --

DiscoverChristianSchools.com supports students in schools all across the nation, whether private or public, to speak the greeting "Merry Christmas" during the Christmas season.

It is confusing and may be damaging to small children if they are reprimanded for wishing their classmates, teachers and others, 'Merry Christmas'. When children are taught that the meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, then they don't understand what they've done wrong when they simply wish someone to have a nice Christmas. Their excitement for the season is squelched and
they begin to question what they've been taught. It is every person's first amendment right to be able to wish someone 'Merry Christmas' at Christmastime. It's hard to even fathom that we have to make statements like these in this day and age. I think adults should learn from children that if something this simple becomes so complicated, perhaps something has gone awry," stated Harold Naylor, co-founder of DiscoverChristianSchools.com.

DiscoverChristianSchools.com holds these educational worldviews:

* All truth is God's truth, and God's Word sheds light on our path. Only in His light can we see light. Education is not focused on possibilities but on certainties found in God's Word.
