OK, so the title has some reference to money.
This news item doesn’t.
It does have a reference to mad though.
I’m mad that people take God’s word and twist it out of context.
I’m mad that people might say something like, “God’s word says we should home
shool our children.”
To which I would say, “Where?”

I’m reading a book (lent to me) called
Educating the WholeHearted Child.
I’ve only read the first page of the first chapter and I’m already wrestling
with its contents.
The issue is not with the idea of home schooling, I think it can be a great
method of education.
Jessica and I are considering home schooling our children.
However, I am really concerned that they blatantly say that homeschooling is
the Christian thing to do.
There is just no proof-text for that statement.

The book’s first page has one verse out of context (3 John 1:4), a second
verse ‘adapted’ to twist Colossians 1:28-29 to be towards children and a
sentence saying that they’re not trying to tell you what you should do.
The premise of the book is that you should home school and that you should
use their methodologies.
I must confess that I haven’t finished reading the book, but the content will
probably continue on in this pattern.
I’m going to finish the book because I committed to it, but I expect it to be
long and tedious because I’m going to read every word and check every
passage referenced.

Anyway, I hope that I can gain some insite from the book, just because parts
of it are errant doesn’t mean I can’t glean anything of use.

Resting in Him,
