What’s the biggest threat to the home school community in America? A failing economy? Falling test scores? Wrongly-decided court cases? In this message, Doug Phillips argues “None of the above.” Rather, Doug outlines seven poisons that threaten to undermine the health of the home education movement: 1) a loss of vision; 2) the fear of man; 3) a love of security more than freedom; 4) a hatred of accountability; 5) the replacement of a biblical community with a virtual community; 6) incivility and gossip; and 7) the loss of our first love—the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet rather than view the current crises as a reasons to fear, wise Christians should find hope. They should view these challenges as an unprecedented opportunity to return to the Lord and remove the “poisons”—to stand with their families as bright lights in the evil day.
