Thanks be to God for the uncompromising leadership of the Indiana Association of Home Educators who sponsored a visionary and principled state conference to the glory of God this last weekend. More than 2500 people attended an event which emphasized the biblical basis for home education, the turning of the hearts of fathers to their children, the importance of the culture of the Christian family and home life to the restoration of our nation and the necessity of multi-generational faithfulness.
Chris Klicka of HSLDA and myself were the keynotes for this year’s events. Chris spoke on several subjects including “The Heart of Home Schooling.” I was given the opportunity to bring two keynotes and workshops including: “A Home School Vision of Victory,” and a message on the meaning of Christian culture and dominion. This last important message examines the diverse theological and methodological problems in Christian cultural theory from gnosticism to syncretism, and explains why only a courageous, presuppositionally biblical and holy agenda will win the day.
Most impressive were the many, many testimonies of family renewal for the glory of Jesus Christ which attendees shared with us. It was so encouraging to learn of seeds which were planted years ago being watered today. Our hearts (the whole Vision Forum staff in attendance) rejoiced all weekend and we returned to San Antonio refreshed and encouraged. Thanks to all of our Indiana friends and families who are fighting the good fight for the Lord.
