Laying Waste Our Heritage

[From the soon-to-be-released book by RJ Rushdoony, In His Service: The Christian Calling to Charity (Vallecito, CA: Ross House Books, 2010)]

Children are a God-given inheritance for our conquest of the world for Christ. They are a means of subduing the earth and exercising dominion under the Lord. If we give our children to state or private schools which are not systematically Christian in all their curriculum, we are then giving the future to God’s enemies, and He will hold us accountable for laying waste our heritage. We thus must have Christian schools and Christian homeschools for the Lord’s children. We are commanded to “bring them up in the nurture and the admonition of the LORD” (Eph. 6:4). This is a necessary step for that great consummation of God’s will, announced beforehand for us in Revelation 11:15:
The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our LORD, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
