(This is not a personal letter.)
A child should not be taught by mere adults, but only by "born-again's," by a certain type of born-again's: God loving, God fearing, God honoring, Bible believing, and Bible following born-again's.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 3:16-17)
There should be singing, and praising God throughout the day when children are being taught. A child needs soul food as well as he does food for the stomach. Christian discipline, training and love is required from a babe up. Parents need not expect to let their children be taught by mere adults, men and women, teachers of a worldly sort, and think that their children may be able to endure for God.
Once a child is brought up and trained by God's men and women, his life has spiritual nutrition: training and experience in the "way" become intimate and beloved unto him. He will choose to look unto God for direction in all things and his life will be happy and healthy, but a child taught by the worldly sort may be deterred before spiritual, emotional or physical maturity is ever reached. It would be gullible to think otherwise.
After a child has been trained according to righteous standards--that is, whatever is done in word or deed in the name of Jesus, giving thanks to God and Father by Him, until the child has reached spiritual maturity, which is, believing in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the Messiah of Israel, the prophet who came to fulfill all the law and the prophets, the word in the flesh, the beginning and the end, the true and living God, and these things being recognized in his heart according to revelation, and that the Scriptures are God's word and our source of light, then the student may be used of God, having the protection he needs in the battle of spiritual warfare. Parents should not set their children into the battle without protection and without spiritual armor and an offense against anything that exalts itself against God.
May the Lord bless His people that they willingly give and help little children,
Br. Ken
