Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see,
and ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk therein, and ye
shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein].
(Jeremiah 6:16 AV)
The goal of the humanistic education agenda is to pervert judgment and
eradicate all reference to the Foundation of True learning, the Christian faith.
If God and His Laws can be removed successfully from the public school
curriculum, then “The state” can replace God and His Laws.
For years, the attack upon the public education system has raged on, with
little or no objection from the Christian Community. It would seem as if they
too have bought into the lie of “separation of Church and state”.
Sadly, this is the principle reason behind the erosion of the American
education system.
SEEK THE OLD PATHS
When we carefully, and honestly research the establishment of this nation,
and its education system, we find that the entire American experience was based
upon God and His Holy Word, the Bible. Thomas Jefferson wrote to Dr. Benjamin
Rush on April 21, 1803,
“My views... Are the result of a life of inquiry and reflection, and very
different from the anti-Christian system imputed to me by those who know nothing
of my opinions. To the corruption of Christianity I am, indeed, opposed;
but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus Himself. I am a Christian in the only
sense in which He wished any one to be; sincerely attached to His doctrines in
preference to all others...”

Consider the impact of this statement. Jefferson declares here, to one of the
most influential men of his time, Benjamin Rush, that he was dedicated to the
precepts of the Holy Scriptures, in all areas of life. Jefferson was dedicated
to the promotion of the Christian faith throughout his life, both publicly and
privately.
In his March 4th, 1805 National prayer address, Jefferson prayed,
“Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly
beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor
and glad to do Thy will...
Endow with Thy Spirit of Wisdom those to whom in Thy Name we entrust the
authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that
through obedience to Thy Law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of
the earth...suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through
Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen”
This astounding public address, admonished the people of America to be both thankful
and obedient to the God of Heaven and Earth. It further establishes the
indisputable fact that Thomas Jefferson never intended the precepts of the Holy
Scriptures to be removed from any area of American life, especially the areas of
government and education.
