INDOCTRINATION
Daniel 1:5
"And the king appointed for them a daily provision of the king's delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and three years of training for them, so that at the end of that time they might serve before the king."
The king wanted three years to indoctrinate these children into the culture and philosophy of Babylon, even to the foods they ate. If the king thought he could accomplish that in three years, just imagine what happens to children in 12 or 16 years of public education, where daily they eat a diet of pagan and ungodly worldviews. Fortunately, there were at least four Hebrew children who had received a solid foundation of godly instruction that allowed them strength to stand against the Babylonian culture. It takes a vigilant and persistent parent to counter the pagan culture with faith. That's why I believe so strongly in home-schooling and Christian education. For our children's sake, it is worth whatever it costs.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Indoctrinating our children in the knowledge of God is vital for their spiritual strength.
Have an "indoctrinated" day. Love you.
