THE FAMILY UNDER SIEGE?

THE FAMILY UNDER SIEGE?

Emmanuel Evangelical Church Family Conference
20th March 2010

Christian families are under mounting pressure from the secular world. Anti-Christian dogma is promoted in the media under the guise of ‘tolerance’. Education has become a battleground, and increasingly intrusive legislation is being proposed by our government. Recent proposals have included:

  • ‘Parents will lose the right to withdraw their children from sex education classes once they reach 15.’
  • ‘Home-educating parents will be forced to register annually and undergo criminal record checks.
  • ‘Home-educated children will be interviewed privately by government officials; parents who refuse to allow this will find their children sent to a state school.’

Pressure is also mounting elsewhere:

  • The British Humanist Association has declared that ‘there probably is no God,’ and demanded that Christian parents stop raising their children as believers in Christ.
  • A BBC presenter speculated that ‘authoritarian’ evangelical parents could use home education as a cover for child abuse.

Yet there is always hope. Jesus Christ is the risen and ascended King of Kings. He has received from the Father all authority in heaven and on earth, the nations have been made his inheritance, and one day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Until then, the church has been commissioned to maintain the unity of the Spirit, to live as children of light, to speak the truth in love, to nurture our children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, and to disciple the nations.

Are you ready for the challenge?

JOE PAUL, SERVANT OF THE LORD, 1984-2009
It is with very great sadness that we have to announce the death of Joe Paul, faithful friend, supporter and trustee of the Kuyper Foundation. Joe Paul drowned in the Mediterranean sea on Thursday 15th October while on holiday in Turkey. Joe had gone swimming with his wife, Joanna, when the currents took them out to sea and they got separated. Joanna was rescued by a boat but Joe was nowhere to be seen. His body has now been found a few miles from the popular beach from which they had gone swimming.
