Many parents sacrifice to send their children to Christian schools from kindergarten through high school. However, they often stop there. Christian education is more crucial at the college level than at any other. Most young people are away from home and family for the first time when they go to college. They are probably more vulnerable to false philosophies at this time than at any other.
More young people lose their faith in a secular college than in a public high school.
Similar stories can be told of many other Christian young people whose parents did not consider the potential impact of a secular college. It would be far preferable for a Christian young person not to go to college than to have him lose his faith in a secular college or a modernistic Christian college. Even if a Christian young person were to live at home under the continued influence of Godly parents and a good fundamental church while he attends a local secular college, there is still too much risk that the humanistic, atheistic professors will be successful in breaking down his Christian faith. Children are an heritage of the Lord. Where your young people attend college will make all the difference in the world in their spiritual effectiveness the rest of their lives.
