What is truth?

Symbolism over substance

Matt 7:5; 15:9

START WITH SCRIPTURE!

Compromise is a dirty word.

There is no compromise between a lie and the truth.

What is compromise? Concession. Things like "tolerance"" and "freedom of choice."

How do you know it to be true?

Start with scripture, not science. Ex 31:13, Gen 1:14

How do I know? The Bible tells me so.

Assumptions determine conclusions.

Don't take offense rather than taking the offensive. Matt 15:12

Why do we have to defend our choice to homeschool? Why not ask others why they are not homeschooling? Why not ask them how they, as a Christian, can send their kids to be indoctrinated by secular humanism?

Desire for signs vs Desire for significance

Confusion over certainty. John 9:33-34

DO...

Be confident .... not confused.

Take offensive .... not offense.

Seek to be creative ... not merely credible.

Proclaim truth ... not tradition.
