They explain their perspective of that harrowing day, and their renewed appreciation for Christ’s payment for our sins. 1 Peter 3:18 says, “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.” As Steve so eloquently states, “This is the oldest, most important love story ever told.

Too many parents are under the impression that education is simply reading, writing, and arithmetic. On today's edition of Family Talk, Jay and Heidi St. John, who have homeschooled their seven kids, declare that education is never neutral! Dr. James Dobson concludes his discussion with the St. Johns, founders of Firmly Planted Homeschool Resource Center. They insist that there is always a worldview being taught, but is it one with integrity and honor? In Luke 6:40, Jesus said, "Everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher." That is why Heidi wants to equip her kids with a biblical worldview, so they know why they believe what they believe.
