"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding." Proverbs 3:13

Below is a short post from a man who experienced homseschooling. I thought he had some interesting comments. But be wary, the author is rather blunt, which some may find offensive. Read at your own risk.

Thoughts from a Homeschooled Man

First off, hello. I'm Ryan. I was homeschooled from birth - high school. Neither of my parents were college graduates, and I had no tutors other than them. ...

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. (Psalm 1:5)

But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. (Psalm 9:7)

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. (Psalm 9:8)

The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. (Psalm 9:16) ...

In Jesus, God's salvation, the elect, redeemed, and regenerate one appears

"Clean every whit." (John 13:10)

"Perfect in Christ Jesus." (Col. 1:28)

"Complete in Him." (Col. 2:10)

"Holy and without blame." (Eph. 1:4)

"Accepted in the Beloved." (Eph. 1:6)

"Without blemish, wrinkle, or any such thing." (Eph. 5:27)

"As He is." (1 John 4:17)

A GLORIOUS FACT -- "SAVE."

Mark you! "He shall SAVE." What is salvation? It is complete deliverance from the curse and condemnation of God's righteous law, from the guilt and power of sin, from the pride and folly of self, and from all evil in the world. "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, That Christ Jesus came into the world TO SAVE SINNERS." (1 Tim. 1:15) The Father sent Him into the world for this very purpose, ...

A GLORIOUS CERTAINTY -- "SHALL"

Blessed be God, our Jesus knows nothing of chance, contingency, or accident. He was appointed to the glorious work of saving His people in an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure. (2 Sam. 23:5) All the covenant promises of God in Him are Yea and Amen, (2 Cor. 1:20) and sure to all the seed-royal of heaven. (Rom. 4:16) Look at the terms of the covenant in which poor and needy sinners find sweet acceptance with the Father! ...

It seems that so few people today believe they are justified by Christ and what He did APART from any of their contributions. Man is always trying to add something of himself to the salvation equation in order to exalt himself over God.

Many will make the accusation that such a position of Christ apart from our works "trivializes faith". God-ward faith has its place, as God has sovereignly ordained the elects' belief and therefore it is not pointless...but rather, serves ...

God has always determined that a man's salvation will never be by a man's own supposed "goodness". It is "not of works, lest any should boast". (Ephesians 2:9) A man is only given to be justified by God alone, by His mercy and grace.

(Rom 3:24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

It is a demonstration of God's love toward His people (Romans 5:8 / 1 John 4:10), that He has provided and secured everything ...
