If education is the acquisition of knowledge, then where we begin with our understanding of knowledge is vital to how we will pursue education.
So what is knowledge?
More specifically, what is true knowledge?
Is the fear of the Lord really “the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7), as Scripture informs us again and again? Or can we rightly begin our understanding somewhere else en route to true, enduring, life- and culture-inspiring knowledge?
What does the proper pursuit of true knowledge look like?
What does it require?
How is it undermined?
How has it been purposefully corrupted…and to what end?
These are some of the questions that we regularly strive to tackle from a Christ-centered perspective here at Fire Breathing Christian, and, Lord willing, these are some of the questions that I’ll be kicking around in detail with Brothers and Sisters who are serious about not only proclaiming, but actively pursuing, the lordship of Christ in the vital realm of children’s education when we gather together at the third annual Great Education Forum on April 29.
This supercool and much needed event will be hosted at the New Geneva Christian Academy in Appomattox, VA, and will kick off at 1 p.m. (Eastern Time). Admission is free.
What better way to celebrate 500 years of Reformation history than by gathering together to encourage and equip one another to take down the dragon that is the modern American State-managed satanic worldview training system? (See also: Temples of the State: The VERY Religious Mission of American Public Schools.)
Speakers slated to present at the forum include:
- Rev. E. Ray Moore of Exodus Mandate,
- Historian Bill Potter,
- Pastor Larry White of Faith Reformed Church,
- Kevin R. Novak of Deconstructing the Coliseum,
- and yours truly.
I will be presenting primarily on Genesis 3.
It would be great to see you there, so please make plans to join us if you are able.
I’ll be writing more on this event as time rolls on, but I wanted to get this early-ish heads-up out there now.
I’m very jazzed about this opportunity for God’s people to come together this way on this subject.
The winds of Reformation are blowing, the Kingdom is advancing, and the King is using His people to make it happen…all by His grace, all for His glory, and all to our eternal benefit.
Please pray for this event.
Hope to see you there!

I would settle for balanced Libertarianism encouraging freedom of speech, discussion, and thought in the public schools. What we got…. was RADICAL LEFTISM.
It's just as dangerous to give the religious right too much power and authority as we learned during the Protestant reformation against the tyrannical Vatican.
People should have free will, freedom of speech, and the freedom to draw their own opinions.
