Let’s get the State out of our children’s heads, shall we?
Goliath towers. He thinks big, talks tough, and actually seems to believe in the inevitability of his victory. His gaggle of hangers-on and yes-men cheer him on and bask in the glow of his largeness, toughness, and perceived inevitability. Then he gets popped in just the right place at just the right time and goes down. […]
Our Satanic Approach To Education Reveals Our Satanic Approach To God
One of the basic lies that we believe – and love – is the notion that we can have Jesus’ stuff without having Jesus. Prosperity. Peace. Love. Beauty. Justice. Security. Law. We actually think we can pursue these things in a legit manner apart from explicit subjugation to Christ. In a very basic (and hopefully obvious) sense, this […]
Confronting The Myth Of Neutrality
People love to pretend. We love to pretend that we can be good without God. Why? Because pretending to have the ability to be good apart from God helps us to pretend that we can rightly understand and pursue things like law, art, politics, economics, and education apart from God. Which all helps us to pretend […]
Let’s get together to expose and crush satanic forms of education, shall we?
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 […]
Education, worldview wars, and the lions who’ve come before us.
A true Christian education and worldview centers on the fact that good things are happening and ultimate victory is assured. It assumes and builds itself upon on the inevitable victory of the King of Creation over every realm of His creation in accordance with His unstoppable, unbreakable Word and Gospel-fueled Great Commission. It’s in this context that even […]
Temples of the State: The VERY Religious Mission of American Public Schools
Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in […]
Yes Charlie Brown, there is a satanic worldview…and it’s the foundation of American public schools.
If there’s one thing most “American Christians” will not tolerate, it’s the removal of Christian sprinkles from their otherwise anti-Christian worldviews and practices. Among the most glaring and impactful of these thoroughly anti-Christian practices is the willingness (and often eagerness) of professing Christians to ship off their little five-, six-, and seven-year-olds to State-run “education” systems in which […]
Do you have two hours a day to focus on your children?
Do you have two hours a day to focus on your children? If so, you can homeschool. That was the short and very sweet point made by a kind Christian woman who called into Stand Up for the Truth on Monday where I was the guest on that day’s show. The subject of the broadcast was children’s […]
Disciples of the State: 10 ways that State-run “education” is (purposefully) killing us.
I love public school kids. Teachers, too. Some of my favorite memories and most cherished relationships were born in an American public school setting. Most reading this post can probably relate to that sentiment. While we can and should be thankful for the many good and beautiful things that God allows us to experience in any […]
There are no “Sword of Truth-free” zones anywhere in God’s creation. Just sayin’.
We’re “educated” from toddlerhood in America to keep The Sword of Truth “in its place” (if we must have one at all), which is, as we are reminded again and again and again: In its sheath and safely stored away at home. Or at church. Or in a prayer closet. Or in our precious, sweet little heart. Or whatever…you […]
The Difference Between Thumping the Bible and Believing It
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. ~ 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (emphasis added) Do we believe this? Do we actually believe that Scripture equips us adequately for every […]
But “Our Schools Are Different!”, Says The State-Discipled Mind
So what if our children are taught that all religions are to be respected equally? So what if our children are taught as much about Islam as they are about Christianity…and all from a supposedly “neutral perspective” (in stark contrast to a biblical perspective)? So what if our children are taught to presuppose no absolute […]
Giving Our Daughters “The College Experience”
Ever wonder why we’re having the cultural experience that we’re having right about now? Ever wonder why we’re having the “gay marriage is ‘legal’” experience now in America? (See: “Supreme Court” Votes for Wrath of God Upon America.) Ever wonder why we’ve been – and continue to have – the “child-sacrifice for convenience is ‘legal’ […]
Ze Heil! (Or: American Education’s Orwellian War on God and Gender)
I remember sitting in my living room with a group of men about a year and a half ago. We are chilling out together, doing a Bible study, and having good conversation. As the conversation rolled on a bit, it got a bit more serious – serious in a good way for the most part, […]
10 Reasons Christians Should Not Teach In Public Schools
Some of my favorite people have been public school teachers. Some of my favorite people are public school teachers. Some of my favorite people are Christians who are teaching or have taught in American public schools. As a product/victim of American State-run worldview programming myself, I have much to be thankful for. High on the list is God’s perfect, purposeful use […]
What if Christians in public “schools” taught Christ instead of Paganism?
What are professing Christians who work for the State-run “education” system supposed to do? How are they supposed to teach? How are they to supposed to present truth? How are they supposed to define and share knowledge? What approach the pursuit of knowledge are they supposed to model for their students? How are they commanded […]
We can’t “pray away” the clarity of Scripture…and we shouldn’t want to.
Prayer is awesome. It’s a matchlessly wondrous and supernaturally powerful means of growth and comfort to the Christian. Through prayer we are able to commune and communicate with the God of all creation in a personal, intimate manner. Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of […]
Politics, education, and the uncomfortable truth about sin. (Radio interview on the “Stand Up for the Truth” program.)
Yesterday I was once again honored to be on the Stand Up for the Truth show with Mike and Amy, and man, lemme tellya, it got really interesting. We started off kicking around the current season of The American Political Puppet Show and talked a bit about what Christians should expect from the current crop […]
Statism 101: State-run “education” makes a State-dependent population.
It’s August in America – that time of year when tens of millions of professing Christians in the “land of the free” and the home of the NSA happily send their precious little children off to the State for State-run, pro-State, explicitly anti-Christian “education” in direct violation of the crystal clear Word of God. It […]
“Christian leaders” STILL encourage Christians to keep feeding their children to the beast of anti-Christian/State-run “education”.
There comes a point at which the warm handshakes, friendly smiles, and killer pot-lucks just can’t cover things up anymore. There comes a point at which even the most naïve and immature Christian begins to sense through the Spirit of God within them that something is way off. Something isn’t right. Something stinks. For year after year, […]
State-run schools teach sexual perversion (again). “Christians” pretend to be “shocked” and “horrified” (again)…and keep right on feeding their children to the beast.
So according to a report published late last week, some “shocked” American parents are “furious” about their government run school’s plan to teach kids about stuff like “gender fluidity” and “the gender spectrum”. To which one might be rightly compelled by concern and true love for these folks and their children to respond: What did you expect?! I […]
Why Statists despise Christian homeschooling (and why Christians shouldn’t feed their children to the State).
By now many of us have heard at least part of the unfolding tale of the Nauglers, a family of 12 in southwestern Kentucky who choose to live an “off the grid” lifestyle of simplicity that includes, among other things, a family Facebook page (kinda funny, right?). One of many articles chronicling the recent arrest of the […]
Happy Earth as the Lord’s Footstool Day!
Isn’t it awesome to live in the real world? And by “real world” I do not mean the real world as the world and worldly like to imagine and portray it to be. I mean the real world as it is. Really. More specifically, I mean the world – the creation – that is right […]
Lesbian Teaches Government School Kindergarteners About “Being Gay”
Shocking! Terrible! How could this happen?! How can those liberals do things like this to our adorable, innocent little children!? Have they no shame?! These are some of the things we think, say, and often hear from others as we witness our American culture and civilization flushing itself down the drain in increasingly dramatic fashion right before […]

If you’ve benefitted from the work done at Fire Breathing Christian, we ask that you consider financially supporting the cause. You can do this in one of three ways: You can drop a few bucks in the tip jar by making a one-time donation through PayPal. You can make a regular contribution by joining our monthly […]
And now for “Transgender” Kindergarten, as brought to you by…American “Christianity”
Last week we covered the new move to support “Transgender” Girl(?) Scouts in, of all places, Utah, so this week it should come as little surprise to anyone with half a clue that we’re now able to confirm…Transgender-friendly Kindergarten! Woohoo! Isn’t tolerance awesome?! Isn’t Christ-dismissing “education” sweet?! And isn’t it great that professing Christians have […]
It’s all fun and games…’til someone actually defines Christianity.
I’m a Christian. You’re a Christian. Practically everybody in America is a Christian. Naturally then, this makes practically every politician in America a Christian (Barack Obama, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton included, of course). Just ask ’em. When they respond by saying that they’re a Christian, that can only mean one thing: They’re a […]
The definition of success, the purpose of education, and how we’ve completely blown it on both counts.
A few weeks back, I had the opportunity to chat with a couple of very nice “education advocates”. Here in Tennessee, momentum has been building against Common Core’s use in State-controlled education systems. As part of a push from the pro-CC side, lobbyists and activists of all sorts and stripes have been dispatched to convince […]
Devil’s Ed. 101 (The Prequel)
This is an inverse of the last cartoon, Devil’s Ed. 101. After thinking about that one a bit more, it seemed like a good idea to go back to show the proper order in which the Satanic approach to the pursuit of knowledge was first spoken and then emulated…by us…right up to today. For a […]
American Culture as the American Church’s Report Card
In light of the Gospel-fueled Great Commission of Jesus Christ (see: Matthew 28), the present condition of the American culture can be rightly described as a “report card” for the professing Christian church in America. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore […]
The Serpent’s Ongoing Education (and Control) of the “Bible Belt”
So there I was, sitting through the second of two similar Tennessee State House hearings on the subject of education, in which Marc Tucker addressed two different Education Committees, when it hit me (again). The “it” in question was this: We apparently have no idea as to what education is, much less what a […]
Redeeming Children’s Education: Confronting Our Satanic Approach to the Pursuit of Knowledge
Last year, in the first few months of (near) daily posting at the Fire Breathing Christian blog, I wrote several articles on the subject of children’s education. Three of those posts were constructed around notes I’d made for a sermon that I’ve since been blessed to share with many Brothers and Sisters who are struggling mightily by the […]
Ten answers to those “What about socialization?” questions from public school advocates.
Evidence of the evils of State-controlled children’s education continues to multiply, amplify and explode all around us, but in a culture still loaded with minds molded on State-run assembly lines, those evils are typically dismissed, ignored, or even spun into virtues. This is the climate into which God has placed His people. Even now in America, […]
Culture-Killer Smackdown: Strip Clubs vs. Public Schools – Which is more destructive?
What would you think if someone at your church was to suggest that a group of Deacons or Elders take on a mission to go and observe normal business activities for a few hours each and every week at a local strip club as part of a mission to “be salt and light” to the strippers and strip club patrons? […]
The Consequences of Feeding Our Children to the Beast
What if Scripture – what we call “the Bible” – was infinitely more than anything else ever written or read, because it was an actual and accurate revelation of God’s very nature? Of who He is? What if this literary revelation had been lovingly provided by God to His people for the sake of ensuring that they enjoy the […]
The Satanic approach to children’s education…as embraced by most professing Christians in America.
What if Satan was not only real, but had a particular perspective on the pursuit of knowledge (aka “education”)? What if his approach to education – particularly children’s education – after purposefully slithering its way into the Christian sub-culture, was able to grow and grow in influence to the point that, many generations after its initial infection, […]
The Beginning of Learning: Christ as the Essential Core of Children’s Education
Ever wonder why, no matter how many gajillions of dollars we spend, how many studies we undertake, or how many reforms we make to address the subject of children’s education in America, we only seem to be able to continue the steady decline in knowledge, understanding, and character from one generation to the next? If you have […]
Retarded by Design: The Mind Blowing Success of State-Controlled “Education”
“Public schools are a failure!” is one of the most thoroughly idiotic lines that we can ever let slip through our mouths as Christians. “But my school is different,” is another. “It’s filled with wonderful Christian teachers who pray all the time and go to good churches. They even preach the gospel by hidden code embedded in […]
