“Christian thinking pursues embodied community. Before physical people, with human faces we can read, human voices in which we can hear emotion, saying human words that bind us emotionally to a particular place and a particular moment, we are reminded of what the Bible really means by honoring one another, serving one another, preferring one another, loving one another, admonishing one another, confessing your sins to one another, and praying for one another. Pixels are not created in God’s image. People are. It is a holy thing to be with another human being. It is, in fact, our eternal destiny.”

“We can get too easily bogged down in the academic part of homeschooling, a relatively minor part of the whole, which is to raise competent, caring, literate, happy people.”

“And so, my friends, despite a pendulum that seems to be swinging steadily in the "ew, pass" direction when it comes to children, I say it again: Investment in eternal souls is the worthiest pursuit beyond our primary calling to love God first—is, in fact, a natural outflow of that love for Him. And if the Lord sees fit to grant us eternal souls to shepherd in the form of children here on earth, the only way we will miss out is if we fail to recognize that we will take neither
"me time" nor nicer furniture nor "trips of a lifetime" nor spotless car interiors to heaven with us, but instead only those everlasting souls whom God calls to Himself, at least in part, through our steadfast witness of love and instruction in His ways.”

“Schooling that children are forced to endure—in which the subject matter is imposed by others and the “learning” is motivated by extrinsic rewards and punishments rather than by the children’s true interests—turns learning from a joyful activity into a chore, to be avoided whenever possible. Coercive schooling, which tragically is the norm in our society, suppresses curiosity and overrides children’s natural ways of learning. It also promotes anxiety, depression and feelings of helplessness that all too often reach pathological levels.”
