Gordon Neufeld
“Likewise, if no parenting adult is available, the human child will orient to whomever is near. Social, economic, and cultural trends in the past five or six decades have displaced the parent from his intended position as the orienting influence on the child. The peer group has moved into this orienting void, with deplorable results.”
Gordon Neufeld, Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers

Mystie Winckler
“Truly, the temptation is an opportunity to rely on God and His grace for carrying on. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13”
Mystie Winckler, The Convivial Homeschool: Gospel Encouragement for Keeping Your Sanity While Living and Learning Alongside Your Kids

“As our children’s guides and coaches, we don’t work to remove all temptations, but we do need to provide the support they need in order to withstand and persevere. We point out the path; we remind them of their armor and weapons; we pray for them and with them; we cheer them on as they endure and grow strong.”
Mystie Winckler, The Convivial Homeschool: Gospel Encouragement for Keeping Your Sanity While Living and Learning Alongside Your Kids

Gordon Neufeld
“For the first time in history young people are turning for instruction, modeling, and guidance not to mothers, fathers, teachers, and other responsible adults but to people whom nature never intended to place in a parenting role—their own peers. They are not manageable, teachable, or maturing because they no longer take their cues from adults.”
Gordon Neufeld, Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers

“The wider a man’s knowledge becomes, the deeper should be his humility; for the more he knows the more he sees of what remains unknown. The wider the diameter of light, the larger the circumference of darkness. And so, with every footstep of growing knowledge there ought to be a growing humility—that is the best guarantee both for a sound philosophy and a sound faith. (Moffatt, p. 352)”
