In Matthew 5:14-16 we read: "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven" (ESV). What are some functions of light? Experi­ence teaches us that among the purposes of light are these two: to dispel darkness and to enable work to be done. This article sheds some light on Reformed Christian education.

I would argue that Christian education is an­other part of the thankful­ness which God requires of us. The Psalmist declares, "Behold, children are a heritage of the Lord" (Ps 127:3). God entrusts these covenant children to our care that we would raise them in such a way that they would know their sin and misery, that they are set free through the blood of Jesus, and that we are called to live thankfully in all areas of our life.

There was a reason why Christian schools were organized; in previous generations. They developed out of a covenantal consciousness. We are to be a distinctive people who, by God's grace, seek to live according to God's Word in every way. Our children, in their formative years, need to learn this, even as do we in our advanced years.

There once was a uniformity of what was being taught to covenant children; a relative harmony in the three-legged stool of home, church, and school. All of this reminds me of when Ronald Reagan was running for president against President Carter in 1980. Reagan famously asked Americans about their economic condition when he said, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" The question today for us may be, "Are Reformed Christian schools (education), Reformed families, and Reformed churches better off than they were in 1980?"
