One of the most common misconceptions regarding our public school system is that the open teaching of religion is discouraged or even banned. Nothing could be further from the truth!
 
Our public school curriculum is intentionally designed to inculcate religious doctrines in our students’ hearts and lives. The truth is, our public schools have always been open to the teaching of religion during class time; as long as it is the religion of Humanism.

The Team Who Believed
 
By Janene Dubbeld
  
The many scents and smells of the holidays are already beginning. Along with them comes the aroma which is always pleasing, and never grows old – the aroma of a grateful heart. The memories which spill over from those who possess it bring smiles to the lips and tugs to the heartstrings. Annette and her family have many, but they share one special golden nugget ...
 
The bedroom held an air of discouragement as Annette followed doctor’s orders for “complete bed rest.” This pregnancy had been a difficult one; and to add insult to injury, the news had come that her other children now had no school to return to in the fall. It had been closed.
Merry X-mas! If you think like I do, you’ve already wondered, “Why in the world did he leave Christ out of Christmas?” I did it just to get your attention.
For many years now, a secular minority has been on a mission to eradicate Christ from
Christmas. I have never understood their logic since taking Christ out of Christmas is about as impossible as taking apples out of apple pie.

GRANDPARENTS AND RENEWANATION

By Dr. James B. Keaton Sr.
 
My wife’s love language is gift giving! Combine that with the fact that we have nine children, nine wonderful daughter and sons in law, forty-one grandchildren and three great-grandchildren and you will understand why the holidays make me a bit nervous, and my wife euphoric. Now don’t think I don’t like to give gifts. I’ve given away a lot of advice absolutely free, and on occasion have even given a piece of my mind for the same price.

Your Child’s Spiritual Health By RENEWANATION President Melvin Adams
The other day I was talking with the leader of a nationally known Christian organization. In the course of our conversation, he said, “I really appreciate the vision you have of offering children across America a Christian education.

Why RENEWANATION? By Janene A. Dubbeld/FGG
A system that is supposed to equip them for “success in life” is quickly turning into a system that “equips them for failure.” This isn’t by happenstance nor is it an accident. Outside of God Himself, we have but one most prized possession. We are seeing an all out attack to bring down our country by violating those we treasure – our children. Read more...

The best one can hope for with the public school system By Tom Wilmoth
When it comes to having students represent a Christian worldview in the public school system, the best one can hope for any more is that the school systems will remain neutral, and not discriminate against a student's free speech protections. Far too often, however, even that isn't realized. Read more...

Casting the Vision

By Pastor Jeff Keaton
Renewanation Founder/Chairman
 
A little less than 24 months ago, as I was standing in the lobby of a hotel in downtown Cincinnati, God began to deeply impress upon my heart this vision of offering a Christian worldview to the masses of children who are not receiving one.
 
I did not need to ask God why He would want this, for I already knew the plight of the children of our nation and the world who are growing up in a culture of godlessness. I did not need to ask why, because I knew that a vast majority of the children in America are not being given a Judeo-Christian worldview and I believe this grieves the heart of God.
