	St. Luke's Evangelical Lutheran School   Why do We Maintain a Christian Day School?   God, in the book of Deuteronomy, tells us, "These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.  Impress them on your children."   Solomon, through inspiration of the Holy Spirit, admonishes parents with these words, "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."    Christ, in the New Testament, tells His followers, "Feed my lambs;" and the Apostle Paul says, "Bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."   From the above passages it becomes apparent that we have a definite responsibility, as parents, to God to do all within our power to see that God's children, of whom we are merely caretakers, receive the fullest measure of training possible in the Word of God.   The training of God's children rests upon the parents, especially fathers, and the Christian congregation.  The congregation has established and maintains a Christian day school in carrying out its responsibility.  The school is also set up to aid the parents in any way possible to carry out their personal obligation in the Christian training of these children.  However, the school is not a substitute for the parents.  Your example in Christian living, including devotions and church attendance, will greatly influence the lives of your children in relation to their Lord.
