Why Not? 
Scott and Brenda Shane are parents to Bennett, a junior, and Sarah, a freshman, at Martin Luther.  Scott works for Schwan’s Foods.  Brenda teaches 7th & 8th grades at St Paul Lutheran, Fairmont, and serves on the Board of Directors for Martin Luther High School. Bennett is involved in Drama and Choir and serves as Vice-President of the Junior Class. Sarah plays volleyball, basketball, serves on yearbook and is President of the Freshmen Class. 

“When asked why we choose to send our kids to Martin Luther, our answer, simply put, is also a question….why not?” says Brenda.  

“In a world so entangled in sin, and in a society that seemingly accepts more and more sinful behavior as a social norm, we choose to send our children to MLHS where Jesus is proclaimed throughout each class and where faculty and staff help our kids to discern between right and wrong.  Teenagers don’t always like to heed the advice of their parents, therefore we are so grateful that at MLHS, teachers are also teaching students how to witness and to defend their faith in today’s society, thereby reinforcing what we as parents are trying to teach at home.  

At Martin Luther, our kids are in small classes where they receive the attention they both need and desire.  Accommodations are made for individual students based on need, and students are challenged by college prep courses both on-campus and online.  We have personally felt that our kids’ teachers truly value their unique gifts and talents, and encourage them to actively use those gifts and talents to glorify the Lord in their school, church, and community. 

​The financial cost of education at Martin Luther is high, but the eternal rewards of rooting our children in faith and surrounding them in the fellowship of believers to strengthen the means by which they may defend that faith in our corrupted world...those rewards are priceless.”

Incorporated Religion


     i have heard countless times that religion and reality are not necessarily compatible and that they do not have to be.  Individuals making these statements generally consider religion a set of guidelines to live by and treat people nicely, but not as a guide to history, money, or science.  In large part, that is why America, in its push for political correctness, is not concerned with religions that make no claims on history, money, or science; BUT Christianity creates a real problem because it  DOES make VERY specific claims to history, money, and science.  Therefore, some religions are “welcomed” into the political arena/classroom, but Christianity creates friction.  

     The claims Christianity makes are, for the most part, contradictory to what shows up in the textbooks in America’s classrooms.  This creates an environment in which five days a week students get a story that is largely inconsistent with the “story” they get on Sunday mornings.  To make matters more complicated, as far as our youth are concerned, Sunday mornings are not designed to take the time to affectively teach the differences in these worldviews of history, money, and science.  This generates an even greater chasm between “real” history, money, and science compared to Biblical history, money, and science, i.e. climate change, millions/billions of years, look out for #1, survival of the fittest, fossils, global flood, radioactive dating, origins of the moon, aliens, common ancestry, the missing link, on and on.  

      This crossroads comes to roost in America’s Christian youth.  They are being brought up in this dichotomy.  How are these young people, with limited experience and not fully capable of rationalized thinking, supposed to sift this information, especially if they are given only one side of the politically correct agenda? Should they just incorporate all these secular “facts” into the Bible?  The secular facts clearly stand in opposition to the plain and simple reading of the Bible.   Kids are not dumb and they see this incompatibility.  The result: they leave the church in large numbers.  Or they will completely compromise the inerrancy of Scripture.  Is there any wonder we see declining numbers?  This is not merely in Millennials, or Xers, or Boomers, or whatevers.  The church has not combated the culture’s  attack (Satan’s attack) affectively.  

      Here is where the Lutheran church, starting with Martin Luther himself, embarked on the idea of schools teaching the Biblical worldview everyday in every class. Before this sounds like Lutherans have it all figured out, we have a functional answer, but it is way under-utilized.  Jesus has all the answers that combat the culture.  His answers are better.  They are consistent.  They make sense.  They are perfectly mutualistic with everything else.  My goodness, it is surprising how creative the culture needs to be in order to make their ideas have the depth to be mutualistic.  Just google (not during the sermon) “the formation of the moon” to see what is being taught independent of Jesus.  Every theory of the moon’s origin will have major impact on a number of other major origin ideas.  These theories are far from seamless/mutualistic.  Is this what you want your kids to know as the truth?  We have the great benefit/blessing of being in an area that has some fantastic Christian schools teaching the Truth that integrates, permeates, and penetrates our lives to our eternal benefit via Love as defined in the Cross. We provide the facts that make faith fit, not fiction. Take advantage of this blessing.  Share this blessing.  Help someone else see the benefits in this blessing.  Continue to make these ministries blessings for a long time to come.   

                                                                                                                                                  Come Lord Jesus, Amen!
