I am against parents who expect anyone other than themselves to raise their children. All studies how that parents are still the strongest influence in their child's life. That goes for public school kid's too. Is it not beneficial to have your child engage with a system and peers which they might disagree with on sex, religion, and politics? After all aren't we engaging with people who disagree with us on sex, religion, and politics...? Maybe that is the issue! Maybe some Christians have decided that because political ideology has shifted in the country that we should run for cover, build a giant bunker that has Ronald Reagan painted on the door, and start burning books that have differing opinions in them. Or are we so unsure of God's Word, Spirit, and strength that we look to the government to be our safety net. The first Christians raised their children in Rome--the pinnacle of purity and godliness. Paul's word is to pray for those leaders and engage your neighbor. Is perhaps the time we should be engaging our children on the faith been replaced with activities or vacations? Has the mission of the church begun to shift to "Jesus wants me to live life to its utmost potential...He said so! But I'm sure the life He was talking about will look nothing like His life on earth."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681200355928377615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259872.post-70121841204041190842009-09-06T13:15:41.708-05:002009-09-06T13:15:41.708-05:00I think you are right on, I don't know what is...I think you are right on, I don't know what is the problem with the young children learning who is the Presidet.
