Keep trying SBC

The Southern Baptist Convention took up probably one of the boldest and most needed resolutions in America Today. Roger Moran, a member of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee and a leader in the Missouri Baptist Convention, and a Houston author, asked the convention to propose that all SBC parents remove their kids from the public school systems. It is their beliefs that this system is destroying their children’s well being. They cite the state of the current cultural clashes (homosexuality and creationism) as evidence enough. This has been on the Convention calendar for several years now, but they have yet to respond with a full denominational backing.

The SBC has refused to back this resolution. They believe students need to be a “godly influence” to the others in the school system. With that rationale, I guess men can be a godly influence at strip clubs and bars. I hope the SBC will lay aside their complaints and lead this country to a cultural reformation. Why has the Assemblies of God not made such an attempt? What if both denominations were to make such proclamations? Is it even their job? Should parents follow their spiritual leaders advice on this familial issue?

I believe the SBC made the wrong choice not to back an exit strategy for their kids from the public schools. The State’s indoctrination centers are teaching the kids their liberal agenda with stealth like devastation. The kids are growing up believing that there is no God and that life began as primordial sludge. They are taught a second rate history, if any at all; where heroes are transformed into godless pimps of diversity and tolerance. Kids are ridiculed and ostracized for holding fast to Jesus and His teachings. When schools band together to defy activist judges, they are demonized by the public and media.

It is my opinion that if you are sending your child to the public schools you are committing child abuse of the worse kind. God’s Word charged the parents and not the government to educate their children (Deuteronomy 4:10, Psalms 34:11, Titus 2:1-15). Christian children need Christian education. The public schools, because of the ACLU and the NEA, can only teach liberalism and secular humanism. Is this what you’d have your child knowing? So, I hope Christian parents remove their kids ASAP. Their spiritual lives and well being depend on it.
