One more thought

I am sitting here musing, with some sadness, at how things have changed. Here we are discussing whether a book about the Bible should be in the Public Schools - the same public schools which, in former times, had the mandate, with the church, of passing on the values of the community. Now it appears the values of the community are no longer relevant.Of course, that may be the issue after all. They never really were. For years the public system was cloaked in the values system of its teachers and leadership, but as time went by, it successfully rubbed off the barnacles of religious faith. This seems to be inherent in a man-made organization that seeks to be neutral. Neutrality is impossible. We are on the wrong side of the battle. As Christians, we are on the side that seeks to instill a biblical world view, and a knowledge of the teaching of God regarding the world. The rest of the system is aligned against God, by its very nature. To be neutral is to be anti-.
