Purging Christianity From Schools?

Education is a vitally important mission field, in dire need of Christian teachers, administrators, parents, school board members, and Christian students well grounded and courageous enough to stand up for their Lord, and for righteousness.

Our Children’s Education

These are thoughts I originally shared with a group of Christian teachers.

Teens Listen?

In 1988, George Michael won a Grammy award for his album Faith. This disc featured sexually graphic songs, the most controversial being ‘I Want Your Sex.’ Apparently teens were listening to Mr. Michael. That same year, the Centers for Disease Control surveyed teens and learned that 50% of males and 37% of females aged 15-17 had gotten sex sometime during their short lifetime. While a generation of teens was learning to just say no to drugs during the 80s, many of them were saying yes to sex.

How should I respond to teachers who show movies in class with cursing or crude humor that I don’t want to watch?

I’d respectfully explain that watching such movies violates my beliefs, and ask for an alternative assignment to make up for the time I miss.

Dr. Mark Draper is a former college professor who is now the director of Accuracy in Academia. Here are some thoughts he shared in a recent letter:

graduation Angry criticism of our schools is reaching a crescendo. As a teacher and parent, I am deeply troubled by what has happened to our schools, but what worries me even more is what our schools will be like when today’s students become tomorrow’s teachers and professors.

Can Money, Possessions and Eternity be used as the basis for a college course?

This letter from a reader demonstrates how God can use Money, Possessions and Eternity to teach college students about money and giving.

I came across your book, Money Possessions & Eternity about three years ago and have read it cover to cover twice, each time learning and applying it to my life. I have also read The Treasure Principle and have facilitated two small group studies on the book.

My stepdaughter recently graduated from a small private Christian college. She always thought I was nuts when I talked about how money is nothing more than a test here on earth and ...
