I do agree that the problem begins much earlier than post-secondary. I believe it stems from a system that has abandoned belief in anything beyond the material and the secular. <BR/><BR/>I remember asking a question at the school board more than a decade ago at a meeting where they were voting to give their assent to the removal of Judeo-Christian values from the classroom. I asked what value system they would be using to replace it. The answer was nothing - it was not their job to make value judgments.<BR/><BR/>My argument today is the same as then, nature abhors a vacuum. With some exceptions, the message which our children receive from their education is that they are here by chance. They are a cosmic accident caused by a chain of mindless events. It's not exactly inspiring. <BR/><BR/>It is, however, inspiring to know that a purposeful God created us and knows us, and that He has a plan for our lives. The Bible teaches that we were created in His image. I don't think the effect of the loss of a Biblical worldview in our schools could be over-estimated.<BR/><BR/>All that being said - it is our responsibility as parents to see that our children understand just how special they are and to help them to find their place in this world.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12172321458416805858noreply@blogger.com
