Jesus himself said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me". He wasn't just making this up, He was sincere in saying that if you want to know God, then you must have a relationship with me. You can't know God and deny that Christ is who He says He is and that He exists. You can't pick and choose what things you like that Christ said, in order to meet your own criteria.
I think there are some things that are taught in the Bible that are very clear and yet it seems like they are called into question in our schools. For example we can look at the Biblical account of creation, it is clear who made the heaven and the earth. Instead of teaching this, at least presenting it as an option, our schools have chosen to teach evolution as though it were fact. If you can convince children and teens that they are just blobs that evolved from tiny organisms, then you can convince them that they have little value.
Our schools also promote tolerance of all people and of all opinions. Tolerance is promoted unless of course you want to stand up for Christian values. If you do this you are said to be intolerant of others. You are judgmental and narrow minded, blind arrogant and ignorant.
Don't get me wrong I am in favor of tolerance and not being prejudiced against people who hold to different values than I have. No one should be mistreated because of who they are and what they believe. But what about us as Christians?
If this sounds like a rant, I guess your right. I get so tired of hearing Christian teens get put down because of their beliefs and if they stand up for God in certain areas. It seems like our schools have become protective of all opinions except those that stand for truth.
We need to pray for our teachers, that they will be convicted to teach truth to their students. We send our children to school to learn truth at least that was the way it was supposed to be. I pray that our Christian teachers have the courage to stand up for truth. Sadly it is a really tough environment for them to do so. The word of God says those who teach will be judged more strictly.
We need to pray for our students that God would protect them from the lies that are being promoted as truth to them. We need to find out what our kids are being taught in school to see if it really is truth. There is a battlefield for our kids minds. Lets join together and stand with them.
