Exactly!

Too many people think that immediately after Jesus resurrection people would just go to a Wal-Mart and pick up a bible.

“God has always, and will continue to, watch over His own.”

In an eternal sense, absolutely.

But we cannot be disobedient and hand over our children to the enemy without horrifying consequences.

Do you allow your children to watch porn? Drink underage? If not, why not? After all, what we do as parents doesn’t matter much right?

If they are disobedient they will be punished, NB OT history of the Jews.

You are incorrect....Stanley IS the issue. That is the point of the article.

If you are a member of the Church of the mega mall, I feel sorry for you

And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom.For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified
1 Co 2:1–2

We are called to preach the Gospel and rightly divide the whole word of God. Nothing could be more "relevant." God will take care of the rest. I guess it depends on whether your objective is to save souls or fill the collection plate.

I belong to a very small church, and I am not a fan of Stanley. The issue, however, is the worldview of the majority of the millenials and others. Whether Stanly has a way to reach them or not is secondary. The important question is how we got into this situation, and the answer is that Christian parents and the church have been all too willing to hand children over to a government school system that aggressively disciples them in paganism. So, my friend, as I was saying, the “point” of the article misses the point, as do BOTH Stanley and Mohler.

No that is not the point.

Regardless of schooling if people are taught correctly they will be just fine ..

Some of the worst education I have seen has come out of so called Christian schools.

“This post has nothing , I repeat, nothing to do with public schools”

It has everything to do with government schools, which had a massive influence on the millennials and their worldview that the Bible is not relevant.

Sure there are Christians whose children attend socialist indoctrination for 13 years and still turn out fine. The Barna surveys, though, indicate that 80-90% of them do not turn out fine.

“I do too. Where we differ is in our interpretation.”

Is it your position that everything in the Bible is up for debate and is subject to your own private interpretation?

FReegards!

I was responding to a post that did have something to do with public schools.

“Zhurch”

I like your typo.

In an accidental way, it is very much how I think Andy would spell it - so he could look more ‘cool’.

At the end of the day, yes, because that is what I am responsible for. Each individual is personally responsible for his or her relationship with the Lord. This includes how they choose to interpret the content of His word.

I’m not going to be able to sit at the GWTJ and say, “but the Pope told me...”
