Hi
,
Last week I told you about the professor who we met years ago at one of our seminars. She was discussing with my wife the reasons why I was wrong in not believing evolution. She said that she teaches a course at her college called "God and Evolution". She made a number of strange statements about how God used Darwinism to do His creating.
Toward the end of the conversation, she made a startling statement to my wife. She said, "Look, I get a lot of kids at my college from Christian homes, Christian schools, and Christian home-schoolers who don't know what they believe about origins. I set them straight!"
Did you catch that? There are two alarming aspects to what she said. The first involves Christian parents and teachers. Biblical origins are one of the most foundational aspects to the Christian life and education in general. If this is not being passed down to the children by parents and teachers, they are being set up for disaster! They will not have a leg to stand on when their faith is challenged.
And that's the second alarming aspect - she "sets them straight"? No, she replaces biblical truths for man-made theories that lead people away from God. She will be held responsible for this, of course, but we will each be held responsible for what we do with His Word, too. What are each of us doing? What are we passing on to the next generation? Will we each be remembered for upholding the Word of God in our lives and
what we teach to others?
