Christian Dad Hopes SBC Adopts His 'No Public School' Plan
- Agape Press
The Christian attorney feels fellow Baptist parents are naïve
if they believe their children can be "salt and light"
in today's public schools, and he claims there is not a single member
of the SBC leadership who believes it is acceptable to educate children
in an anti-Christian learning environment.
- Who has been given the responsibility of spreading the good
news of salvation (Matthew 28:18-20)?
Why do you think God gave us this responsibility? When
are you old enough to be given this responsibility?
- Is the public school situation too big for God to handle? Were
the cannibals in South America that killed Jim Elliot so powerful
that God could not reach them? When should Christians surrender
ground to Satan or the world?
- What do you think it means to be salt and light to the world
(Mattew 5:13-16)? If light
is seen and not heard, what do you think is more of an influence
on a fallen world (the way you live your life or what you tell
others about who Jesus is)? What do you think Christians should
do about the pubic school issue?
- Who's responsibility is it to teach Biblical values and principles,
right and wrong, as well as moral absolutes to children? (schools,
churches or parents)
- Would God bless a failing or low grade if it was due to the
student standing up for Him and His Word? Explain.
- What scriptures come to mind?
Romans 10:14-15; Numbers 13:1-14:19;
Philippians 2:14-16; 4:13; Matthew 5:13-16; 17:19-20; 14:22-32;
28:18-20
Fear: Matthew 26:69-75;
2 Timothy 1:7-8; Romans 8:31; Psalm 27:1; John 14:27

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
