Dobson Again Calls For Parents To Pull Kids Out of Public Schools
- Christianity Today
Dobson called on pastors to join the fight. "I wish every
pastor out there believed that, understood it, that it can't be ignored,"
he said. "It's not as though 'leave me alone and I'll do what's right
inside the four walls of my church and my people will be okay.' Your
people are going out into that world and your children are interacting
every day with those that want to teach them contradictory concepts
that do go to the very heart of the message, particularly the notion
that there is truth."
- When should Christians surrender ground to Satan or the world?
- 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
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.
- 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?
- What scriptures come to mind?
Romans 10:14-15; Numbers 13:1-14:19;
Philippians 4:13; Matthew 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
