Remember the story last year about the grandfather telling his grandson to use the girls' restroom if the other boy was using it?
It's the same story. This is the same grandfather.
Here's the story from last year:
Ping!
Wintertime, you might be interested in this story because you posted the original story last year. This is a follow-up. See my post above for a link to the original story.
The following was my comment to last year's story:
Christian children should not be used as pawns to score political or religious points.
Also,,,What happens in California doesn't stay in California. It sweeps the nation and finally winds up in Maine.
It's time for Christian teachers in this school district to quit. Personally, I don't know how they can justify working there.
What are they doing? What example for Christianity are they setting when they open the doors to this school and its classrooms?
1) Do they kneel before God and pray, “Help me to be sly and sneaky today so that I can sneak a few grains of Christian morality to my students today.” If Christian teachers are doing this, then they are teaching by example that Christians are sly and sneaky.
2) Are they praying, “God, please help the students not notice that I am aiding and abetting a system that is utterly hostile to the Judeo Christian values that are universal for all men.”
3) Are they asking God, “Please help me to act in a lukewarm manner about Judeo Christian values so that I can continue to collect my pay check and very generous vacation, retirement, and health benefits. Please help the students not notice that that I do this for money. “
4) Do they say to God, “Yes, Christ spits the lukewarm out of his mouth but please don't let my students be nauseated by me and my example.”
Is it any wonder that so many Christian youth reject their religion within 2 years of graduating from government high school (85%). While homeschoolers stay faithful by 90% and more? ( Yes, I have links.)It is said that example is the best teachers, but what are teachers modeling? That Christians are sneaky? Sly? Lukewarm? And will betray their religious convictions for money?
Personally, I believe that example is not the “best” teacher. Example is the ONLY teacher! So?...What are Christian teachers teaching their students by their example? Answer: Plenty that is very negative!
If Christ would spit a lukewarm, fence sitting Christian teacher out of his mouth, I don't doubt students would be nauseated as well!
So?...Tell me. Will the job of true missionaries (that these formerly government school kids meet as adults) be harder or easier because of Christian teachers trying to use a salt shaker to spread a little Christian morality around? Answer: Harder!
The solution:
1) If you work in a Maine government school, get out of it the now! If you work in any government school heading in the same direction, do the same.
2) Or,,, If you continue to work in the government school, then stop being lukewarm. Get completely off the fence and get yourself fired!
3) Remember: Your own children and the children of your congregation are your most important mission field.
4)Work to start Christian schools in your congregations.
5) Once Christian schools are smoothly functioning in your church, take in as many non-Christians as possible, provided it does not overwhelm the culture of the school. Mentor the non-Christian parents. Introduce them to the gospel. Teach them sound parenting practices. Teach them how to create a Christ-centered home where learning is valued.
6) Work with others to organize a massive school tax revolt, and SHUT these government schools down! They are destroying the Judeo Christian values, morals, and ethics, upon which ALL freedom rests. All it takes is one generation and freedom will utimately lose in the voting booth!
7) Think creatively. Expensive brick and mortar schools are not necessary. With today's technology an excellent education can be available to all in home schools, “micro-schools”, one-room-schools, and through distance learning.
8) Work to form private Christian scholarship foundations that would give private vouchers to private Christian schools. Harvard has a $35 BILLION dollar endowment! We are a wealth nation. Every child wanting a free Christian education in our nation could have one! Christians could do this if they **wanted**! ( even every child in the world!)
Perhaps one reason that Christian education, and Christian scholarship foundations, are so weak in this nation is because there are too many Christian government school teachers sitting in the pews, and their ministers are too timid to offend them and their government paycheck ( a portion of which makes it to the collect plate). Follow the money.
