This is sick . . . a man who gave his life for the cause of Christ and is demonized by these Wheaton College light heads. Hopefully some donors will put some common sense into them.

Because all cultures and belief systems are equal, aren’t they? At least if you are woke.

Wheaton also welcomes a student group of homosexual students. Supported by “a group of dedicated faculty and staff members working to enhance the social, emotional, and academic lives of LGBTQ+ students.”

Christians should avoid the place.

This is an excellent talk. Wheaton College should make a change... to their leadership.

I’ve never heard of Dr. Paul before, but I was very impressed with his presentation.

How about asking these Wheatonites to take a mission trip in the conditions Jim and his comrades faced. There are places all over the world that need to hear the gospel.

Anyone familiar with this story knows what happened next: Wives of the slain missionaries continued the mission work and many converts were made among the Auca including some of the killers, who then helped care for children of the slain missionaries. It’s a beautiful story of the redemptive power of the Gospel.

Wheaton has had an anti-Christian orientation and worldview for some time, so this isn’t really surprising. Whenever there is a conflict between Christ and the world you can see the liberal “Christians” come down on the side of the world. By their fruits you will know them.

Given that they’re not removing the monument altogether. I agree with the change. To me it makes sense as a Christian to do so.

And on other topics: I am of the belief certain Confederate monuments or regalia for example should come down and be placed in museum. I’m happy Mississippi changed their flag from the Confederate emblem to something closer to their original flag..A Magnolia with “In God We Trust” inscribed.

“””I’ve never heard of Dr. Paul before, but I was very impressed with his presentation.”””


Likewise for myself.

I particularly liked the segment regarding being savages before Christ and now as cultures turn away from Christ becoming savages again.

Wheaton used to be the very essence of evangelical Christian higher education. Not any more.

When I was there, during two separate terms I resided in Elliot Hall, with the memory of Jim’s martyrdom still fresh in the air. It is a desecration to those men, and to their graduating class, for these SJWs to have done political surgery on their plaque.

I expect an email from Pres. Ryken when they have studied this thing to death and reworked it by committee, as they’ve done with so many other SJW issues this century.

Movie about his murder told by the guy who killed him i think. They perfected a way to circle the planes they flew in the jungle with baskets of stuff so that the amazons could retrieve what was in the baskets without them having to find a place to land in the middle of the jungle.

That’s just terrible! A martyr. What has become of this world?

BIPOC folks can be bad too. And very often are.

Maybe while they are at it they can change Elliot Hall to Malcolm X Hall.

The Bible college I went to actually had an Auca young man attending for a few years. Who knows how many lives were and continue to be touched by those men and their wives. For the glory of God!
