[AD from SpringBay]

Churches teaching self-help theology instead of the Bible? Maybe two generations of parents who have been raised on 'don't give a flip if it don't feel good'?

Hosea 4:6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

“Churches teaching self-help theology instead of the Bible?...”

AD - I agree with you completely. Great Scriptural reference as well. Our answers are there, if we only take the time to look. I understand what the article is saying, though in my mind, we can’t blame the educational system for our young peoples lack of knowledge. That falls squarely on the parents. As a Christian parent, I am the one who is charged with raising my child in the Christian faith. I will be the first to admit some of our churches fail miserably, but again I go back to the parent. It is my responsibility to be aware of what my child is being taught, and to be educated in my own faith so that I can make the right decision for my child. I realize this isn’t very PC these days - it’s JMHO, but I believe it is correct.-—JM

It’s not only religion and the Bible — most of western literature refrences the Bible, and if you don’t know the Bible, then you’re mising a dimension of the literature.
