The Separatists of Plymouth also sought to live in peace with the Indians. (And God, knowing their hearts had them settle in the area formerly inhabited by perhaps the only Christian Indian in North America, the last of his tribe, who was sent by a wise Indian Chief to go visit them.)

...and he saved their lives.

I'm with #17.....Maranatha~!

I agree. Please consider supporting Ave Maria University instead.

I agree the only "somewhat" safe for kids today is Christian colleges..not the ones that are Christian in name only but ones that still adhere to biblical principles and are at least Christian friendly

I hope those students who are being forced to become secular groups have notified Christian civil rights lawyers..

Here's praying that UB never tries to pull that crap with us here -- I, for one, won't stand by and let it happen.

I'm guessing we'd just go ex officio if push came to shove. No reason why we couldn't.

Not a lot of those left these days.

I know, for instance, in Rochester, Roberts Wesleyan College no longer calls themselves "Christian," but "in the Wesleyan tradition" or something like that.

I knew this would be an interest to you..

It's about Christians who have no real committment to following the Gospel of Christ. ~ Sangamon Kid

Please explain! Your phraseology leads to the conclusion that the gospel is something to be followed, not something to be believed/enjoyed.

But, unfortunately, most of the so-called Christian parents in America still don't get it... It's about Christians who have no real committment to following the Gospel of Christ.


I think that's a little harsh.

I don't. I know people that send their children to Catholic schools, go to Church, and vote for a candidate on the pro-Abortion issue only. I know far too many than I care to who do this.

That is just one example. I know others that tolerate infiltration of vehemently anti-Christian instructors (interlopers, if you will)in a Christian school and won't make waves to get these people kicked out because they don't want to take the time, energy, or make waves.

Poster was right. You are an exception to the norm.

Thanks for the ping...

It is clear good has become evil, right-side up has been turned upside down, and ignorance has replaced common sense -- Further signs that 'Big Guy' must getting close to returning to do a little 'house cleaning';-)

Beginning with the NEA's anti-Christian, anti-America, pro-lie incubation period of K-12 on through the indoctrination nexus of college, this is what it's come down to.

Unfortunately, this is the tab we now have to pick up for allowing the leftist Radicals of the 60s completely hijack the entire "education system" of the United States of America.

Please explain! Your phraseology leads to the conclusion that the gospel is something to be followed, not something to be believed/enjoyed.

Thank you Woody for bringing that to light. I agree, if that were the only statement to base an understanding of the Gospel, then you might conclude that we ought to "work" in order to attain salvation. I was merely pointing out to the other poster that the saints who have gone on before us, AFTER having received the glorious gift of salvation through faith in Christ Jesus, practiced putting away the lusts of the flesh and avoided the influences of the world, and instead practiced righteousness. This holy living was evident by the practical choices that they (in this instance, the Pilgrims) made that affected every facet of their lives.

I think he means this:

Phil 1:27 "Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel."

[keats5]

Would you folks in the know please share your Christian college suggestions for those of us who still have not crossed that bridge?

[jude24]

My advice about Christian colleges: don't.

"Christian" colleges are often no better than their secular counterparts, with the exceptions of some small "Bible colleges" or seminaries.

Even the explicitly Christian ones will teach objectionable stuff. I know a guy who went to Messiah College (in PA), and found all kinds of radical feminism, evolutionism, etc. Ditto from what I hear from my friends at Roberts.

Have your kid go to a state school (cheaper for the same stuff), and hook up with a good campus ministry. I'm partial to Campus Crusade because I'm in it, but InterVarsity is just as good. There are others, too, but check 'em out. There are some bad ones out there too.

[CCWoody]

That seems to be the gist of what the "Kid" is getting at. I'm actually not against the phrase "follow the gospel" as long as it is balanced with the idea that following is not "working for your salvation with fear and trembling," but "working out your salvation with fear and trembling."

One can find plenty of examples where the Lord commands us to follow Him and we are explicitly commanded to "seek the kingdom of God."

Psa 63 O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;....

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
