Southern Baptist Convention - Thay won't Walk the Talk

[volzcpa]

The president of the Southern Baptist Convention to be held next week made some pre-convention remarks including the following:

“The convention’s president, the Rev. Bobby Welch of First Baptist Church in Daytona Beach, Fla., also said that a resolution decrying immorality in American public schools was likely to be debated at next week’s annual gathering in Nashville, Tenn., but that it would be wrong for Southern Baptists to withdraw their children from public classrooms.”

Matthew 18:6 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

“Decrying immorality” doesn’t cut it, it takes action.

Welch said the need to reach out to people was why messengers at next week’s convention should not adopt any resolution that called on Southern Baptist families to pull their children from the public schools.

The trouble with keeping kids in public schools is that they often are led astray by peer pressure, some even losing their faith entirely. How can a person go to a school and just leave their faith at the door? (Which is what one has to do at public schools today.) I don’t see why religious parents think public school is a good idea. Also, I think it’s unreasonable to put young, untrained Christian kids in public schools simply so they can be “salt and light”. Especially when they may lose their faith in the process.
