Why Christians must practice critical thinking

Charles Francis Potters authored, Humanism, A New Religion in which he wrote:

Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday schools, meeting for an hour once a week, and teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?

Researchers continue to come up with increasingly grave statistics that reveal the success of the Secular Humanists. Consider how serious the condition is among self-professing Christian adults:

64% believe moral truth depends on the situation;
60% believe male/female co-habitation outside of marriage is acceptable;
55% believe a good person can earn his or her salvation;
44% believe Jesus Christ committed sins while on earth.

And consider the peril of college students:

67% of college professors approve of homosexuality;
84% of professors approve of abortion;
65% embrace socialist and communist ideals;
88% of students from “Christian” homes deny their faith before they graduate from college;
91% of students from evangelical churches do not believe in absolute moral truth.

We must teach our members biblical discernment and critical thinking. Instead of accepting the postulates of a godless society without examination, they should be able to analyze such ideas from a biblical worldview mindset.

The Apostle Paul advised:

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2)

Statistics used above were recently reported by a Worldview Weekend email update.

Homosexuality brainwashing for third graders

Pastor J.R. Ensey reported this in his Advance Ministries Newsletter:

"If you doubt that the homosexual agenda is being promoted in our public schools, just check out these two excerpts from a film that teachers are required to watch to learn how to promote gay and lesbian lifestyles. This is not a set up. These are real teachers and real students. It will shock you!"

This is another wake-up call to our churches, specially our Sunday Schools, to really "train" our children in the ways of the Lord. Need we mention the responsibility parents have to explain such issues to their children?
