One News Now had a headline called, "Southern Baptists Continue To Resist Public School Concerns"  .  I'm all for parents having the right to pull their kids out of bad schools and for Christian parents to see what a wonderful opportunity home education is.  We are enthusiastic homeschoolers who love the freedom, flexibility, and excellence that home education can offer. This article, though, kind of makes it sound like the SBC doesn't care about kids, or that the denomination is too wishy-washy or afraid to take a stand on various issues of education.

When we have to pass a resolution about bloated membership rolls that reveal around 10,000,000 professed Southern Baptists don't darken the church door on Sunday mornings, is there really a lot of hope that these same people are going to come up with the energy and conviction to educate their children though homeschooling or private Christian school? Methinks it's unrealistic  to bemoan the lack of resolutions encouraging Christian education when we have so many who aren't even participating in nominal Christian activities, i.e. regular church attendance.  It's a bit like putting the cart before the horse.

Here's hoping and praying that we can have a revival among the people already on the rolls!
