A few hours a week in church—Sunday school and Wednesday nights—don’t stand a chance against more than forty hours a week in progressive schools. I am a living example of this . . . and that was thirty years ago. While my veneer as a youth was Christian, my public schooling core was purely secular. And many of the choices I made later in life reflect this bifurcation during the formation of my character. My paideia was progressive. I never had a chance, and I want a better foundation for my kids.
1 John 4:4 says, "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." Do you honestly think God's Word can't overcome a "progressive paideia"? It does. Using worldly methods to try and effect a spiritual change is a waste of time.
