We are all aware that the majority of people in our world today do not hold a biblical worldview. In fact, George Barna discovered from his research that "only five percent of Americans hold to a biblical worldview." That's pretty frightening, isn't it?Barna also discovered only 35 percent of Americans believe in absolute standards of morality -- that is, believe that right and wrong do not change with time or circumstances. No wonder we have children in our clubs who are skeptical about the Bible and about our God!
Postmodern philosophy teaches children that there are no absolutes, truth depends on the circumstances and there is no one right way to believe. It teaches them that they should be "tolerant" of all belief systems and that all are equally valid.
If you've been reading the messages in the Shoutbox in the sidebar on the right, you probably saw the timely question from IOT Deb Gephardt. She asks:
I'd like to hear how some of you may have dealt with/taught others to deal with children who do not accept the Bible as truth and perhaps do not accept that God exists. What are some ideas to begin helping these children as we share the Gospel?
So, what are your thoughts about this? What are you doing in your clubs to help children understand that God is real and the Bible is Truth? Probably many of your TCE students have the same struggle with children in their clubs.
