The debate over flags in the Church is riddled with problems
and clouded by false assumptions. There is a problem with the sanctuary model
to begin with, the idea that a building is somehow a 'holy' place, a
'sanctuary' or that the front of the structure is some kind of focal point – a
leftover of the unbiblical altar-theology of Romanism.
From the Olympics to computing, from news to politics, the Russians are everywhere in the news or more accurately the Anti-Russian propaganda campaign is everywhere. This is by far the worst we've seen in forty years, since the tense period accompanying Reagan's ascent to the US presidency. Almost immediately he began a rapid military buildup and a series of aggressive military Psyops directed against Russia. The US pushed the Russian security perimeter by air, land, and sea. At that time the Soviets were in dire fear of an American First Strike and became very edgy and the tension led to events like the shootdown of KAL 007.
This is a problematic article to be sure but nevertheless it
should be read. The School Board Strategy is proving effecting and it's
expanding – and it's likely that it's already affecting your church or soon
will be. The author is sounding the alarm and we should be alarmed – but for
reasons different than those of the Religion Dispatches reporter.
These are serious challenges we all face on a personal level and one wonders if many parents caught up in the movement missed the trees for the forest. They saw the big sweeping picture in terms of goals and aspirations for their children but missed the nuts and bolts, the essential parts that require so much time and attention.
I am a strong proponent of homeschooling and believe that for
Christians it's the best option available when it comes to educating our children.
While we deliberately never joined the Homeschool Legal Defense Association
(HSLDA), we nevertheless made occasional use of their website, following some
of the legislation and developments in our state and around the country. And so
it was in that vein that we began to hear about Patrick Henry College and later
the HSLDA-connected Generation Joshua project.

This reading of Paul is common in Evangelical circles but a more careful reading of the passage reveals that it has been misunderstood.
