The Battle of Ideas

Passage of the Week:

2Cor 10. 3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (NIV)

Thought of the Week:

Why do we believe that Christian educators in the public school system are the front line in our spiritual battle? Because the spiritual battle is a battle of ideas. Notice that when the apostle Paul spoke of our warfare, he spoke of “demolishing arguments” and taking thoughts captive. Spiritual strongholds are large belief structures, every building stone of which are a specific lie.

Great News of the Week:

Paul affirmed that we have the power from God to do the job of bringing down false worldview strongholds! We do this by living the truth, affirming the truth at every opportunity, and (here’s our secret weapon) praying the truth into the minds and hearts of our students.

Please Help!

Please help us encourage Christian Educators in our public school districts. You can do this by sending us your insights about teaching in public school. Please also send us the e-mail addresses of teachers who would be willing to get networked with us.

We will never try to sell you anything, we will never ask anyone for money, and we will never share our mailing list with anyone who would.

We also welcome your prayer requests which will be held in strict confidentiality.

Praying that you’ll have a great week at school,
Roderick
