Let's send five year olds to Africa !

Douglas Wilson gets it right again. Let's send five year olds to Africa as a missionary because they can be salt and light in an antichristian environment!

God has created children to be missionaries so let us all seize the opportunity and send them off where they DON'T belong? Eh?

No Dessert for You
by Douglas Wilson

Once there was a young couple whose first child was approaching school age, and they had begun to talk seriously about what they were going to do. The problem was acute for them because they both came from families that had a lot of public school teachers in them. These were Christian people, but public school was simply what everybody did.

If they decided to homeschool, or if they enrolled their child in a private Christian school, they knew that the reaction in the broader family would range from kind bewilderment to outright hostility. They came from an extended family that was very close, and they were not quite sure that they were up to the numerous painful conversations.

Because of this, they had halfway talked themselves into "trying" the public school. Besides money was tight, and if they went the private route it was going to be tighter. The argument that seemed most compelling to them was the "salt and light" argument. "After all, didn’t Jesus tell us not to put our light under a bushel?"

They mentioned this to a good friend of theirs from church, and he looked at them quizzically. "What do you think about that?" they asked.

"Do you really want to know?" he said. "I don’t want to seem rude. Or be rude, for that matter."

"No, tell us," they said.

Without answering, he walked over to their home computer in the corner, and clicked on their web browser. "What are you doing?" they asked.

"Checking Priceline tickets," he said. "I just got a newsletter today from an old family friend in Kenya. He is a missionary there, and one of the things he specifically mentioned was the need in their village for more salt and light. We could send little Sharon over to help . . ."

"But she is five years old!"

"She is salt and light, right? And they need it there desperately."

"But mission boards require training . . . years of training."

"Training . . . is that anything like a Christian education?"

They all laughed and the wife looked at their friend. "We have already fed you dinner," she said. "But no dessert for you."

Take that you atheist!

Gary Demar of American Vision has been "on target" about alot of things for a long time.

(Hey Perry and Kim PLEASE teach me how to do the imbedded thing that shows "click here" so that readers can get there easily..........PLEASE)

Here's an excerpts from an article that is really good.

"When Richard Dawkins (internationally known God-hater/aka atheist) was asked, “What do you believe that you cannot prove?,” he admitted the following: “I believe, but I cannot prove, that all life, all intelligence, all creativity and all ‘design’ anywhere in the universe, is the direct or indirect product of Darwinian natural selection.” Dawkins, and those who follow his naturalistic creed, have faith in an impersonal cosmos that is the product of a faith-committed impersonal concept that has no inherent moral brake."

Here's the footnote:

"God (or Not), Physics and, of Course, Love: Scientists Take a Leap,” The New York Times (January 4, 2005). Quoted in Robert Royal, The God that Did Not Fail: How Religion Built and Sustains the West (New York: Encounter Books, 2006), xii."

Yep, atheism (and every other form of anti-christianty) has the kind of foundation that Jesus spoke of when he described a house built upon a foundation of sand.

So why then are Christians cowering like cowards? If Genesis 1:1 isn't true, what is????
