Bible Note: Hi, Ed; Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I think the two statements harmonize in this way: If my children constantly ask me what they should do, they'll soon find an area where I can't help. My goal as a father is to equip them to make good decisions on their own in whatever circumstance they find themselves in. Such is the effect of renewing the Christian's mind and writing God's law on the Christian's heart. I think what Rosa Parks, Dr. King, and others did helped, but you're right that the resultant flood of legislation fell far short of its intentions. Good institutions can't make bad people good but good people can make bad institutions good. We are in complete agreement about coed dorms! There are many bad ideas in modern higher education, but that is one of the worst. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
