According to the Blaze, some school districts in Texas are teaching that the Americans who participated in the Boston Tea Party were terrorists. These same teachers are failing to cover the context of this dispute, fighting against taxation without representation. If this same logic was applied across the board, the entire cast of Whale Wars on Animal Planet would also be construed as terrorists. Instead, students are being indoctrinated with ideology, liberalism and political correctness, not historical truths of America.
To be honest, I had to erase my final 2 paragraphs after I had an epiphany at work. Whether these teachers in Texas have not been shown the love of Jesus or they have been turned off to religion by hypocritical Christians, either way they are modern examples of Israel in Luke 19:41-44. An entire generation has grown up without the Bible and prayer in public schools. Individuals are being raised outside the church, by their culture through the media’s influences and many have embraced a secular worldview. The by product of this truth is America’s education system with these Texas school districts being Exhibit A.
Since I have been working in a secular environment for the past 3 weeks, I am beginning to see why people outside the church act, behave and think the way they do. Most people in this world are like sheep without a shepherd, aimlessly wandering whenever they want in life. Jesus didn’t show anger and frustration toward the lost, rather he had compassion on them. America may be lost for now, but by one person demonstrating the love of Christ locally, there is still hope for the future amidst this terrifying revelation in Texas. Until people break down like Jesus in Luke 19:41 or the cupbearer in Nehemiah 1:4-11, motivation will be lacking. Solomon was right, a sad face is good for the heart!
