My daughter is a junior in high school and is beginning to look at colleges. We’ve been looking at state schools. She wants to study biology. She will probably get a teaching degree. She told me last week that she thinks a Christian college would be a good idea. I immediately thought about cost. I don’t know how we will afford the tuition at a Christian college.
So I asked the obvious question – Why do you think a Christian college would be the best? Keep in mind that we’ve been paying tuition for Christian schools since she was in kindergarten. She thought of something that I never thought of. She said she knows that studying biology means she will have to study evolution. She doesn’t want to go to a college that will make her compromise her faith in creation just to pass a test. Pretty good reasoning for a 17 year old!
If Christians were more concerned about staying away from things that would make them compromise their faith and beliefs, I think we’d all have a better reputation in society. One of the major problems that exist today is that Christians don’t look or speak differently than the world around them. They don’t take a stand on the issues. They are willing to do or say whatever is necessary in order not to cause a problem.
My kid continues to amaze me with her faith. I can’t thank God enough for her.
