Seizing High Ground in World View Battle

Last night as I watched the season finale of 24, I saw Jack Bauer calling for a muslim cleric from what Jack surely thought was his deathbed. They “forgave one another their sins” and Jack supposedly got peace.

When I looked at the news this morning, there was a big fuss over Gideons putting Bibles on a desk in the office of a public school in Frisco. Then there also was a story about supposedly finding the “missing link” to prove Darwin’s theory of evolution.

Just another day of relentless pounding against the Christian world view.

At The Rock, we are working to develop a new generation of leaders who are lights in the darkness -- full of grace and willing to speak the truth in love as revealed in God’s Word, the Bible.

The greater the darkness, the more profound the light. That’s why I’m so glad that Dan Panetti, director of world view at Prestonwood Christian Academy, will be conducting a live Christian World View videoconference Sunday May 24 from Dallas to our Rock university students in Kampala Uganda.

We want all of our scholarship students to be able to think critically (as opposed to being critical people) and to compete vigorously in the marketplace of ideas. Dan will exhort them not only to live their faith, but to seize the high ground in defending it. -- Mark
