[LM_NET] COMMENT: Left Behind series

["Betty Winslow, BGCA" <bgcalib@WCNET.ORG>]

We are a K-8 Christian school and although some of our kids have purchased
and read this series on their own and others have requested that we buy it,
we have decided against adding it to our school library precisely because of
its divisiveness and controversial nature. I won't go into the religious
controversy behind it, except to say that not everyone who believes that the
Bible is the inerrant word of God agrees with every point of view espoused
by Jenkins and LaHaye in this series (me, for example...), but I will say
that the God *our* school believes in and teaches about is not only a God of
righteousness, holiness, and judgment, He is a God of love, grace, and
mercy. And He is not a God who delights in the division of His people by
doctrine. Rather, He wants us to be one in Him and in the doctrines that are
basic to the faith.

Thus endeth the sermon for today <grin>
