Cultural Change

Having just received a week of intensive ESL language training in a major American city, I experienced first hand the avalanche of cultural change. As a child in school I was taught in what I would now call "Old Style," an amalgam of lectures, tests, note taking, memorization based on the premise that the teachers knew their stuff. The society had not yet lost its sense of propositional truth. Today's schooling is student-centered, entertainment based, incorporating many varieties of learning, and is much more feeling oriented. I suspect the the feminizing of our society plays a major role in this. But what does this say for teaching Biblical truth. Is it passe? Do those who know little teach one another? Do we need to feel good about something before accepting it? Personal observation says that most American Christians are Biblically illiterate, even after many years in the faith. Do we need to examine other methods of Scripture acquisition?
Thankful to get together with some of the brothers in our group this morning to update one another on our lives, pray, and look at some verses pertaining to the importance of apostolic traditions.
Appreciate any prayers for this month of schooling, all day, every week day plus homework. "God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." (1 Cor. 1:9 ESV)
