I have to wonder if a lot of "IFB" schools do more harm than good in persuading kids that the Gospel is good to take the very Gates of Hell--not a mere wall behind which we can hide.Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-10409967628279222752013-07-22T08:23:11.939-05:002013-07-22T08:23:11.939-05:00I attended a secular university - living in the do...I attended a secular university - living in the dorms - after graduating from FBCS, and know that I was entirely too naive to be effective salt and light in that situation. I had no problem "maintaining my testimony" and still attended church on Sundays, but I was in no way prepared to build the relationships necessary to actually point others to Christ - I don't blame Fourth for that alone, it's also a failing of my family and churches I grew up in. I followed the rules because it's what I had always done, but found I didn't know why.<br /><br />It's one of the many reasons my wife and I no longer identify ourselves as "IFB," and one of the things we're doing our best not to repeat with our daughter. tobinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-33330834771814671622013-07-20T18:54:40.285-05:002013-07-20T18:54:40.285-05:00(typo in previous comment!)

Not to debate that (I really didn't think I was blaspheming God" but at least his comments got me thinking.<br /><br />I don't recollect anyone witnessing to me in HS. Maybe I wasn't listening.<br /><br />In my freshman year of college I flirted with a cute gal from Texas and she seemed interested in me. Finally I gathered the courage to ask her out and she declined and completely distanced herself from me. Much later (2 or 3 years later) after I became a Christian she told me she declined because I wasn't a Christian.<br /><br />Both cases were what I would view as fairly weak witnessing but regardless along the way I did find (really He found me) ChristJim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-29955812729255257362013-07-20T10:16:05.788-05:002013-07-20T10:16:05.788-05:00I left out a section (may not be on that page) tha...I left out a section (may not be on that page) that expressed that every Christian should go to a fundamentalist Bible college. <br /><br />Jim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.com
