Gospel Advocate, November 2009, The All-Sufficiency of Scripture.

Nice article. You mention fifty years ago preachers believed in the all  sufficiency of Scripture. I can explain some of the problems the church Jesus established on Pentecost is experiencing are the result of forty years of unsupervised youth ministers and parents and elders delegating the responsibility to those men who at the time needed instruction and guidance themselves.

 

But how do we explain those parents and elders? Go back another fifty years to a time when the church was experiencing growth? What happened to the children of those leaders of the church? Apparently they failed to pass along their view of the scriptures. 

 

If a man is to get credit for having obedient children he must accept the blame for children who are not obedient. That suggests how one's children turn out is under the control of the parents. Parents must understand their responsibilities. Until the bible is back in the family and the family is back in the fold the church will continue to struggle. 

 

One solution is Christian education. Sometime I will explain how the worst enemy Christian education has is the Church of Christ.

 

Again, nice article.
