Bob Allen at Ethics Daily has posted a story highlighting a tension within the hearts of Southern Baptists.
Some want all Southern Baptists to pull their children out of public schools.
Others want Southern Baptists to "takeover" the public schools.
Both strategies are evident in school districts all around the country.
Both strategies are evidence that Southern Baptists have lost confidence in the "foolishness of preaching" to share the gospel. Having turned their pulpits into political platforms, Southern Baptists look for political solutions where they are in power. Where they lack political power, they are withdrawing.
The world and all heaven is still waiting for Southern Baptists to learn that the gospel is "good news" about the love and grace that God revealed in Jesus Christ. They still think that it is "bad news" about ignorance of evolution and fear of homosexuals.

Evidence for the reality of evolution mounts daily.
Here's a link to some recent evidence.
Evidence that homosexuality is biologically rooted is also mounting.
Here's a link to some recent evidence.
Since church participation is declining the public school system is a way to get to people of all backgrounds.
I know that in my own school that I teach at there are people I would never be able to get to come to my church.
Just a thought on the need to take over.
