Physical beauty and even mannerisms, voice, speech, etc, are too often the standard that people's intelligence and or worth are judged by. <BR/>Even intelligence is not a factor in the heart. <BR/>I am going through something, now where a sweet, industrious teen is being rejected by his peers because he is considered a nerd. They don't like him, and won't include him in a big event coming up. Why? He wears his pants belted tightly at the waist. He has a strange laugh. He isn't cool. This is so common. It isn't Christ like behavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13625848.post-40458629660337284692008-06-19T20:48:00.000-04:002008-06-19T20:48:00.000-04:00The course is available as MP3 or DVD, for-credit ...The course is available as MP3 or DVD, for-credit or not-for-credit.

Even a sylabus or the course notes would be helpful to give people answers. It seems like Focus on the Family with their view that Dr. Dobson's father's external standards were legalism have a stronger influence on some of our younger people.<BR/><BR/>A resource like that would be very useful for those of us who live in locations remote from any Holiness enclaves. Even some good bible school graduates get eroded pretty quickly out here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13625848.post-54085065744670409682008-06-04T10:50:00.000-04:002008-06-04T10:50:00.000-04:00I couldn't agree more.

When I was asked to design a course that dealt with modesty, gender-distinct clothing, adornment, 1 Cor. 11:2-16, I responded that it would be futile to address such issues unless the students first understood that all of life must be the outflow of love for God and others. So I spend a whole semester developing what it means to love God and others before dealing with these issues. Then as I deal with each issue, I explicitly show how it relates to the two commands upon which all God's will for us hangs.Philip Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999096964733560733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13625848.post-28414047641527125542008-06-04T09:04:00.000-04:002008-06-04T09:04:00.000-04:00Sounds to me like your interlocutor could also hav...Sounds to me like your interlocutor could also have problems with texts such as Hosea 6:6. Same principle involved.<BR/><BR/>The discussion of such issues isn't (or at least shouldn't be) simplistic or artificial, but you are quite right that they are part of our authoritative text and we have no right to ignore them. The challenge is to communicate the "heart" for them [pun intended! :) ] to (esp.) younger folks who are growing up in a very different cultural milieu than we did. A lot of established standards have been challenged--some perhaps rightly so, but others are just "unwelcome" these days.Rod Deckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521333817382327983noreply@blogger.com
