So last night was my first trip away from Karen and Lauren. Luckily it was only a few hours, but it seemed like several days away from my two favorite girl's. Dr. Burks and I attended a Harding alumni reception that was organized and hosted by Waterview Church of Christ in Richardson, TX. The reception was very well attended by more than 70 people who attend Waterview church and have ties to Harding University. It is evident that this church cares about their youth and also firmly believes in higher Christian education. There are currently over 28 students at Harding from Waterview, more than any other church that I am aware of.
So here is a church that supports, encourages, and trains their youth and promotes higher Christian education. Why is it that they are the exception instead of the standard? Do you believe Christians: 1) see the benefits of Christian education 2) do enough to help our youth make informed decisions about secular & Christian universities?
