WHAT THE KIDDIES ARE LEARNING IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Thanks to conservative columnist Tony Blankley for information he revealed about school textbooks, charging that the Council on Islamic Education has been given the duty of checking accuracy in public school texts. The result has been a “bloodless revolution inside American junior high and high school classrooms.” One of his documentaries relates to the book by Gary A. Tobin and Dennis R. Ybarra, The Trouble with Textbooks – Distorting History and Religion. Consider this gem they report from the textbook, Holt World History: It tells the kids Moses “claimed to receive the Ten Commandments from God” while “Mohammed received the Koran from God.” Off the Cuff - Part 1
Your editor is excited about this issue. You might say that two of the messages are by – and in honor of – two great saints who reached Heaven some time ago. One is my dear and intimate friend, Fred M. Barlow, born on March 1, 1921 in Marlington, West Virginia and died on George Washington’s birthday in 1983, slightly over a quarter of a century ago. We were friends from the time we met as seminary freshmen until his promotion to Glory. I had no better friend than Fred. What a powerful, biblical preacher he was! We worked together, prayed together, held conferences together on Sunday School, preaching/pastoring and evangelism. Dr. Barlow was an invaluable member of our Biblical Evangelism Board of Directors from the very start, plus a columnist and editor of this magazine almost from its launching until his death. We still miss him tremendously. His message showing the simplicity of salvation for everyone is worthy of your attention and sharing with everyone you know who is not a Christian. |
