Who Cares what Harvard Thinks?

Who Cares what Harvard Thinks?

Yesterday, Harvard decided to let the R.O.T.C.  back on campus after banning them from campus for over 41 years according to fox-news[1].  The Reserve Officer Training Corps was first banned in the controversy of the Vietnam War and now they have decided to forgive and forget after the Congress repealed the so- called “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. I am so glad that Harvard can give its approval to training young men and women in the service of America again! (Sarcastic)

Who cares what Harvard thinks? I am extremely disappointed in a University that was started by the Minister, John Harvard and that set out to train ministers in the gospel.  They have been long gone from this purpose, so making policy decisions based on if that policy is “gay friendly” does not surprise me. Harvard and schools like it should have a warning label before you apply that says “WARNING: We have thrown God off campus and God’s morals are not welcome here either! Proceed with caution!”

On that note I do not apologize for promoting Biblical based Christian Universities and Colleges to students.  There is a parade of ungodliness happening at secular universities. Columbia University can’t seem to decide if incest is wrong. [2] A Northwestern University Professor this week made headlines for exposing 600 students to a live porn show in the name of “educational purposes”.[3] George Washington University, originally founded by Luther Rice to train and send out Bible believing and Gospel preaching missionaries to the world has long forgotten it’s roots and recently has embraced a Coed- Dorms and free birth control policy.[4] I am worried that the so called Southern Baptist University,  Baylor is heading away from it’s roots as well as it is recently in the news for allowing 25% of its board to be “non Baptist”, and Baylor only has 30% Baptist students.[5]

Why should you care? I guess I just want to say that it matters where you send your students to study. Will they be taught that there is no God and be surrounded by a lifestyle that supports that or will they be surrounded and trained in a Biblical worldview?  This is something Christian parents need to consider.  In a society that is plagued with unending questions somewhere someone should be asking, what does God think?

Lastly, I am constantly encouraged by one university located in Virginia called LIBERTY and others like it that still believe with out compromising in:[6]

1.       The Inspiration of Scripture

2.       The Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ

3.       The Substitutionary Death of Jesus Christ on the Cross

4.       The Bodily Resurrection of Jesus Christ

5.       The second coming of Jesus Christ
