Low and behold, I find that Sonlight agreed, and their book of time stickers are now from that very source! <BR/><BR/>I have indeed heard the criticism from other Moms online that they ordered Sonlight but find it is so secular, and it does not support them enough in dealing with these issues with their children. My dh urged me when I talked to him a bit about it to let Sonlight know. I actually felt reluctant, somehow I worried that the response would be something like directing me to the 27 reasons article.... And that would be that. I am truly, truly encouraged, thanks for the Christlike humility. :)<BR/><BR/>I feel incredibly stretched (in a good way) and blessed to use Sonlight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6888282.post-64050825807453055322009-02-10T22:02:00.000-07:002009-02-10T22:02:00.000-07:00John: I like the Francis Schaeffer/Os Guiness mod...John: <BR/><BR/>I like the Francis Schaeffer/Os Guiness model of worldly engagement. <BR/><BR/>Study the world around you --- learn to understand it ---- then engage it and give it the intellectual and spiritual criticism it has earned. <BR/><BR/>This is how a Christian heeds the scripture, where it says to be "In the world --- but not of it." <BR/><BR/>The Swansons of the world are trying to create heaven-on-earth. <BR/><BR/>Look at the tower of Babel --- It can't happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6888282.post-2803481525857638652009-02-10T11:00:00.000-07:002009-02-10T11:00:00.000-07:00John,Your humility is in stark contrast to CHEC/Ke...John,<BR/><BR/>Your humility is in stark contrast to CHEC/Kevin Swanson's pride and arrogance.
