Yes, those things are true.

But we also, by God's grace, have been allowed to be citizens of a representative republic.

And that comes with certain responsibilities.

to see to the health of the Republic.

That is part of our job as citizens, to vote, to use our speech in responsible ways that benefit our Republic and benefit our states and our communities, to freely associate in those same ways for issues that we think are really important, like protecting the lives of innocent people like the unborn.

So it was really interesting as you watch through the curriculum

It was very, very shallow.

It did not deal with any of that.

It did not deal with verses like render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

Well, I would argue that, you know, our political responsibilities, you might say, are Caesar's.

And that is something that we as Christians steward for the good of our neighbor and our children and our country.

And it didn't get into that at all.

It also didn't get into those verses about, you know, working for the good of the place that you live.

And so really there was so little Bible and that was really shocking to me that I went there for a Bible study There is just no Bible here.

There's just kind of this sloganeering And one of the most interesting points of the series that came up to me was when they kept emphasizing David French in this one segment in particular said you have to have humility when you approach complex issues if anyone tells you that they know how to solve an issue and

you need to be on your guard.

And as he was saying that, there was someone holding up a pro-life sign in the background.

So it seemed like a very clear message that if you think you have a clear response

to a complex issue like abortion, then you need to be on your guard against that person.

Well, some issues are complex and Christians can have different views, but not on abortion.
