WHO REALLY FAILED GEN Z? THE TRUTH ABOUT THE COLLEGE LITERACY CRISIS.

Discussed by Edwin Benson
with Return to Order www.ReturnToOrder.org

A recent Fortune Magazine article revealed that GenZers are arriving to college unable to even read a sentence and professors are sounding the alarm.

Today, Edwin Benson discusses this disturbing information. Edwin is retired public-school history teacher and writer for Return to Order.

Click here to read Edwin’s op-ed on this very important topic.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

How is it possible that young people find it difficult to read and comprehend complete sentences? Edwin Benson explains how this happened and why it is so concerning.

Do modern teaching methods purposefully discourage reading long passages?

Are many young men and women who graduate from college with a teaching degree ill-prepared to actually teach students true subject material?

Do modern teaching methods lead to a great deal of indoctrination and very little logical analysis?

Are modern teaching methods tied to Critical Race Theory? Edwin and Terry use the colonization of America and the troubles pioneers had with Native Americans as an example of what the true history is versus what students are taught today.

Can American colleges and universities do better?

If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at questions@cfbc.org

Questions/Issues Discussed:

WHAT MAKES SACRIFICE SIGNIFICANT?

Motive #1: Glorifying God

Motive #2: The good of the people

What does sacrifice mean to the Church – specifically Champion Forest Baptist Church? Pastor Jarrett reads a powerful letter from the first pastor of CFBC, Robin Guess, about their first expansion project in 1976. He also shares some personal stories of the sacrifices church members – and even strangers – are making in order to expand the reach of CFBC to the world.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Remember: It’s not the amount of sacrifice we give to God; it’s the motive behind it.


If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Ever-watching Father,

May the light of your son shine through me today.

I choose to leave darkness and to walk in the light of life.

Father God, I love you. Help me keep your commandments.

Father, as you have forgiven much in me through your son, Jesus Christ, may I forgive others.

May I do to others as I would have them do to me.

Now, Lord Jesus, let’s be going, doing, and fishing for the wanderer and lost souls.

Father, it is in and through the name of your only begotten son, Jesus Christ, that I lift up this plea to the throne room,

Amen
