People in the world often reject Christianity simply because they can't distinguish it from mere morality. The world needs morality - oppression thrives when consciences are abandoned - but we need more than morality alone. We need the gospel of grace. A gospel that has largely been lost amid the dos and don'ts and preoccupations of religious culture.

Exactly what has public education been trying to accomplish? Before the 1830s and Horace Mann, no schools in the US were state-supported or state-controlled. They were local, parent-teacher enterprises, supported without taxes, and taking care of all children. They were remarkably high in standard and were Christian.

Colleges, universities, and seminaries do more than just transfer knowledge to students. They sell themselves as "experiences" that transform young people in unique ways. The conservative evangelical Protestant network of higher education has been no different.

Sermons once centered on sin, repentance, and obedience now focus on self-help, success, and cultural acceptance. Worship feels more like entertainment than surrender.
