Loss of moral guidelines
Broken, dysfunctional schools

Why is this happening?

What will we do about it?
1) Pretend the problems are not there
2) Recognize that problems exist, but keep
our hands from getting ‘dirty.’
3) Get to work:
Restore the foundations, rebuild the city to
the glory of God.
Matthew 4:4
‘It is written, man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth
of God.’
“--that he might make you know that man does not live
by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes
from the mouth of the LORD.” Deut. 8:3
