In the past few days the news media and the web have been buzzing about the actions of Heritage Christian School in Findlay, OH. I just read a blog post titled “Kudos to Heritage Christian School” by a pastor from Ohio and think he pretty much hit the nail on the head. You can read it here and I think you should. The post is full of truth, grace and gospel and is well worth the 3 minutes it will take of your time. I’ll share his punch line with you here. He says:
Bottom line: Even if you don’t agree with the rule or the principles behind it, you have to appreciate the fact that Tyler and his parents agreed to it and should therefore be willing to accept the consequences without whining about it on the airwaves. Tyler’s not a martyr or a hero. After all, it doesn’t take courage to break your word. It takes courage to keep it, even when you’re being misrepresented and mocked for doing so. Kudos to Heritage Christian School.
