As an educating power the Bible is without a rival. Most worldly theories and philosophies contain some good. If we could clearly see the evil in them, there would be much less problem. But when men and women we respect, real thinkers and honest students, argue against some of the planks in our theological platform, we become confused and begin to chip away at the foundation truths which have for years supported our church and school system. Satan is not stupid.
Error is much more palatable when mixed with a healthy dose of truth.
So the real test is to remain God-centered while at the same time maintaining a questioning mind and a willingness to examine truth as it grows. Colleges and universities today can hardly operate without accreditation. The government does not give educational loans and grants to students attending unaccredited institutions, and total enrollment is the backbone of a school's budget. Thus, getting past accreditation inspections is of major importance, and we work diligently to meet the required standards. Fortunately, none of those standards has yet caused a confrontation between our basic religious beliefs and the needed accreditation.
