Television is full of evil ideas that are being stored in peoples hearts although there is very occasionally something worthwhile, just as one example of cultural immersion. So where can a parent allow their children to be freely immersed in the culture without coming away filthy in heart? Only a couple of places come to mind, church, of course, and a place called Westbury Christian School comes to mind. At WCS I've seen many, not just a few, but many men and women, that bring the best and cleanest of culture and spirituality to hundreds of young people. It's a joy to know that close to 600 children for 9 months a year for the biggest part of a waking day are exposed to the culture of WCS. The school and it's faculty and staff do not guarantee a graduate with a pure heart but at least the ideas are stored up to be drawn from in future years. The overflow of these childrens hearts has to be improved from immersion in the culture of WCS.hallmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16817306564546001962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17957153.post-1149249232187585232006-06-02T06:53:00.000-05:002006-06-02T06:53:00.000-05:00You hit on something that is very important as you...You hit on something that is very important as you often do. <BR/><BR/>Luke 6:45<BR/>"The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart.
