For a full understanding of what Dr. Fremont is advocating, be sure to read the whole article. He concludes with his typical faithful spiritual optimism (not merely a positive attitude, but living faith in God):<\/p>\n
It is only through the power of Jesus Christ working in and through born-again Christians that anything can be accomplished. “Without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5). Each born-again Christian must decide that he is going to change the culture in which he lives by living and teaching these themes. In the home children will be greatly affected as they observe their parents. In the community, neighbors will be affected as they see Christians activating these themes. In business, corporate leaders will be influenced as they see their partners and employees living these themes. There will be revivals in churches and Christian schools if enough Christians decide to make the changes to bring their lives into line with God’s themes. If any changes are going to come about in our culture in the next generation, they will be determined by what we born-again Christians do with these themes today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I am unashamed of my BJU education. It is men like Fremont (who I never had for a class, but his influence at the University was inescapable and we were members of the same church) and a whole host of others who shaped my philosophy and thinking. We perhaps are seeing how unique and valuable they were as they are now passing off the scene.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I encourage you to read the whole article.<\/p>\n
