A high school in Bedfordhire England has a policy of not correcting any more than three spelling errors in students’ work for fear that such an action would damage their self-image. Local MP Andrew Selous called this “a false kindness to children” – and he is surely correct. It seems we will go to any length to pretend unpleasantness doesn’t exist. We pretend we are not sick and fail to get needed medical help. We pretend that death ends all. We pretend that sin is just an error in judgment. But the pretense with the most far-reaching and most tragic results is pretending there is no God and no life after death. But truth is never changed by pretense. In the book of Galatians Paul wrote, “do not be deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows he will also reap.” Isn’t it time you got our head out of the sand?
