Think Christian – Rosanne Barr’s Denying Racism
TED WILLIAMS III •
Christian Headlines.com – What the Response to Roseanne Barr Tweet Says about Us
Jim Denison Thursday, May 31, 2018
Roseanne Barr continues to make news this morning. After her racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett led ABC to cancel Barr’s show, the reaction has been predictable.
Three “self-evident” conclusions
Let’s close with three conclusions that should be “self-evident” to all Christians.
Racism is always wrong. The Declaration of Independence stated what is true of all people: we are “created equal.” As Peter noted, “God shows no partiality” (Acts 10:34). Neither should we.
Sin always affects more than the sinner. Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet cost hundreds of people on her show their jobs, for which she later apologized.
Christians are the Bibles of our culture. One reason our society has largely abandoned biblical morality is that so many are biblically illiterate. It is now our responsibility to live by biblical truth and to persuade others to do the same.
John Maxwell: “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” Will you be a leader today?
John Maxwell is a well known American author, speaker, and pastor who has written many books, primarily focusing on leadership.

‘We’re Teaching Children That Life Doesn’t Matter’: Actress Says Public Education Is Hurting Kids
Sam Sorbo
Actress and author Sam Sorbo may be known for her role as Hercules’ wife on the show Hercules, but now she’s using her platform to speak out about the dangers of the public education system and the importance of homeschooling.
“Education colors your worldview right from the get-go,” she said in an interview with PureFlix.com’s “Pure Talk.”
“Right now we’re teaching children that life doesn’t matter, that life is just a series of accidents and evolution is true,” Sorbo added.
“There still is no proof that evolution is true. In fact, in Darwin’s book, he says he still lacked proof and haven’t found it in the last hundred years or whatever.”
That’s one reason why she and husband Kevin Sorbo chose to homeschool their three children.
“I am a strong advocate for home education. What I’ve realized in the past short while is that home education is less about education and more about the relation. And so you have this relationship with your children that you simply cannot have if you’re sending your children away from you for eight hours a day,” she explained.
While Sorbo admits her faith in Christ isn’t what compelled her to homeschool her children, she has seen the public school’s impact on how the nation’s youth view God.
“After I made the decision I realized I need to give my children religious instruction,” she shared. “The religious instruction that children are getting in public schools is secular humanism. It is absolutely the religious instruction they are getting in school and parents are taking their kids to church every week for an hour.”
Sorbo has written a book about her experience with homeschooling called “They’re Your Kids.”
