THE ONE YEAR OPINION CLUB

“Bring your Bible to School Day” has been taking place every year since 2014 and asks students to “celebrate religious freedom and share God’s love with their friends.” In a promotional video posted by Focus on The Family, Drew Brees encourages students to participate in the Oct. 3, 2019 event. “Hey guys,” Brees says in the video, “one of my favorite verses in the bible is 2 Corinthians 5:7 , “for we live by faith, not by sight.” “So I want to encourage you to live out your faith on ‘bring your bible to school day’ and share God’s love with friends,” Brees adds. “You’re not alone.”      But some are criticizing the quarterback for partnering with Focus on The Family, which advocates for traditional marriage, according to CBN news .

Prov 20:6 most men will proclaim everyone his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? What’s moral & what’s immoral & when have we crossed that line? A few questions to ask: 1.       What would you do for your kids? 2.       What would you do for a family member? 3.       What laws are breakable 4. ...
