As culture shifts on College campuses, we need to be the Salt and Light.

“In case you had any doubts that America’s college campuses are dominated by Godless communists, fresh statistical evidence is at hand”. That quote is not mine. It is taken word for word from a recent article on a leading financial website, MarketWatch.com. The author Tom Bemis goes on to say “The Communist Manifesto” still ranks among the top three most frequently assigned texts at American universities.

By contrast, the Bible doesn’t show up at all. That’s according to data from Open Syllabus project, which tracks books and other works assigned to students in more than 1 million syllabi.

Each text is assigned a count, registering the number of times it appears in a syllabus, and a teaching score described as “a numerical indicator of the frequency with which a particular work is taught,” according to the site. Karl Marx’s classic receives a count of 3,189 and a score of 99.7. It doesn’t actually show up under economics texts either, as it is generally taught along with philosophy.”

The shifts taking place right now in the spiritual, financial, moral, economic, academic and political beliefs are massive. We are moving away from a Biblical philosophy into secular humanism. Now, don’t panic. Have faith and put it into action. Be the salt and light where you are. Live out your faith. Speak up, get engaged. Share Biblical wisdom when given the opportunity. Salt preserves a gospel-influenced culture. If we lose our saltiness, we will likely get communism in its place. May God protect us and this country from such a horrible philosophy.
