Parents Trust Experience over Bible, Survey Shows
Baptist Press reports that most American parents believe their parenting skills and family lives are pretty good, but they're reluctant to describe their homes as peaceful, relaxed or joyful. They say their daily family time consists mostly of eating dinner and watching television, according to a new study from LifeWay Research. While most parents are trying to improve their skills, far fewer look to the church or the Bible for help, the researchers reported. The national survey of 1,200 parents with children under 18 at home was conducted by LifeWay Research, the research arm of LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention. The study found that 96 percent of parents agree they consistently try to be better parents. "Parents claim they are trying hard to be better parents, but they are not welcoming outside guidance or advice," Scott McConnell, associate director of LifeWay Research, said.

This is exactly how the "emergent generation" is able to swallow the fight agaist sola scriptura. Parents don't teach the value of the scriptures in the home. Buy a self help book, rely on Oprah, these are the things that most people do. Allow the public schools to raise them. How many people are relieved when school is back in session? It makes me very sad...but it's not a shocker.
