I disagree with Dr. Clark's ideas regarding online schools.
There is no biblical warrant to pull someone away from his family and local church in order to study for the ministry.

I believe that seminaries have taken over a function that rightly belongs to the Church, training its members to minister in Christ's name. In my estimation the Church is the God-ordained tool that God uses for education, not the seminary.

Christian ritual costs nothing and is worth nothing. True Christian religion costs all that we have and is worth everything.
