Tyler Frost, the high school senior who was suspended for attending his girlfriend's prom, has become a sensation in the liberal media—which should come as no surprise in our current cultural of youthful anarchy. In defiance of the Christian school’s code of ethics, which he voluntarily signed he would uphold, and his family agreed to support, Frost is now saying he made the right decision to break his oath and attend the prom.
Frost’s position is typical of self-centered thinking in a narcissistic society. While he admits his private Christian school does have a contract stipulating "no dancing," he does not believe it should include dancing outside of school. The problem with this position is that it is not up to any student or parent to change the rules or parse them into a new understanding. The apostle Peter talked about individuals who take the Scriptures and twist them to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16).
For eight long years a former president of the United States twisted the normal meaning of words and taught by his negative example another generation to do the same. It is wrong in the secular world and it is wrong in the Christian community to do this.
As a former Christian school administrator I can testify how militant young people can be. I can also testify how supportive parents can be of their rebellious children when the little darlings decide to violate established rules and regulations.
According to news report, the Frost family is threatening a law suit. That too is a clear violation of the Bible and the known will of God. Christians are not to take Christians to court as per 1 Corinthians. "Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? No, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers" (1 Cor 6:1–6).
Long ago God the Holy Spirit addressed the case of young Mr. Frost by way of prophetic principle. "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away" (2 Tim 3:1).
For his defiance of established authority, for his breaking of his signed vow, for his threat of a law suit the Christian school would have a biblical basis to turn young Mr. Frost away. And he should be ashamed.
