I'm pretty sure what Andy meant here by "can do much more than they 
are giving themselves credit for" was that people often underestimate
what a difference they can make in a secular school, or they don't 
think they'll be able to stay focused on God in such a place.  That
was the idea of not giving yourself (or God really) enough credit.
It was not supposed to mean that people didn't think they were up
to a "secular education" ability and that is why they just go to
Bible school.  I don't think anyone on this list has anything but
respect for the education attained through any Bible College.  I 
personally would think it superior to that of most secular schools, 
because (hopefully) God is supporting and leading it.

Just my $.02,  Andy can correct me if I'm wrong. ;-)
