Jesus is the Way,
the Truth, and the Life. We must remember that the Fear of the Lord is the
beginning of Wisdom and Knowledge. Our education should have an element of Bible Study, worship of God, and moral
teaching based on the Bible. As a homeschooled young man who also did
distance learning in a Christian school and was dual enrolled as a 17-year-old
senior in a secular local community college, I have been shocked at the
differences between Christian education and secular. Secular education has no
moral bounds—the text books and required audios can flaunt image boarding on
pornography, conversations of the pleasures of homosexual fantasies, and sexual
“jokes” without bounds. Without the Bible, there is no standard to measure
one’s conduct or teaching by and almost anything goes.
During my years
being homeschooled and really learning to teach myself and study, I came to the
conviction of my textbooks: that God is involved in our world. God is the one
who has ordered world events for His purpose and the furtherance of the
Gospel—it is as plain as day if you study the true history. God’s hand is woven
throughout His creation in all the sciences and mankind should thank Him that
we have been given the privilege of being able to study and stand in awe of His
wonder as well as take dominion of the earth and create so many technological
instruments to more efficiently manage our labors. And lastly, but certainly
not least, the Bible is the perfect source of truth for
education, life management, understanding one’s relationship with God,
relationships, understanding, wisdom, truth, love, happiness, peace, joy,
contentment, business, and so much more! The Bible is the Source of Truth! May we live as the Puritan and Pilgrim
ancestors of our past by doing as they did: applying the Scriptures to every
aspect of our lives, government, and education.
Be careful what type of worldview and
education you are buying at a college. Is it wise to fund a humanistic
institution? Is it moral to fund the education of abortion advocates? What
about the indoctrination of evolutionism, feminism, socialism, and relativism?
