Is the Education Biblical?


Is the education Biblical, God-honoring, and most importantly grounded in Truth?
 
 
         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?
