1 Corinthians 1:30 (NIV)
30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who
has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and
redemption.
I believe we ought to get all the education we can, but we
dare not make it our god. John Dewey once defined education as the systematic,
purposeful reconstruction of experience; but so much of modern education leaves
out God. What we are actually doing is reconstructing our sins. We expand our sins,
enlarge them, multiply them. We need education, but not just for the mind and
the body; we also need education for the spirit. Man has a spirit, and in our
educational system today we need a spiritual emphasis. If we bring up a
generation that lacks the wisdom that God can give, they can turn into educated
savages and fools. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” and
education. Let’s make sure our rock is God.
Thought for today :
What / who educates me?
