EDUCATION [And the penny]
All must have it.
Secular or sacred?
It is all spiritual….humanistic or biblical
Don’t compartmentalize your life….all should be spiritual
WHO’S THE BOSS??? [In God we trust]
Government?
They would like you to think that. Control the kids, you control the future.
Don’t want dogmaticism…accept everyone, everything….except the Bible.
Brainwashing….parents try hard but govt tries even harder and longer.
Render to govt their taxes etc but not your children. (Lk 20:25, Ps 127:3)
Church?
Not a bad choice, but not ultimately responsible.
It is responsible to edify spiritually and give a place for service.
Don’t just pawn it off on them.
Father!
Hear the instruction of thy father. (Pv 13:1, 1:8)
He is responsible for training you for your future. (Pv 22:6)
He needs to be active in your education now, and in helping you choose it for the future.
He can delegate the actual teaching to whoever he wants, but he is still responsible.
Must be very involved in the process….needs to be well informed.
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LEARN??? [A penny for your thoughts]
Most don’t
Oh how you’ve hated instruction. (Pv 5:13)
Public schools keep them out of society’s and the parent’s hair.
The students just want to have fun.
How many read the chapters that aren’t assigned…..
Do you have an appetite or are you nausiated.
You do?
You better learn to fear God then. (Pv 1:7)
Why do you want to? get smarter….get money…..get married
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO LEARN??? [Liberty]
Flesh says:
Computers, cars, sports, gadgets….
These aren’t necessarily bad, just be careful.
Federal says:
Learn what will make you fit in to the societal mold. (Jer 10:2)
Need to accept new thoughts, new ways, new world order. (Ro 16:19)
No bible. No God. No prayer. No constitution.
Father in heaven says:
The fear of the Lord. (Pv 1:7)
The Bible. (De 6:6,7 2Ti 3:15)
He doesn’t say much about social studies, liberal arts, science etc…but these are ok still.
Don’t be desiring to learn about anything more than you desire to learn about the Bible.
Are you actively daily educating yourself in the Bible?
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP??? [Your face instead of Lincoln’s]
A nobody
It’s a guarantee if you don’t keep getting trained, instructed, educated.
Who cares right now, I just want to have fun…ok nobody.
It’s a battle out there, very competetive, stepping on each others heads.
A somebody
Blue or white collar……either is ok.
Would you like a 50 million penny salary per year?
Study to shew yourself approved unto God first. (2Ti 2:15)
You are in charge of your destiny, better choose now or you’ll lose out.
WITH WHAT’S WRONG COLLEGE??? [A penny saved is a penny earned..be a penny pincher]
Nothing really It’s going to cost a lot of dough though
But you need one that will build you up not tear you down.
Christian colleges with good standards.You can find one with the area of study you desire.7thday or Mormon ok.
Local technical/vocational colleges are a great idea….safe at home, and save money.
Non-religious colleges may be prestigous but are a potential moral disaster for you.
If you’re going for Bible training, get it from your church…your pastor is responsible for this.
THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL ALREADY???
Smarter than your teachers? (Ps 119:99)
