In Genesis 11:6 god recognizes the value and danger of learning, when He came down from heaven as the people were building the tower of Babel. Our ability to think through issues and adapt our environment is a unique quality for mankind. Animals adapt to their environment, making changes in how they live based on what is going on around them. Mankind is the only created being, who learns and builds upon that knowledge to change their environment, to adapt to himself. That learning controls the environment to make it fit for man, rather than man simply adapting to his environment. God created us to think and be creative, and then has provided us with the initiative to learn and grow. This educational process is not something that is limited to our time at school, it is a process that we will continue through our lives and into eternity according to John 17:3. Today we have many modern conveniences and devices, that many of us who are older continue to attempt to learn about. The knowledge to build these technologies are all God given. There is no truth, that has not been designed and given by God. It is essential … READ MORE

It took me a long time in my education process to recognize the importance of the statement, “All truth is God’s truth.” Even in College, I struggled to appreciate the importance of subjects like Science, Writing, Spelling, English, Social Studies, to name a few. dMy focus was on knowing the Bible and what God said in the Scriptures. However, I learned over time and education, that everything that we learn, from the splitting of the atom, to the complexities of recipes, are all things that are contained in the realm of God’s truth. Romans 1:20 tells us that “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Seeing the consistency of the world is an important part of our understanding of who God is. It is essential for us to see that there are things that never change so that as we come to the Word of God, we can understand the consistency of God and the power of His truths. We can deny that there are absolutes, but the reality is that there are absolutes … READ MORE

When I was in college, I ran across 1 Corinthians 10:31 in my study, and asked myself, “What does it mean to “Glorify God?” this seemed so foreign to my thinking. . . . . How can I, a sinner, bring glory to my Lord? I spent time contemplating this thought, and as I read the scriptures, I learned that most characters in the Scripture were very similar to me, they were imperfect. I came to understand that what God wants from me is to be willing to do His Will. He wants me to live by my faith in the Son of God, who loves me and gave Himself for me. “Glorifying God” is not a mystical term that we achieve because of some magical experience. “Glorifying God” simply means, exalting Him in our life and actions. It means to give Him credit for the victories, and trusting Him in the defeats. It is turning to Him when I am weak, and remaining humble when I am strong. “Glorifying God” simply means to walk in the Spirit so that we do not fulfill the lust of the flesh. We are frail servants of our wonderful Lord, we live by … READ MORE
