Education is a Religious Activity

Education, by its very nature is a religious activity for learning will never be complete, never be correctly balanced, without a spiritually-sound foundation, motivation, and goal.  Man is a creature, made by the express power of a personal God.  No matter how one tries to turn off the flow of God’s love, or even of His revelatory truth, there are things man can never change.  Certainly there are things Christians know so why is it that they are just as bad as their pagan neighbors in treating education as something entirely secular?  How can it be that believers talk about the importance of a “fine education” and then consign their kids to places spirituality is completely absent?  It’s a foolish act of capitulation to the world, acting as if this separation of church and state means a separation of education and truth.  Apparently we Christians value getting along with the culture, and getting a good job far above getting a good education.  How sad leaving God out of education, even bringing Him in for an occasional guest lecturer?  That’s an educational philosophy that comes from somewhere south of heaven, far, far south.
