John Calvin, writing almost 500 years ago, describes today’s educational system very well, “To be so occupied in the investigation of the secrets of nature, as never to turn the eyes to its Author, is a most perverted study; and to enjoy everything in nature without acknowledging the Author of the benefit, is the basest ingratitude.”
The great problem in education today is that students, even Christian students, are not being taught that God is the source of all knowledge and truth, and that He must be acknowledged as the source in all our studies, be it in science, history, geography, medicine, engineering, art, music, economics etc. If we fail to acknowledge Him, we are guilty of gross ingratitude and perverted study. Let’s constantly remind ourselves and our children.
