True Education

The primary purpose of education should be to train the whole person for lifelong, obedient service, just as it was in Bible times (home was the center for education then).  God never changes.  he still has the same desire for us to know Him. 

our first goal must be to teach our children God's ways and His paths.  As we home educate, we cannot be so worried about fractions or spelling that we skip the one needful thing:  sitting at the feet learning from our Master, through Bible study and prayer.  Someone who strives to find God's will for his life will be equipped in the important traits, prepared for anything in life.

Knowing facts and scoring high on achievement tests is not a formula for success.  The education required by the state is not true education.

We should have the highest and most complete wisdom in Christ.  It begins when we humble ourselves before God in reverence and worship and are obedient t oHis commands.  We can attain wisdom by seeking it and following it.  If we keep God's laws, we will be rewarded with long life, health, possessions, respect, security, and self-control. (Proverbs 3:2-4)
