Education

EDUCATION WILL ONLY TAKE YOU SO FAR     

         Knowledge and timber shouldn't be used until they are seasoned. -Oliver W. Holmes

1 Corinthians 13:11, When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

            There are certain desires that tend to fade away the older most of us get. That doesn’t mean that we can overcome sin and save ourselves. What it does mean is exactly what I said, some desires fade away with age and they don’t have the power over us as they use to.

            The only thing that gives true victory over sin is not a thing at all, it is the person Jesus Christ. It is by faith in His death, burial, and resurrection that we are set free! You can have a head knowledge of Him but if you don’t have saving faith, all that knowledge will not do you any good. Education, on the job training, and life experiences are good to have but they will only take you so far. Only getting saved will truly save your wretched soul from hell taking you all the way to Heaven!

GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH

The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones. -Beecher

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16

There are many people walking around today not thinking about tomorrow. They are living for today and have no interest in investing in the future. We see it in how they live their life of instant gratification. Never obtaining complete joy always going back to the slop pits this world offers!

Friend, Stop! Stop running from the thoughts of what tomorrow holds. Stop and think for a moment about what’s after this life. Think about your future! What if this is not all there is to life? What if I could have joy this world can never match—today and forever?

Do yourself a favor, GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH.  As you listen and learn about Jesus, it will not be long until the answers to these questions and more will become evident. It won’t be long before you are looking to Him to be your Saviour. It is then when you will find out what true joy and life is all about!
