Millions of students are about to feel that familiar ache — summer is passing, another school year is beginning. SIgh.
Why DO we go to school? What MIGHT make it all worthwhile? Really?
In A Faith and Culture Devotional Dr. John Stott reminds us — our mind, and its training, is a powerful tool in the hands of God. The most powerful people in Scripture — such as Moses, Daniel and Paul — were highly educated. Even brilliant. Rooted in the ways of God, they also mastered the world’s teaching, and became wiser than their own teachers and leaders. In doing so, they changed the world.
Let Stott’s entry light a fire in our hearts and minds … and perhaps the heart and mind of a student in your life who would appreciate a hard copy of Stott’s words, of even a copy of A Faith and Culture Devotional, tucked in w/ a few other new supplies as they head back to classes and dorms.
