Academia

I've been observing this past semester how our education system in America is absent of some very important facets to life, that is wisdom and understanding. We are taught knowledge and analytical thought which is important, but is not the end all that seems to be portrayed in school. It's no wonder that a high percentage of college students who were once Christians are not followers anymore or struggle with believing in God. You can't analyze faith. Faith is believing in what is not seen and with out it you can't please God as scripture says. You can't even began or have relationship with Him with out first stepping out on faith. Wisdom and understanding come from God and is so needed in our relationship with God and in life, but is cut off by our education system. This is very frustrating for me to watch in school, because is see students putting there "faith" toward the professors, resulting in becoming conditioned toward knowledge, as the only way of living. Some students don't know what they believe but will be taught to believe reason not faith which is a tragedy.
Looking at the beginning, didn't the serpent tempt Adam and Eve with knowledge! Hum! I believe our education system is subtly influence by the enemy. The serpent was declared as crafty! Although I'm not writing to bash the system but as a servant and ambassador of Christ I feel the need to make aware the issue at hand at least to my friends and if God wills address the system its self. A thought I had recently is that Church needs to bombard the education system and begin to impart wisdom to there students. Paul was very educated but considered all he learned as rubbish compared to knowing God and the wisdom which comes from Him. Yet the Lord used Paul's knowledge to debate the philosophers of his day. So in stating that knowledge through education is important but is not the end all. But a means to influence the world in a positive light. Ref. Galatians 2:20, Hebrews 11:6.
