Education Never Ends

In September, Christian education programs will be in full swing in most churches. Pastors, Christian education leaders and teachers are always delighted to see full classrooms of children learning about Christ, faith and the Christian way. Many parents make sure their kids get to Sunday School class, yet don't attend a class themselves.

Learning about Christ is a lifelong pursuit. It doesn't end when we grow up. If we are to love God with our minds as well as our hearts, our souls and our strength, we need to keep learning even into old age. We need to be well informed about our faith, our church and its beliefs so that we can express to unbelievers what Christianity is.

We love God with our minds when we know the Bible, when we under­stand what we believe, and when we're able to tell others the reason for the faith we embrace (cf. 1 Peter 3: 15).

In our time, when it is difficult to focus on God and spiritual matters in public schools, our churches and families have a great responsibility. Sunday School for both children and adults is of primary importance. Prayer, as well as discussion of social issues from a Christian point of view, needs to be practiced in the home and church. We must learn and teach about Christ.

"Learn from me," Jesus said. "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:29). Where shall we learn of Him or from Him, if not in our churches and homes?
