Topic: The Beginning of Wisdom
Key Verse: But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom . . . – 1 Corinthians 1:30
MESSAGE: I believe we ought to get all the education we can, but we dare not make it our god. John Dewey once defined education as the systematic, purposeful reconstruction of experience; but so much of modern education leaves out God. What we are actually doing is reconstructing our sins.
