Being smart never hurt anybody. In fact, I think most parents would want their children to do the best that they can in school. We have to live on this earth until the Lord comes back, and I think it would be best to not have a world of uneducated folks walking around performing operations and fixing bridges, am I right? But don’t neglect the education that is most important to you beyond the 70 or 80 years that God has given us on this earth, according to Psalm 90:10. Ephesians 6:11 tells us to “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” In short, this and the following verses tells us that in order to be a strong and well-educated follower of Christ we need to study and build up our faith so that when we are out in the world interacting with others that we can both fight the devil’s attacks and defend our faith to those who may not know the Lord. Think of it this way: you wouldn’t trust a lawyer who doesn’t know the law. You wouldn’t trust a doctor in the operating room who doesn’t know the human body. You wouldn’t fly on an airplane built by someone who never studied aviation. So why would a lost person listen to someone who doesn’t know the Word of God? Oh me!
