The Goal of a Child's Education—Part 1

"When man was made perfect, and placed in a perfect world, where all things were in perfect order, the whole creation was then man's book, in which he was to read the nature and will of his great Creator. Every creature had the name of God so legibly engraven on it, that man might run and read it. He could not open his eyes, but he might see some image of God; but no where so fully and lively as in himself. It was, therefore, his work to study the whole volume of nature, but first and most to study himself.

The Goal of a Child's Education—Part 2

"And, therefore, I shall presume to tell you, by the way, that it is a grand error, and of dangerous consequence in Christian academies, (pardon the censure from one so unfit to pass it, seeing the necessity of the case commandeth it,) that they study the creature before the Redeemer, and set themselves to physics, and metaphysics, and mathematics, before they set themselves to theology; whereas, no man that hath not the vitals of theology, is capable of going beyond a fool in philosophy. Theology must lay the foundation, and lead the way of all our studies.

Our Father's Sure Embrace

Please watch this four-minute video of a panda bear interacting with her cub. It creates a precious portrait of our Heavenly Father's infinitely greater love for us and the indescribable tenderness of His embrace:

It also points to our utter dependence upon God and the sweet fellowship we can experience with our Father through Jesus Christ alone (John 14:6)!
