This blog is for those who wish to follow the Christian perspective along the life-long road of learning.

No matter how much we learn there is always more to learn. Although it is important what we learn it is even more important to know how translate it into something useful: its application.

How many times have you heard of a student when asked about what he learned in school (regardless of the topic or subject) respond with " oh...not much."
This is something we need to challenge. Many students are discouraged about what major to pick in college because they didn't learn how to apply their education in high school. If a student doesn't learn how to apply it in every day (life) situations his/her learning will most likely become stagnant.

There has been a big emphasis on "how" to learn, but where high schools hit short of the mark is answering the question "How do I use this?" or "Why should I?" Cary Schmidt rightly said: "What good is education if you don’t know how to use it and apply it?" (Cary Schmidt Discover Your Destiny (2008, 2^nd Ed.) pp. 111-112 )

So when you look back with what you have learned in life what good will it have done you? Will it have aided in advertising Christ alone or will have wasted your time and other people's time concerned with things that have no eternal value?
