Practica Prophetica

The purpose of education, from a Christian standpoint, is to restore man into God’s image, to make him a part of the church militant, fighting on God’s side in the great controversy, and to prepare him for a life in Christ’s eternal kingdom.

These aims are much higher than the aim usually sought by education in the schools of the world. The Bible method of education involves:

• Training faculties and developing talents only for the use of the Master’s service; and not for worldly profit and glory;
• Self-control in the highest sense: every impulse held in abeyance to the higher purpose;
• Making decisions based on honesty, justice, fairness, and mercy, even in the smallest things, where no eye can see, but that of the Lord; and
• Living for the main purpose of making God’s character known, and exposing the lies of the enemy regarding the Creator.

It was for these purposes that A. T. Jones advocated when he wrote and taught on education. He strove to open up to the church’s eyes a much higher and more lofty vision of the Lord’s purpose for mankind. 293p
