"What We Should Be Doing" post.."If the vision doesn't start with agreeing with God's written Word for his creation then the vision will be corrupted. That's where we must start."
The current issue of "Faith for all Life" has a family on its cover and this title over them...
"The Most Important Business Done on Earth"
Here are some excerpts from a great column by Mark Rushdoony. "The Purpose of Education"
....Man’s rebellion does skew his entire understanding of his world. When men begin by believing Satan’s lie that they can “be as gods, knowing good and evil” (Gen. 3:5), they assume all matters are their proprogative: ethics, science, religion, and all else....
.....To man in rebellion against God, the world is a mass of data in need of interpretation. Man has long sought some idea by which he can interpret the world, some master principle he can apply to reality. But as a sinner, man tends to prefer some way of interpreting facts that serves his purpose.
...Now let us look at the scope of what the Word of God covers. The Bible gives us the beginning of the universe, its ultimate end, its moral law, and man’s access to it's Sovereign. In doing so it gives the direction of history, the basis of science in God’s ordering and creative act, and a thorough understanding of how man is to view the world and act in it, both in his calling and personal life. The Bible gives the very big, wide-angle view of all of human history and yet forces man to come face to face with his own personal life and actions down to the thoughts of his heart. It tells man where he falls into the big picture. ....
...We are called to submit ourselves, our thinking, our families, our callings, and our lives to all that God is. We submit to the God of Scripture, not the limited god we conceptualize. This is our calling as the people of God and the purpose of all education."
