I'm having to read back and catch up.<br /><br />I remember when we first began homeschooling, and the Summer leading up to our bringing Anna home from school, the Lord set two particular verses in front of me that really meant alot to me in my decision making. I will show their application to "the mind."<br /><br />The first, Galatians 6:7-8, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life."<br />Whatever we sow into our lives whether it be education, sports, hobbies, other interests - that's what we reap. If we sow to our minds the Word of God, we are transformed. If we sow to (or feed) our Spirit, then it is that which grows.<br /><br />The other I will share on the next post, because it can refer to "idols" in my life as well...<br />LoriLori McGuirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427264202347983112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645487418307022998.post-8428488794679554552010-03-22T12:07:05.777-05:002010-03-22T12:07:05.777-05:00Absolutely!

Knowledge to make oneself rich or puffed up is useless but knowledge to make disciples is where it is at!<br /><br />Thanks Christie!Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733536889214943597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645487418307022998.post-85358487995342057472010-03-21T12:56:05.138-05:002010-03-21T12:56:05.138-05:002 Timothy 2:15 tells us, "Study to show thyse...2 Timothy 2:15 tells us, "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (I don't use KJV, but it used the word "study")<br /><br />So, we are to study in order to gain knowledge of God. But, not only for head knowledge but to really "know" (as my husband would say, "Gnosco" in the greek, meaning to intimately know.) To "know" so that we can teach others...<br /><br />I had every intention of going back to school to finish my bachelor's degree. Until God placed the call of motherhood on my heart. From that point on, the knowledge I felt that I needed to obtain a job, was no longer "important". Now, that knowledge of God's word, preparing to teach my future children, is what is most important to me.<br /><br />I hope that made sense ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955682726148579441noreply@blogger.com
