Education: Student Issues

There is without any doubt a battle raging for the hearts and minds of young people. The front line is in the places of education.

Over the last 40 years the knowledge of God and the practice of Christianity has progressively been removed from schools and colleges to be replaced with an atheistic and humanist curriculum. Young minds are being turned away from God and Biblical values are rejected. Yet the Bible  prophesies that in the last days there will be a spiritual awakening among young people (Joel 2). 

A Key Scripture

“'Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”

Proverbs 22:6
