Education And Salvation

A woman came to see me, and told me a story which was classic for its simplicity and clarity: "I decided to give my daughter a good education. I made sacrifices to give her a good education. And now, she's in jail for drug-dealing." We agreed together, now looking back, that education is not all that guarantees a daughter's future. It is far more important to teach your child about the Lord -- to introduce her to the Lord -- when you sit at home, says the Bible, and when you walk along the road, and when you lie down and when you get up (Deuteronomy 11:19).
