College Success And Beyond

 Because Christian school students generally perform at a higher level in the classroom than their public school counterparts, it only makes sense that their options upon graduation are more abundant.  Therefore, they are more likely to be better prepared to handle the rigors of higher education.  They have also received the spiritual foundation they need to excel in areas of ministry, whether they are career or volunteer-oriented.

 

In addition to these practical advantages, there is at least one intangible benefit.  Students who have been grounded in the truth of God’s

"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16).

Word day after day during their formative years – both at school and at home – are better-equipped to handle discrepant ideas upon graduation.  Whether in a secular university or in the work place, young adults with a solid biblical foundation are far less likely to fall victim to the subtle lies of our post-modern culture.

            The question remains however, how do you define success?  Does success equal an Ivy League education for your child, or a certain salary level, or even a prestigious title?  Then again, how does God measure success?  A healthy marriage?  An understanding of biblical truth?  These are important issues to pray about.
