Education
We believe that the work involved in carrying out the gospel commission is primarily a work of education. Jesus said, "Go therefore and teach . . . ." Education should not be viewed as the experience gained by going to an institution of "higher leaning" for a period of several years, and then when a person graduates they have "gained their education." Rather, from a Biblical view, education begins for a person before birth with the prenatal development, continues in a most significant period for the next three years, and never ends this side of eternity. Education should not be viewed as the accumulation of knowledge, or a repertoire of facts so much as the development of character and gaining an understanding of how to learn through the rest of life. We are told that "it takes much study to learn how to study."
