Useless Learning

"For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God, nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened." Romans 1:21-22

I have the opportunity where I live to hear people speak their mind. And so many things they say are so sad and wrong. Not just wrong in my eyes but in Gods. People really do understand that there is a creator and they use words like hallelujah, or thank God, or you,re blessed. But they don't really understand what they're saying. People spend a lot of time and money to get smarter and have the credentials to prove it. But the smarter they get the less truth they actually know. Considering what professors are teaching them as truth, which is a bunch of false truths. It is no wonder. My granddaughter just started college this last fall and I know the things she will face and I am so concerned and pray that her strong upbringing will stay strong. Just the curriculum of education now days is so distorted and even some teachers don't believe it but they are paid to teach it. So is it any wonder that college students who believed in God don't end up continuing to believe because they believe college professors are right. Staying strong with God takes work to keep the fire burning, even for a strong Christian. Reading the word of God, studying it, memorizing it, and putting it to use. Fellowship with other strong Christians. We are stronger together and God is for us so whoever is against us can't prevail against us. People who put their trust in anything but God will not have the strength they need to stand in the world today. So, do not trust in your education, your job, your friends, your money or your lovers. They may not even be on your side like only God can be. You can appreciate people and stand strong with them and support them. But remember to always seek God first and encourage them to do the same.
