I wish I knew these principles when I was in school. The subjects would have meant so much more. I remember sitting in history wondering if God was still involved in the affairs of men and nations. Guess what? He is! There is meaning and purpose in academic subjects and knowing it makes all the difference. When my son struggles with math, I ask him why we study math. We discuss the reasons I've written about here. Sometimes he thinks we are getting off topic, because he just wants to finish his assignment. Then I remind him that the whole reason for studying is to know God. And you are probably right about the Sunday school thing. The church could fill in part of the gap, but first we have to learn it. Can you image? Sunday School lesson: Math 101. Can you hear the groans? May God help us to find and understand the foundations of the subjects for his glory! Sunniemom,

I think some of these applications would make great Sunday School lessons. And people say the Bible is not relevant to academics…because they ain’t never read it!
