This coming school year my wife will make the transition from public school teacher to Christian education. Ashley is extremely excited about the freedoms she will have to share her faith and lead her class in prayer each day, something that is absolutely forbidden in public schools. I came across this statement that was listed in the Harvard University student guidelines in 1636. This statement is nowhere to be found in today's Harvard student guidelines as you can imagine.
"Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life (John 17:3) and therefore to lay Christ in the bottom as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdom, let every one seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seek it of Him (Proverbs 2, 3). Every one shall so exercise himself in reading the Scriptures twice a day that he shall be ready to give such an account of his proficiency therein."
Yes...Harvard used to instruct their students to read the Scriptures twice a day.
I will be praying for my wife, the teachers, the staff, and all of the students at Metrolina Christian Academy next week as school begins.
