What use is a person’s theology if it doesn’t change his life? We can dot our I’s and cross our T’s. We can systematize our doctrine and know all of the latest evangelical buzz words – but if it’s not making us more like Christ then we are just playing church. The ultimate goal of Bible study is not that we might acquire more information but that our lives might be changed.

Knowledge alone does not make a person more spiritual. Knowledge puffs up and makes us proud. The application of truth is what changes lives. It’s the difference between being a hearer and a doer of the word. It’s what makes us men and women of character.

These are character qualities that need to be taught.

They’re certainly not taught in the public schools. They need to be taught in the home. And if you home educate your children, then you have a wonderful opportunity to invest in the character development of your sons and daughters.

But if you have a choice, teach your children meekness over mathematics. Teach them gratefulness over geometry. Teach them loyalty over languages.

Believe it or not, your children will probably make it through life without trigonometry and algebra; but they won’t live a successful life without Godly character.
