Hello The Cow, Welcome to the Forum! There is nothing in scripture that would tell us directly that God values a formal education. Here's what he does value: "But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Sam. 16:7 NASB) "Thus says the LORD, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD" (Jer. 9:23-24 NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Maybe I should have rephrased it differently. Does a formal education hold value in God's eyes in terms for everyone that's saved? I completely agree with you about how he uses education to convey his Word, but is it actually needed to serve effectively? I understand that if you want to serve God through a certain skill like engineering, you need an education in engineering. But suppose someone has no skill, only a deep love for Christ. Is any kind of education required of him to serve his Lord? | ||||||

The Cow, Greetings and welcome to the forum.With the ecception of Paul and Luke the others were blue collar every day working types like most of us. Having a formal education,how ever much does'nt hurt though. May I refer you to Jeremiah 29:11-13 and 2 Timothy 2:15 one can and will do well.To take these scriptures to heart. God has endowed us all with some kind of talent and calls all of us to use those talents in service to Him and His people. In Him, lionheart |
