Purpose

  • "Without a narrative, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no purpose. Without purpose schools are houses of detention, not attention."

    Neil Postman

  • By Dr. Christian Overman in Renewanation, December 5, 2017, reprinted from Worldview Matters

    I contend that not seeing this as the purpose for education is why so many pastors don't believe in Christian schools, why we lost the "culture war" in this country, and why so many young people are leaving the church. We lost the very meaning and purpose for living—and thus our purpose for learning.

"The dogmatism of science has become a new orthodoxy, disseminated by the Media and a State educational system with a thoroughness and subtlety far exceeding anything of the kind achieved by the Inquisition; to the point that to believe today in a miraculous happening like the Virgin Birth is to appear a kind of imbecile...."

Malcolm Muggeridge
