Our First Battle

Theistic Centered Education. It has long been shifted from that to a Secular Humanistic to Post Modernistic in worldview which affected a lot of our educators and how and what they teach in the world of academe. With the idea that God can be known in studying Sciences, Mathematics, History and Languages, I left Indonesia and went back to Philippines, with my heart slowly forming a desire to take further studies in Christian Education major in Curriculum Development.

I believed that God is slowly claiming the area of education to be placed once more in the middle of the battleground of the gospel being preached. He is unmoved in His pursuit of the hearts of the men and women of our world. He knew how schools are being used by the enemy to lie to us through centuries of teaching about Sciences and other subjects where an Intelligent Creator is not taught, but proliferate an idea that some unknown energy had blasted some particles here and there and formed the cosmos as we know it.

The whole world bought that lie. And God is ready to restore the original knowledge that supported the Education that once to be centered on knowing God.

My heart seems so bent on that idea, that it eventually created a vision of God's movement through the academe.

This summer, God provided for my needs in schooling. What I was lacking a week ago (funds for tution fees and other expenses), God has provisions prepared, and came just in time.

The first battle that I had to face as I pursue this dream/vision was met by unbelief on my part. But God saved me from myself.. and from the lies of the enemy that tried to slowly kill me from the inside by killing the dream God gave me.

Praises to the God of Mercy and Grace, who despite my many shortcomings as I waited for His provisions, despite my sins unimaginable, He took me in His arms first and foremost, whispered that He loves me, then answered my prayer, and let me study and learn what I need to move towards that future He has prepared for me for His Glory and for the proclamation of the gospel of Christ's sacrifice and freedom for the whole human race.
