What Does the Bible Say About Education?

Is God Finished With You Already?

II Kings 5



Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the Lord hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.  And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.  And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.  And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.  And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.  And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.

II Kings 8:1-6



He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.  Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?  And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

Luke 13:6-9

What is Your Reputation?

Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.  Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.

Daniel 5:9-12

Did Judas Iscariot Go to Hell?

Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.  And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.  Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?  And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.  And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.  Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.  And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.  And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?  And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.  The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

Matthew 26:14-24

The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

What Was Paul's Infirmity?

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.  For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Galatians 4:9-11



Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.  For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

I Timothy 4:1-5

What Does the Bible Say About Wine?

Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?  They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.  Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.  At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.  Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.  Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.  They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

Proverbs 23:29-35



It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.  Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.  Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

Proverbs 22:26-27

Are the Bible and Science Mutually Exclusive?

The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.  The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.  All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

Ecclesiastes 1:5-7


He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.  He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

Job 26:7-8



Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.  Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.  He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.  The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.  As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.

Job 28:1-5

It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

What Does the Bible Say About Gossip?

Contrary to popular opinion, it isn't always necessary to repeat everything you hear, everything you know, or anything you think you know.  Even if something is true doesn't mean it needs to be repeated.  Many things should never be said at all.

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love, but he that repeateth a matter separateth good friends.

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Proverbs 18:8

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.  As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.  The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Proverbs 26:20-22

In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

Proverbs 14:23

For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.  For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

II Corinthians 8:12-15

Proverbs 22:22-23

How Do We Deal With the Hardships in Our Lives?

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 11:7-8

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
II Corinthians 4:14-18

What Does the Bible Say About Our Enemies?

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

Proverbs 25:21

What Does the Bible Say About Animal Cruelty?

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Proverbs 12:10

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting, but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
Proverbs 12:27

Should a Christian be "Tolerant"?

Some people don't eat certain types of meats.  Some don't eat meat at all.  Some will eat anything that doesn't eat them first.  Who is right; who is wrong?  The same can be said of holidays: some celebrate Christmas, some celebrate it with limitations, some refuse to acknowledge it at all.  Again, who is right; who is not?

The Bible paints a clear picture of tolerance in these instances.

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.  For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.  Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

Romans 14:1-3 (KJV)

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

Romans 14:5 (KJV)

Although the Bible clearly condemns the eating of pork and other types of meat in the Old Testament, it seems to justify the eating of pork in the New Testament.

And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.  Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
Leviticus 11:7-8 (KJV)

And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, and saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.  And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.  But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.  And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.  This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

Acts 10:10-16 (KJV)

There are a couple of interesting things to note about this passage.  The first is that according to the context, this is an object lesson designed to teach Peter that he was not to avoid contact with the Gentiles.  The second thing to notice is that there is no implication that Peter actually ate any of the food.  

On the celebrating of holidays, the Jews were clearly commanded to celebrate and recognize specific holidays.  In the New Testament Christians are neither commanded nor forbidden to celebrate holidays.  Although many, if not most, of our holidays (Christmas, Easter, etc.) have pagan origins, the Bible is silent on forbidding us to celebrate them.  

Even meat sacrificed to false gods is not forbidden.

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.  If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

1 Corinthians 10:25-27 (KJV)

The word shambles here refers to a meat market.  The clear indication is that whether you buy the meat yourself and take it home to cook it, or you are invited to another's home to eat, you as a Christian are under no obligation to refrain from eating it.  

Again it says in Romans:

He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.  For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

Romans 14:6-7 (KJV)

We are each serving God to the best of our ability.  Your fellow Christians may not do everything exactly like you do, but that doesn't mean they are wrong.  We should not condemn them; they should not condemn us.  There are instances, though, where we should refrain from certain things (eating certain foods or celebrating certain holidays) if it is offensive to our brethren. 

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.  I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.  But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.  Let not then your good be evil spoken of: for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Romans 14:13-17

We are not to even put a stumbling block before the lost:

If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.But if any man say unto you, this is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

1 Corinthians 10:27-28 (KJV)

In these instances we should be tolerant of our brethren who don't believe exactly as we do in these areas.  If you want to eat meat; eat meat.  If you want to celebrate Christmas, Easter, etc.; celebrate them.  If you don't want to do these things then don't.  The key is we should all respect each others personal beliefs.  

Tolerance, however doesn't extend in all directions unrestrained.  There is clear indication in the Bible that sin (anything that runs counter to the righteousness laid forth in the Bible) should be condemned and rebuked.

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

Ephesians 5:11-12 (KJV)

Always remember, however, that the purpose of judgement isn't to assert your righteousness over others, but rather to help lead and guide them back to the truth.

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

Galatians 6:1 (KJV)

How Important is a Firm Foundation?

For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

Romans 11:16

How Should We Speak?

Does your conversation lift others up or cut them down? Whether you are talking to someone, or talking about them, your speech should always be seasoned with grace.







There is he that speaketh like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is healing.
Proverbs 12:18

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
Proverbs 12:25

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.  The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
Proverbs 15:1-2

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
Proverbs 15:4

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

Proverbs 15:7

A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
Proverbs 15:23

The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

Proverbs 15:26

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Proverbs16:24

An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.  A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

Proverbs 26:20-22

Contrary to popular opinion, it isn't always necessary to repeat everything you hear.  Even if something is true doesn't mean it needs to be repeated, or even said in the first place for that matter.

He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.  Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

Proverbs 17:27-28

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Proverbs 25:11

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
I Peter 3:10

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

What Does the Bible Say About Sex?

Note: All references are from the King James Version (A.V. 1611)  of the Bible.

Sex has been viewed by mankind in various lights throughout the course of history.  From the free range love of the sixties, to the hush hush attitude of the Elizabethans, these views have gone to the extreme on both sides.  Even today parents have a difficult time broaching the subject with their children.  Unbeknownst to many, the Bible is far from silent on this subject.  The truth is that virtually every aspect of sex is talked about in the Bible.  Not only are the reproductive organs of both male and female mentioned by name, but their very functions (sexual, digestive, and nourishment in the case of the female breasts) are discussed frequently within the pages of the Bible.  Of interest is the fact that the Bible is written in such a way that every verse dealing with this topic can be read in any crowd without causing any to become uncomfortable.  Following are a few of these aforementioned verses.  (This post is not yet completed.  It will be updated on a regular basis until it is finished.)
