The word study brings with it implications that most students find distasteful because that word is most often associated with being commanded to study by teachers and parents. Our rebel hearts don't like anyone telling us what to do or giving us a deadline and the accountability that forces our hand. Combine this with a potential lack of desire or laziness in the application of our minds upon any academic subject and the word study is viewed negatively. However, upon closer examination, we must confess that if the definition of study is as Webster's says, "A setting of the mind or thoughts upon a subject; hence,application of mind to books, arts, or science, or to any subject, for the purpose of acquiring knowledge." then I think we must agree that we love to study.

education
For many, this is not just a new year, but a new semester at school. It is the time where we struggle to get back into the regular routine of our schedule and school.
It's back to school time for students everywhere and students are starting to get back to busy schedules and lots of responsibilities so we talked what that means for a follower of Jesus with the students at Longview Heights Baptist Church.
Loving God with everything includes the mind. Students sometimes seem to approach education as a burden and compartmentalize it as if it has nothing to do with following Jesus. The truth of the matter is that the gospel has implications in all things.
