Education is a never-ending process not a destination.

The First of three Keys to building healthy, successful lives for our children.

“Education” is rooted in the Latin language and is derived from the Latin word “educo” meaning, “I draw out of,” as if to dip a bucket into a well and to bring the water up to the top for use. Therefore education was intended to be a refining of the gifts and abilities of the individual as they learned how to live their lives in line with the principles that produce a higher quality of life.

What we know is that we as humans have and continue to develop beyond what we now know or perceive as our limits. In a real sense, real education is founded upon the belief that we can only get better by pushing the limits of our current knowledge and stretching ourselves beyond our current abilities.

Paul echoes this striving as he tells us that he Philippians that he has not apprehended, but that he continues to “press on toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Education like discipleship is not a destination it is a process.
