We seek to know God so that we might be moved to hope in God. The aim of Christian education is stated in Psalm 78:5†“7: "God established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children, that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children so that they should set their hope in God." The Bible does not present knowledge for its own sake, but rather for the kindling of faith and hope in God. As Romans 15:4 says, "Whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scripture we might have hope." Education is not an end in itself." --John Piper more at: http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/Sermons/ByScripture/14/309_Worship_Is_an_End_in_Itself/ “Christian education is not an end in itself, because knowing is not an end in itself.
