Godly parents and educators ponder how they can practically help their child turn from being a foolish youth to becoming a wise lover of Christ (Proverbs 1:22-23).

Sadly, the beauty and unmatched benefit of biblical discipline has become so perverted by unbiblical and secular influence that not only is ...

In such an environment, education as personal development is lost. Academic capitalism is corrupting higher education, especially with ...
