Godly Education for a Flourishing Nation 🌟

As millions of Filipino children prepare for another day of learning, we must ask: What kind of education will guide our youth toward God's purposes? Grounded in Proverbs 22:6, godly education goes beyond academics; it nurtures compassionate and responsible individuals who recognize God's sovereignty.

Despite a majority of clergy seeing parents and churches as positive influences, many view schools negatively in spiritual formation. With the institution of Republic Act 11476, there’s now an opportunity to integrate biblical principles into education, aligning with values that reflect Christ’s commandments.

By fostering relationships based on dignity and virtue, we can raise a generation that transforms our nation. Let’s rise up—parents, pastors, teachers, and church leaders—to reclaim education for God’s glory. Every child has the potential to spread the Gospel and transform communities. The future begins in our classrooms, built on the Rock of Ages! 🙏

FULL STORY:

As millions of Filipino children prepare for another day of learning, a profound question shapes our nation's destiny: What kind of education will truly prepare our youth to lead the Philippines toward God's purposes? The Biblical Foundation 'Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is...
