“No matter how advanced its progress, any generation that neglects its spiritual and moral  life is going to disintegrate,” says Billy Graham.

We are certainly not neglecting the education of the mind in our generation. We are making progress all the time. Are there already babies who can work iPhones?

But we are neglecting the moral and spiritual education for sure.

MORAL EDUCATION:

Here we are talking about our behaviour. What is good behaviour? What is bad behaviour? What is right behaviour? What is wrong behaviour? I remember what was written on my school reports: “Behaviour: very good.”  Moral education is relating to the distinction.

SPIRITUAL EDUCATION:

We have physical, material needs. But we have also spiritual needs. Spiritual education relates to our belief. The Lord Jesus Christ says that we do not live on bread alone. He says also that we live on the Bible. The Lord says also: “‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'” (John 14:6)

President Theodore Roosevelt said:

“WHEN YOU EDUCATE A MAN IN MIND AND NOT ON MORALS, YOU EDUCATE A MENACE TO SOCIETY.”

Are we disintegrating?
