The Next Generations Need People Who Know

For four years Ray worked on his newest curriculum, Exploring World Geography. It is a masterpiece. He is already thinking ahead to other projects, especially about a world geography for middle school students.

One day this week, he read a short passage to me out of a geography encyclopedia compiled by a well-respected scientific organization, published by a well-respected publisher. This isn’t a curriculum book but simply a reference book.  In its introduction, it talked about Earth being an “astonishing place.” It said that a mass “somehow” evolved into a planet. It said that Earth formed at just the right distance from the sun “by sheer luck.”

I’m not kidding. It really used the words “somehow” and “by sheer luck.”

Scientific? No.

I am thankful to know that “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Thank you for teaching your children the truth. I am grateful that children are growing up knowing the truth. The next generations need people who know the truth about where we came from and who know what God wants the people He placed inside His Creation to be about.

We humans often think we are so smart. The really smart ones look to the One Who created them, and they learn from Him.

The wicked will return to Sheol,
All the nations who forget God.
For the needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.
Arise, Lord, do not let mankind prevail;
Let the nations be judged before You.
Put them in fear, Lord;
Let the nations know that they are merely human. 
Psalm 9:17-20
