“Of great concern to any serious Christian today should be the way higher institutions of learning have essentially eclipsed the influence of the church in modern society. This is unfortunate because there is a vast difference between the nature of what these institutions teach and the wisdom taught in the Word of God. While the knowledge from academia may seem profound, it often leads people away from God and into perdition, both in this life and the one to come. In contrast, the wisdom of God is like a bubbling brook, consistently providing refreshment and life.” –
Dr. Mark H. Creech
