Schools at all levels issue KNOWLEDGE and information. We can never get enough knowledge. Our goal is not to be illiterate or in the dark about important facts and numbers.
Churches that are Bible believing, desire that all that enter their doors receive a Bible education. They will teach Chapter and verse. The Apostle Paul often said, "I would not have you ignorant." Many churches, encourage scripture memorizing and meditation.
Fantastic!
The important point to remember in regard to our school math and history lesson and Church scripture memorizing is the APPLICATION. What do you/I do with it? We are not to be hearers of the Word only but doers as well. Knowledge is useless if we do not apply it or acquire wisdom to worship God, and use it for others and eternity.
People in New Testament times knew the Old Testament well but crucified the one it speaks about. They know the Book but didn't know the author.
Knowledge and doing, will not earn an eternity spent with God. But while in our daily walk at work, home and play we need to; do/ live out, what we know. It is the sign of maturity that we walk with the balance of knowledge and application/wisdom. It was Jesus who taught the crowd a principle and said, "Go and do likewise."
Obviously if we walk without that balance, we stumble and disrupt not only ourselves but the lives of others!
Walk with balance!
