"All of my Days"

Have you ever heard that if you have too much education, you might lose your faith from all the secularized facts learned in school?? I dont think I have. I have always been told just to get the good education to get a good job and be well off in life. It was almost like faith and education were two seperate things. The article "The Integration of Faith and Learning" by Robert Harris shows all the ways of why faith in schools is important.
Harris states "Faith is built by understanding, by studying the world God has made."
The more we understand the world, the stronger our faith will become and the better our witnessing to others will be.
"The more solidly rational and educated is the support for the faith, the stronger the faith will be and the more powerful the witness will be to an increasingly educated, skeptical, seeking, needy world."
I agree with Harris. I can see how our knowledge of the world can influence others and how our influence on others is very important. I think this article helps to strengthen our relationship with God because it teaches us that we have to learn about our world. We can integrate our understanding of the world we live in with our relationship with God. God made the world that we live in.
