“Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.”

― G.K. Chesterton

Those who do not know any better often assume that those in the know are their betters. A Christian education dispels that misunderstanding. The myth of the elites evaporates under the heat lamp of God's Word. 

1 Corinthians 1:19-31

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Stupidity is not ignorance, it is arrogance.

Stupidity is not a matter of information, but of obedience.

The stupid person is not in the dark because they don't know what to do, they are in the dark because, knowing what to do, they do not do it.

Secular education is a boot camp of disobedience. The more studious you are, the stupider you are.
