Friends, I just found some exciting news about a new overview of US colleges. You might want to check this out:

Unlike U.S. News and World Report and similar guides, this one asks not what colleges can do for you, but what colleges are doing for the country. Are they just catering to the affluent? Are they improving the quality of their teaching, or ducking accountability for it? Are they trying to become more productive—and if so, why is average tuition rising faster than health care costs? Every year we lavish billions of tax dollars and other public benefits on institutions of higher learning. This guide asks: Are we getting the most for our money?

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable– if anything is excellent or praiseworthy– think about such things. (NIV)“We are tempted constantly to surf the net or flip through hundreds of TV channels.”Almost none of it is noble, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy.”Turn those things off.”The glory of God’s creation is all around us. Enjoy it.”People need our time and the hope of the Gospel. Spend time with them.”Focusing on Jesus Christ and these activities will help guard our hearts.”

We are tempted constantly to surf the net or flip through hundreds of TV channels. Almost none of it is noble, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy.

Turn those things off.

The glory of God’s creation is all around us. Enjoy it.

People need our time and the hope of the Gospel. Spend time with them.

Focusing on Jesus Christ and these activities will help guard our hearts.”

 

Oh, I so agree! The games we play! We cannot see. We do not know what we are doing.

We waste time. We waste our health. We waste opportunities.

We throw our lives away on folly.

Let’s get back to business!
