MoneyWalk 191 Good Education

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Higher levels of college education are being called the great prosperity equalizer for mankind. Everyone you hear is touting educational degrees as the pathway to success and fulfillment. Our politicians have gotten into the game as well as business leaders all claiming to be for education and touting it as the greatest investment our nation, state, and individuals could ever make. They want more and more money to be put toward higher education even though they have not yet shown they can balance budgets, spend revenues responsibly, or produce enough jobs to cover the majority of graduates who have racked up tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt.

Thousands of schools, universities, and new extremely high-priced degree mills are taking up an ever-increasing portion of people’s income each and every year to provide this education. It is not uncommon to see many people graduate with bachelors, masters, doctorates, and/or law degrees with tens of thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loan debt. Some incur massive debt, yet do not graduate. I’m an advocate of good education, but I’m not an advocate of education that warps people into ungodly mindsets and into debt-ridden conditions that work to destroy their future before it’s even started.

Many people are unaware that the United States legacy of education and institutions of higher learning started under the auspices of Christianity. Yet, in this day and time many of our leaders have moved away from God’s plan, perfect will, and commands for mankind by choosing humanistic educational thinking that is self-serving and destructive for individuals and nations. This is a shame that is leading us down a path of destruction.

The best education one can get is from the Word of God and it should be made the central focus of your life. Other education through schools, institutions, independent study, and experience should be sifted by the Word to ensure that only that which is good, useful, and glorifying to God is allowed to be put on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ as head of your life.

When you make education subservient to your relationship with Jesus Christ and vision He gives for your giftings, abilities, and skill in the marketplace (including the Church), then your education will truly be valuable while you are on earth and will also have great heavenly, eternal value. When necessary, He will lead you to obtain worthwhile education from mentors and/or schools in ways that will not leave you with huge student loan debt that puts you in bondage and pierces you with sorrows for many decades to come.

Having taken a different path than all the other people who are running to and clamoring for the worldly education process and the massive indebtedness it heaps upon them, you will instead gain the education you need at a cost well within your budget and you will come out on the other side well-rounded with all the tools, mindset, inner hope, and faith necessary to fulfill your God-given purpose.

The book at the link below provides principles and practical steps that help you use the Power To Get Wealth. By 1992, we had $135,000 of debt and a negative $35,000 net worth. Financial bondage and turmoil led me to seek principles and a process for employing good stewardship. As a result, we became constructively debt-free in 1998, mortgage free January 2004, millionaires in 2012, multi-millionaires shortly thereafter, and retired in 2018 in my mid-fifties from public servant jobs while giving abundantly to fund the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power is available to you!
