on depriving others of the benefit of their labors, but on
Christian service to the neighbor and the community. -

: God blesses such labor and through it provides the
ip necessities of life for the individual and his depend-

ents, the things that are good and beautiful, and
ce of good government. Above all, He supplies the

er vi. THE CHURCH AND EDUCATION

(1) The Great Commission The Church continues to heed Christ’s
os charge to go into all the world and to

make disciples of all men, teaching them to observe all things

whatsoever Christ has commanded.

The Church has the duty to provide for all its mem- .

bers throughout their lives the best possible instruc-

tion in the Holy Scriptures. The Holy Scriptures are
God’s verbally inspired Word, that is, God moved men to write
what He wanted recorded in the words which He wanted employed.
They alone constitute God’s inerrant Word to men. They alone are
“able to make” men “wise unto salvation through faith which is
in Christ Jesus,” 2 Timothy 3:15. They alone train men in holy
living. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profit-
able for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, throughly
furnished unto all good works,” 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

(3) Christ-Centered The Church places all the arts and sciences in the
Education service of God and therefore brings the Word of

-God to bear on education at all levels for all pro-

fessions and occupations. It insists that education for a God-
pleasing life must be Christ-centered. Therefore it considers in-
complete any program of education which omits as its paramount
consideration the existence and activity of the Triune God in the
world. The Church corrects such programs with its own program
