Meaningless Talk

As people of faith, many of us look for a silver lining around the dark cloud of COVID-19. I see such a silver lining around the educational system. From local to higher education, most teachers and professors have a liberal bent and they push their own agenda. It occurs to me that the recent forced virtual teaching will severely impact the teacher’s ability to indoctrinate students with a liberal agenda. Paul said, “As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God’s work—which is by faith. The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm” (1Tim 1:3-7 NIV).
