Education is discipleship. How are we discipling our children? For many, the reformation doctrine of Sola Scriptura is an easy doctrine to say �Amen� to; however, adherence to this great Christian truth requires far more than verbal assent: If ye love me, keep my commandments (John 14: 15). The keeping of God�s commands requires a working knowledge of His word. Reformation of the heart and victorious Christian living only come with recognition of the consequences of our profession and conformity to the image of Christ through transformation and renewal of our minds.

In our modern day, many question the worth of serving God with their whole heart, and consequently we offer unto Him that which should be considered refuse. By our actions, even Christians suggest that submitting themselves to the whole counsel of God is an unprofitable exercise and not worthy of the necessary investment. Do you secretly question the equity of God? Do you fail to offer God your best and first fruits? Do you have fortitude in the midst of social, economic, and civil declension? The 5th century message of Malachi offers instruction for our modern challenges, along with a prescription for reformation and revival in every generation.
