Information and insight-not the same

This, we are told, is the information age. Yet God our creator calls on us to apply wisdom to life. This is beyond information, and means that information and insight are not the same. Hopefully, this blog can share helpful information, but also stir up some insight, so that its readers can benefit in a spiritual and life-affirming way.
During my career as a public school teacher, spiritual truths and their eternal implications were more or less off the table as to content. In that respect, I have been tempted to place an ad in the local paper apologizing to my thousands of students for failing to teach them the Christian faith, which is the curriculum that could change their character and eternal destiny. What American public education fails to teach is actually crucial

The hint is there in Psalm 90:12
'Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.'
Plus Proverbs 9:10 ' The fear of the LORD is the beginning of Wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.'
