The Kingdom of God is applicable to all of life. It has only been in recent times, with the secularization efforts of Greek learning models, has it been attempted to "leave God out of learning." In contrast, the Hebraic manner of education is to keep learning in relationship to God and practical in application. The enemy is not foolish and he knows if he can keep people busy with much learning, like Martha who kept busy with much working, then he has succeeded in distracting people from the One Thing that is most needed.
Why is it important for students to live and be a part of a Kingdom Education school? Because Kingdom living is God's desire for each and every child.
