Thanks for your words, Andy. We agree: as with any other area of freedom in our lives, we are to exercise wisdom and discernment in how we think about choosing college or otherwise. Or as another blogger (see next post) puts it, “Should college be our default?”

My thoughts, if I may, on college education:
- Not having it is not necessarily unbiblical
- Having it is not necessarily biblical
- God can afford it if necessary
- God can prevent it if necessary
- Paying for it does not necessarily teach the value of money. Money has value only when it is used in accordance with God’s purposes.
- Not paying for it does not necessarily teach otherwise. God teaches through all different means.
- It does not necessarily take a college education to glorify God.

Thanks for the good post. If God called you to have a “large” family, who is to say otherwise?
