The ninth and last principle in Glen Shultz's book on Christian education living beyond the here and now:
"The education of children and youth must have a view of the future that includes the eternal perspective."
We live in a moment-to-moment society with drive-through access to just about everything - fast food, instant messages, on-demand television, etc. In that culture, it is difficult for young people (and us old folks, too) to have an eternal perspective and resist the urge to live for the moment. But eternity is our future, and our lives in the present are preparation for that future. Education that prepares students for their earthly futures but ignores eternity is inadequate.
