John Piper on College (Part 1)

College students: Ever get the question, “Why are you in college?” 

This is why.

“We’re in school to see a whole panorama of life that comes out in all manifestations of disciplines in the hope that all these beams of light refracted in human minds will lead us to the source of all things so that we know Him better.”

I feel like we should add that to the admissions catalog… wow.

Thanks for posting that. I have been thinking about that recently as I haven’t been enjoying my school experience or my working-so-hard-to-pay-for-school experience.
