| 0:00.0 | I was thinking all week about this particular twin gifts that I'll be talking about today. |
| 0:08.1 | And my mind harkened to the time when our kids were small and the challenges about finding good |
| 0:14.7 | schools for them. And I know some of you young moms and dads, it's always a challenge at finding the right school |
| 0:22.9 | for your children. I'm aware of those challenges, and I know now, even before you buy a house, |
| 0:29.1 | it tells you what school district or what school that your kids can go to, and it is of vital |
| 0:35.2 | importance. In fact, so many right here in this church who are out |
| 0:39.5 | of exasperation with the system, they opted for homeschooling, and that's definitely understandable. |
| 0:46.8 | The concern is justified because knowledge is important. The right knowledge is of vital importance, but what is extremely or of immense |
| 0:57.4 | importance is the ability to apply this right knowledge. In fact, I read of how from the beginning |
| 1:06.8 | of time till 1750. Just think about this. I don't know how many thousands of years are. From the beginning of time till 1750. Just think about this. I don't know how many thousands of years |

| 1:31.3 | But then between 1950 and 1960, a mere 10-year period, knowledge doubled again. And now |
| 1:38.5 | knowledge is doubling in less than 22 months, every 22 months. And that is why dictators and despots know the danger of |
| 1:48.8 | knowledge. Hitler believed that ignorance goes hand in hand with gullibility. And that is why Satan, |
| 1:56.4 | the father of lies, the prince of darkness, he knows, and that is why he works over time, in order |
| 2:04.6 | to keep God's people in ignorance from the word of God, which is the most important knowledge |
| 2:10.5 | of all. Now, I know some people confuse schooling with knowledge. We think because somebody has |
| 2:16.9 | string of degrees, that means they know something. |
| 2:19.5 | Some pride themselves in their scholarly pursuit, but they lack even what the world called |
| 2:24.6 | common sense knowledge. A friend of mine told me about one of those snobbish academician who |
| 2:30.7 | was happened to be crossing denial on a canoe. And this man was so proud of his |
