Those of us who have had an opportunity to go to high school/college/university know that there are chore courses and elective courses!

Whereas each student has freedom to choose any elective, all students for reasons best known to the curriculum designers must take core courses no matter how tough they are!

In like manner, in real life, our greatest teacher-the man from Galilee, Jesus Christ of Nazareth- expects each one of us to enroll for both electives and core courses!

Below, are some topics/subjects that may be taken as electives in our daily interaction with others:

-Politics
-Social life
-Business
-Family issues/matters
-Helping others in finding work or going to college
-Entertainment
-Internet chat/correspondence
-Finding a life partner
-Many others like such

The core subjects, in my opinion, should include the following:

-Study of the word of God
-Witnessing
-Research on the last day events
-What the Bible says about the use of God’s money, marriage, divorce, death,day of rest and about the home of the saints.

What has been of great concern everywhere that I have been is that most people if not all love to take elective courses and spent all their time there at the expense of the core courses. It seems to me that the core courses herein have been ignored days without number!

Wait a minute! Must all take the core courses. Yes! And here is why! We are only strangers in this world. Today, we are, tomorrow we are gone. And therefore in so many words, God expects all of us to take core courses!

Well, I re-enrolled this morning! How about you!

Just a thought.
