Is there any good reason that we should study history? Do documents like The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution hold any significance for us today? They most certainly do! Number one, God tells us in the Bible to “Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations…” (Deuteronomy 32:7) He wants us to understand that history is “His-Story”. What He taught a previous generation He wants us to bring into our generation. That with which satan enslaved a previous generation, God wants us to get free of. But if we don’t know history, how can we keep the good and remove the bad? Since all of us start life in this world with a sin-root in our thinking (Romans 5:12), we will tend to move toward satan’s enslavement in our society unless we know what God taught previous generations. This is why God taught the Jews that their education system must be the channel through which the parents teach their children His ways. This is what President Woodrow Wilson reminded us when he stated:
“A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do….”
History is for our instruction; let us not be so arrogant as to dismiss it as unimportant. Our Declaration of Independence listed 27 reasons the King of England had given us to declare our independence from his rule.

A principle in one of our schools in East Kentucky insists that the students who come to his school be given breakfast before they start their day, even if they have to take it with them to class. His reasoning: So many children come from homes that are out of order, they may not have eaten since yesterday when they were at school. Of course this is nothing new. We’ve been feeding children breakfast for many years now. But we didn’t do this when I was a child. Our homes still had enough of the holdover of Christian order to them that most parents accepted their God-given responsibility of feeding their children before school.
