  • I must say it is quite impressive that she will get her degree after only one year. God has certainly given her an exceptional mind. However the key is on how she uses her mind for the greater good and the love of God. What doth it profit a man if he acquire all the knowledge in the world, is able to discourse profoundly on philosophy, law, or economics but loses his immortal soul? Everything comes back to this question: Are we heading for the abode of the just in Heaven or damnation?

    To acquire knowledge simply in order to get a job that pays magnificently well is not man's end. And unfortunately many people go through life thinking this way (I am not necessarily saying this lady is though). Everything must lead us towards God otherwise all of it is vain.
