Dr. MacArthur: "If your faith in Christ is genuine, it will show up when trouble comes. If your faith isn’t strong enough to answer trials, it’s no good. The only useful faith ... is the sort that can sustain you when everything goes wrong."

Q: Will a biblical liberal arts degree actually help my child get a job in today’s market?

Dr. Abner Chou answers:

“A specialized education is a great fit for specialized jobs, but those jobs are also a great fit to be automated. You can program a robot or computer to do technical work, and we already see it happening.

“A report from World Economic Forum projected that 5.1 million jobs could be lost over the next few years because of automation. Likewise, a study from Oxford found that 47% of jobs in the United States are at risk. A specialized education may get you a job quickly, but those jobs may also be ending (or changing) just as quickly.

“So, what do we do? Experts from Adobe to Bloomberg say it is simple. We need to be what computers are not: creative, good with people, and able to bring multiple disciplines together in determining a solution.

“The Christian liberal arts foster these skills. They train us to think through all of life and thereby approach problems comprehensively. Even more, they produce in us the character people want in the workforce. Christian liberal arts position us to be leaders in our vocations. They provide their own set of skills that specialized disciplines may not have, skills that make us resilient in a changing marketplace.”

In the early 1990s, TMU became the first school to offer a Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling (MABC) program. Now, TMU has become the first to offer two specialized emphases within that program: one in missions, and the other in mediation. Link in the comments.

Dr. MacArthur: "Do you pray that God would do certain things in your life and in the lives of others so that He might be glorified? We should, because Jesus says this is what prayer is for."
