  The lecturer states she “would contend that only a believer is able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain.

  I agree with her. A believer has been blessed with a completely different perspective and understanding.

  I agree with the lecturer. As she referenced the Bible stating that, “Wisdom is the beginning of knowledge.” We must believe and know God to have our minds transformed and not conformed to this world. Our philosophy matters and it is what we believe. We must believe in God and what he teaches us in His Word to love wisdom and to know that He created us to love.

  I appreciate how this lecture uses both Scripture and thought-provoking discussion to guide students in understanding God’s purpose in creation and human identity. It reinforces the biblical truth that we are made in God’s image, which is something I strive to instill in my own children and students each day.

  Yes, I would agree with that statement because without believing the scales remain over the eyes of the unbeliever.

  I absolutely agree. Not only does true love itself come from God, and therefore cannot truly exist apart from Him, but from Him is birthed all wisdom. An unbeliever cannot fully comprehend the wisdom that is granted us from the Holy Spirit, and they certainly cannot desire Godly, true wisdom in the way someone with the Spirit does. With no true purpose to grow in wisdom other than personal gain, an unbeliever has no reason to love it. Believers, however, desire and love wisdom for the purpose of becoming more like Christ and knowing the Father better.

  I am hoping to gain knowledge about integrating the Bible into everyday classroom activities. I believe that God has called me to be a teacher in a Christian atmosphere. I want to gather and use new tools for planting seeds in the minds of the children I teach.

  From this course, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of how to integrate a biblical worldview into every aspect of my teaching. Specifically, I want to grow in confidently articulating a Christian philosophy of education, strengthening my partnership with parents, and equipping students not just academically but spiritually, as they learn to see all of life through the lens of God’s truth.

  To be honest, I am not sure what to expect from this course! I know that I will walk away as a better educator, and better equipped to lead my students.

  I am obviously taking this course as a requirement for continuing to teach in a Christian school, but I hope to gain insight and wisdom from an experienced and godly woman as she offers these lectures and shares what it truly means to have a Christian philosophy of education and a true biblical worldview. I am grateful for all the faithful Christian educators who have sacrificed their lives in classrooms all over the world to pass on God’s Word and His love to the next generation. Through this course I hope to grow to be a more passionate educator, a faithful and dedicated student of the Bible, and a willing servant whose main goal is to reach young people for Christ, no matter what subject matter I teach. I was already encouraged to hear the brief example of our lecturer remembering not math lessons from math class, but the overall influence of a Christian role model. When I grow discouraged at the seeming lack of understanding or focus in my students, I can be encouraged that God can still reach them through my lifestyle and personal modeling of what it means to follow Christ.

  Why is it imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education?

  Christian educators must have a Christian philosophy of education because they are called for a purpose. Christian teachers need to be able to model how the scriptures are the foundation of a worldview. Children need to learn the Word and be able to apply it to their everyday lives. Christian teachers are teaching not just teaching skills for today, but for eternity.

  It’s imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education because our teaching must be rooted in God’s truth, not just academic standards. Without a biblical foundation, we risk teaching from a worldview that conflicts with Scripture; but with a Christian philosophy, we can intentionally shape students’ hearts and minds to know and love God, preparing them to live faithfully in every area of life.

  I believe it is important that we have a Christian philosophy of education for several reasons. For one, if we love the Lord and are seeking after Him, then it should be a natural overflow into our work and into our students. Additionally, I work at a Christian school so the expectation is that I am to apply a Christian philosophy of education into my students and make sure I am not “dropping the ball” as the lecturer stated.

  Since God is our Creator, everything we say and do is wrapped up in His world. He works in us and through us, and therefore every aspect of our lives as educators is touched by His hand. Whether we are giving a lecture in an English class (communicating through language gifted to us by God), interacting with students at lunch (forming a community and modeling a love for others), or administering discipline in the school office (training up a child in the way he or she should go), we are working to model godly behavior for the next generation. Having a Christian philosophy of education means to operate from a biblical worldview. It should not be one small facet of our job, but the very reason for what we do.
