I agree. True wisdom begins with reverence for God. Without acknowledging the Creator, one cannot fully grasp the depth and purpose of the wisdom He instilled in creation and in us, limiting genuine love for it.
-
I agree because true wisdom comes from God. Those who do not know or love God do not love the things of God, including godly wisdom, and therefore lack it.
-
True believers fully understand the way God created us to love. So with that in mind, yes only believers are able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love. God created us with a mind to reason, and God’s word serves as the bedrock of wisdom. The more we engage in His word, the more wisdom we obtain and greater love for this wisdom grows.
-
I would agree with the lecturer. God is the solid rock we stand on. He is the foundation of wisdom.
-
I agree with her. A believer has been blessed with a completely different perspective and understanding.

I hope to gain a greater understanding of how to incorporate a Christian philosophy into every aspect of my teaching day. I want to more easily bring God in to each subject I teach, not just Bible.
-
I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the Bible and to be able to make more Biblical connections to the areas of study with my students. I have noticed that my students thrive on discussion and having a Biblical implications will be very valuable to add to class discussions.
-
I hope to gain a better understanding of how I can incorporate the Bible into every lesson I teach. I hope to become a better educator all the way around!
-
I hope that God can reveal to me areas for growth, encourage me in my strengths and reinvigorate my love of teaching in a Christian education setting.
-
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.

As a Christian educator, it is my goal to partner with family and church to help create a complete biblical worldview for my students. This can only be achieved if I understand and implement a Christian philosophy within the classroom
-
I think it is important because it provides a foundation for teaching and learning.
-
Having a Christian philosophy of education will help to ensure that we do not conform to ways of the world. It will also help to ensure that we are not simply teaching students how to one day become productive citizens of this world today, but to teach them the ways of the Word so that they may have eternal life.
-
It is imperative that Christian educators have a Christian Philosophy of education in order to help shape the minds of young learners. As Christian educators, we partner with families to build a solid foundation to prepare their child for the real world. We also are able to spread the good news of Jesus!
-
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.
