Discussion Questions
-
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 because true wisdom and love of wisdom come from a deeper connection with the divine Creator
-
I would agree that spirit-filled believers led by the Holy Ghost will love as God created us to.
-
I agree. Only a Holy Spirit filled believer has the ability to truly love. Given the fact that the love God fills us with is the truest form of love. God Is love and He has created us in his image and likeness.
-
I strongly agree that only a Christian believer knows the true love of God and hence is able to love wisdom.
-
Yes, I agree that those that have God’s love within them, do love and appreciate wisdom as God created.

What do you hope to gain from this course? In what specific areas do you hope to grow as a Christian educator?

I am looking to enhance my instruction as an educator through a deeper understanding of the Bible and how to help younger students delve into the true meaning behind common Biblical stories.
-
I hope to gain knowledge to help me integrate Christian Philosophy every day with my students and in my personal walk, that it will be very much a normal.
-
I hope to become more confident in applying my philosophy into my subject matter.
-
I hope to gain knowledge about how to integrate a Christian view into my education philosophy.
-
I hope to gain a better understanding of Christian philosophy of education and to see how my philosophy can improve.
-
Why is it imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education?
-
Because it is our job to pass God’s truths to new generations, therefore we must have some plan to follow and share.
-
Without a Christian philosophy of education we are just an expensive school. It should keep us grounded on Christ.
-
Christian educators should have a Christian philosophy because it is what sets us apart from regular educators. We have this opportunity to tie God’s word into everything we teach our students.
-
Christian educators should have a Christian philosophy based on God and the Bible. If it’s not based on it then it is based on the world.
-
A Christian philosophy is important because without it we could not teach it to others. Understanding what you believe and why you believe it is essential in sharing the gospel with others. Mark 16:15 tells us to “go out and share the gospel…” that is our duty as Christians and our responsibility to bring others into the fold.
