  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.

  Since the very beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord, yes, only true believers can truly love wisdom. I agree with this statment.

  I agree with this as God gave us the wisdom in which to navigate life with. The Bible is the ultimate gift of wisdom and how to live according to his word and teach by his word.

  I totally agree that only a believer is able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love. We can be so many things, but that is different than True Wisdom. This wisdom comes from God. When we believe in Him, go to Him, and trust in Him that is True Wisdom.

  I agree. Only believers can have a true relationship with God. As believers we are called to know Him more and to fear Him. This isn’t a fear of scared trembling but a fear that is a display of respect and reverence for who God is. In order to truly have wisdom, we must first fear God.

  I agree. The wisdom of the world changes over time. The wisdom of the Lord is based on truth and so is not swayed by the opinions and feelings of people.

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

  Aside from gaining my ACSI credential, I would like to discover new ways to weave biblical integration throughout my classes daily.

  I’d like to know how to balance between a couple of opposing inclinations that I have in teaching. One tendency is compassion or patience for ones who struggle with coursework, and my realization that hard work is necessary….hard work is hard. Be compassionate, or push on?

  I delight in philosophy and it’s been a long minute since I’ve been forced to write out any of my own foundational beliefs. I hope to grow in knowledge, wisdom, and confidence. The best part of teaching is the doing. I look forward to acquiring skills I can pass on.

  I hope my love for Christian education will grow to new heights and that I will be encouraged to press on. I want to be challenged in my thinking, my planning and in my relationships with my students and their families.

  I would like to gain a deeper understanding of how to create an environment and compose lessons that allow my students to fully see and know God’s goodness and truths, passing them down to the next generation, in creative and engaging ways. I would like to also better understand how to weave a biblical worldview into every subject.

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

  If our worldview is not based on the bedrock of truth (the Word), we are teaching our students from a place of what culture in dictating. As we know, culture’s worldview changes with the wind. We would be setting them up for failure and confusion in the long run. As Christian educators, we must interweave God’s truths into every lesson in academics and social/emotional situations. Laying a solid, unchanging, true foundation for them to understand the world and grow academically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

  They go hand in hand. If you are a Christian, then your Christian philosophy sets your way of life and the standards that you live by,

  This is the foundation upon which we teach. Everyone will sift through this lens, so it is vitally important it is a from a Biblical worldview.

  I think it is important to have a Christian philosophy of education because we have the ability to teach the Bible in all aspects of our school day. No matter what subject area we are teaching or focusing on there is a way to incorporate the Bible into every lesson that we are teaching. I think also with our students sometimes life happens and we need to be able to stop teaching in that moment and meet them on a spiritual level to help navigate some of the situdations that life throws in their direction.

  It gives purpose and light to every lesson and how we interact with our students and colleagues in and out of the classroom. Without a Christian philosophy, we are merely giving them information, but losing the bedrock of Who created everything we are teaching them and how to view it through God’s lens.
