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 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.
-
I would agree that that a believer is able through the power of the Holy Spirit to love wisdom as God created us in his likeness and image, therefore to love as God loves.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course? In what specific areas do you hope to grow as a Christian educator?
-
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.
-
I hope to gain a clearer understanding of my personal philosophy and learn how to better share that philosophy with others.
-
I hope to gain an understanding of how a Christian approaches education as “the tool by which society carries out its philosophical aims.” Other worldviews seem to have been successful in this pursuit. Christians should sharpen their ability to use this tool.
-
Why is it imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education?
-
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.
-
If Christians do not embrace a Christian philosophy of education, they will embrace *someone’s* philosophy of education–and the values and truth passed down probably will not align with our own. We do not want to be responsible for raising a generation “that knew not God.”
