Christian Learning Center Forums 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, God is the author of all good things. Widom is his, love is his, and the skies are his handy work too. If we “love wisdom” it is the expression of the seeds he has sown in us.

    I agree. We can be educated, book smart, and have high degrees, but that is different than wisdom. True wisdom comes from God. When we go to Him and His word for guidance, we will gain true wisdom.

    Wisdom IS Christ. So only a believer is one who truly loves Him and has His mind (1 Corinthians).

    I agree. The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. God is at the center. God gave us our minds in order to think and He is the foundation. God’s word is the bedrock of foundation. Only when God is at the center of our lives can we really love wisdom.

    I hope to gain not only a greater understanding of the Christian perspective, but be able to develop my own. In turn, obviously, I’d like to have it impact the classroom. Even more, to be able to teach and nurture other faculty and staff of the primacy of this area of Christian education.

    As a Christian Educator, I am always open to learning new things. I want all my students to love and know Jesus!

    Since I have 18 years of experience
    as a Christian who is a public educator, I hope to gain the ability to use
    scripture as an objective in each of the lessons I teach in the classroom and
    to learn how to infuse Biblical wisdom in a way that deepens the understanding
    for each student.

    As a public school educator, I convey
    my Christian values and beliefs through my actions. Still, my words remain constrained
    due to the current public education philosophy. Therefore, I hope to grow in lesson
    presentation as a Christian educator because of my desire to place God first.

    I hope to gain a better understanding and appreciation of Christ and my faith specifically as how this relates to my role as a Christian educator. I want to have greater confidence in my beliefs and philosophies so that they can play a greater role in my classroom.

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

    Because we have been called to be different. We show up to work to help our students build their foundation on truth. If we don’t know “why” we’re doing what we’re doing, then how can we build the right way?

    It is imperative because educators need to pass down the Biblical knowledge, values and truth to the next generation, so that generation can know God and make Him known to the world. When a generation comes up without knowing God, we see what we saw in the Old Testament, generations who didn’t know the Lord and departed from God which only brought them captive.

    One’s personal life philosophy and philosophy of education inform and direct the methodology and content used in the classroom. In order to teach at a Christian school, educators should work to create a curriculum that highlights Christ and His creation. Having a well-thought-out Christian philosophy of education will more clearly point students to Christ and safeguard against following cultural trends.

    Completely agree. God is all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present.
