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. Children obtain the example from their elders around them. Teaching what God created us to love will help shape and guide them for the rest of their lives.

    I agree that wisdom is infinitely tied into God and the Christian faith. The Bible is clear in Proverbs that wisdom is a blessing and that those who shy away from it will not see God’s blessings. Instead, woe will come to them. As a Christian and a teacher, following God’s path of wisdom allows me to teach effectively, and as result be a minister of the Lord’s love.

    I agree. When it comes to following God, Jesus, and the Bible, a person is either all in or all out. There is no in between. To a non-believer, the wisdom of God is futile. To a believer, the wisdom of God is truth and what we ought to strive for.

    Agree! Philosophy is the love of wisdom. Psalm 111 makes it clear that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. I believe that only Christianity can adequately answer philosophies most profound questions. Without a reverence for God, there can be no true wisdom.

    As a Christian educator, I agree with the lecturer’s statement. True wisdom is intrinsically linked to a relationship with God, as Scripture teaches. Our faith allows us to appreciate wisdom intellectually and as a means to draw closer to our Creator. Loving wisdom, “as God created us to love,” implies a deep, passionate commitment to seeking truth and understanding. While non-believers may value knowledge, they cannot fully grasp wisdom in its God-intended form. The believer’s perspective on wisdom is holistic, encompassing intellectual, spiritual, and moral development. This view reflects the biblical understanding of wisdom as inseparable from faith and our relationship with God.

    I am hope filled about taking this course that I will continue to gain biblical tools and understanding so that I will deepen my communication abilities around the philosophy of Christian education so that I can be more clear and concise with my teaching in the classroom.

    Coming from a background of taking a dozen philosophy classes at University, I would truly love to gain knowledge of Christian Philosophy as it pertains to education!

    I am currently a substitute teacher for high schools in the public school system. I would like to be able to share the Word of God to the next generation. I am prohibited from doing this in the public schools. So this licensing is important to me. I do not have a specific thing that I am looking to get from this study.

    I hope to learn the Christian Philosophy of Education. I have never learned it before, so I am very curious who what the course will provide. I pray that God speaks to me throughout this course so that my philosophy of education will align with His Word and I can educate students accordingly.

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

    We must be totally and completely dedicated to our faith in Jesus Christ so that the Holy Spirit within us can guide our paths as we educate our students in education. Otherwise, we are no different than the rest of the world that will dismay and distract our students away from God’s truth about mankind and our need for a savior.

    Without approaching education with a christian philosophy, you are no more than a “teacher”. We have to stand out and guide the students by following the word of God because it is imperative that we create disciples that are comfortable going out into the world strong in their belief and ready to defend their faith.

    This is a mess up generation that we are currently dealing with. While working in the public school system I get a first hand experience of just how lost and messed up the youth is today. If you are not directly working with the youth today, then you may not realize just how bad things are. Their only hope is Jesus. How are you going to reach them and bring peace to their troubled world if you don’t have Jesus and His teachings to guide you alone?

    Without Christian Philosophy, what difference is a Christian Educator and a Non-christian educator. Consequently, it is important for Christian educators to have a philosophy that aligns with God’s Word.

    Christian educators need to have a Christian Philosophy of education because it’s important to equip students with knowledge of scripture and showing how relevant it is to daily life. It’s a valuable to plant seeds of faith to generate future disciples that will help show people how living in God’s Truth can result in an abundant life for God’s purpose.
