  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.

  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.

  I need a reset. I need to slow down and evaluate where I want to grow with my students. Do I want to just be another face or do I want to be someone who helped shape them at this point in their young life? I don’t want to leave an impression, I want to make an Impact that reflects the love of Jesus.

  I’ve been in education overall for about 24 years, and this is the first time I’ve gone through a course on a Christian Philosophy of Education. I’m interested to learn more about this and hear practical daily steps to better include Scripture…etc. into my classroom.

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

  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.

  As I’ve heard it said, ‘we all worship something.’ In the same way, we all inherently have a philosophy even if we haven’t thought it through. Much of what I see is based on social media more than Scripture as I interact with this next generation. If we haven’t thought this area of our lives through, then we are building our education on shifting sand; being tossed by the waves of social movements. Overtime, I think we morph into nothing more than a worldly form of Christianity.

  God has called us to be Christian educators. We have to spread God’s word to our students.

  Christian educators must have a
  Christian philosophy of education because the primary purpose of a Christian
  educator is to pass on Biblical teachings. In addition to the Bible teachings, a
  Christian educator must model the application of the Biblical wisdom acquired
  through the Bible. Being a Christian educator and role model creates a God-centered
  classroom environment. Also, demonstrating a Christian philosophy of education
  reminds students that God’s wisdom will apply in all situations and all environments.
