  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 if I were referring only to Biblical wisdom.

  I do think non-believers can appreciate wisdom, philosophy, and education without God. I’d even say, many use that as their god/self-sufficiency.

  However, back to Biblical wisdom, of course you can’t truly appreciate it without a love and understanding of God. You can’t truly love a masterpiece of art if half of the piece is missing—to understand all the intricacies every inch of the artwork must be there. As our love and understanding (wisdom) of Christ grows, our appreciation of all he does and creates grows.

  I agree, we are made in His image and are made for relationships and to have the ultimate relationship is to be in love with God. That love includes, studying His word, praying daily and following His example. A believer strives and is eager to do these things so that love is unbreakable.

  Yes, I do agree with the statement. I was reminded of Proverbs 1:7. It states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” As we receive God as our Lord and Savior, then we accept the knowledge of God. Therefore, we should gain a better understanding that without wisdom and instruction, we’re merely lost fools. Wisdom to me is the Holy Spirit; without it, we walk around without our friend, counselor, coach, intercessor, etc.

  I hope to gain a better understanding of living out my Philosophy in every aspect of my life. To incorporate it even more into my teaching so that it just flows naturally in every interaction I have with my students.

  I would like to know how I can explicitly integrate the Bible into my day-to-day teaching practices. This way, I can guide my students to have a biblical worldview of the subject that I am teaching, science.

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

  A philosophy is the foundation of any enterprise. Christian education cannot be defined by what it is not, nor by what it stands against. We must have a Christian philosophy which stands on the Word so we are defined by what we are, so it is clear who we are and what we do. That will keep us from wandering astray when faced with alternative ideas.

  Without a philosophy it is impossible to create an effective context for Christian Education. Christian Education must stand firmly on Christian wisdom. It is difficult to ensure that we do not conform to the world unless there is a strong philosophy of guiding principles.

  A Christian philosophy is needed for Christian education to exist, like was stated in our lecture. An educational philosophy is the basis for everything that occurs in your classroom, from how you interact with and treat your students, teach your students, what they learn, etc., so basing your philosophy off God’s word and teachings helps integrate God throughout the classroom, which helps students develop Biblical worldviews and knowledge from a Christian perspective.

  What we bring to the classroom impacts our students. If we do not have a Christian philosophy of education we are not keeping Christ in our classroom and our students are not learning our Him through us.

  As a christ believer and educator it is imperative that teachers have the philosophy of educator to embark upon the course. A Christian educator will be challenged throughout their career, but with accountable and an full armour of God on. Since, a teacher spends the majority of the day with these children, it is important to live out what the Bible says. As we train a child up in the lord, he will never depart. School is just not about the book work, but it is also about raising sound citizens that will impact the future and contriubute to society
