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 love this idea. I had never thought about wisdom being related to being a believer, but it certainly makes sense. The lecturer contends that if God created us to love, then only those who believe in God are able to love wisdom. I’m not sure I 100% agree with the statement, in that God created all of us, even the non-believers, and I know a lot of non-believers who love wisdom. But I certainly have an open mind on all of this and am looking forward to learning more.

    Yes I agree with the statement. Because the believer acknowledges the existence of God as the creator, as the one who holds wisdom and the ultimate source of the truth. The believer knows that God is love and that God’s wisdom and truth is founded on true love. Believers can trust God’s word and wisdom rather than their own understanding of the world. When believers acknowledge this they can truly love wisdom even when that wisdom may be challenging to them. To truly love wisdom means that at times, believers need to renounce to their own desires and sinful nature and obey God. To submit to the truth even when the entire world is questioning it or has deviated from it. Because loving wisdom is acknowledging the existence of God and his sovereignty over this world.

    I agree that only a believer is able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love. God is love and the only way anyone knows true love is through Him. A non believer may claim to love but does not understand the full meaning of the word.

    Yes. We are ever learning the love of God. To truly love, the way God intended, is to be ever learning in His word. The love that Christ has for us is unconditional.

    I agree that only a believer could love true wisdom because true wisdom comes from God. Someone who is not a believer would not typically love what is truly wise because they are not guided by the Spirit.

    I hope to gain a better understanding of the philosophy of Christian Education. I think it is important for us to understand the value and significance of Christian Education as educators, but also to understand the ‘why’ behind it.

    I hope to gain a new perspective on Christian education. I have been in the field for years now and it has been very comfortable. I hope to be challenged in this course and grown in defining my philosophy, as well as be convicted in its significance.

    I hope to gain knowledge on how to effectively incorporate the Bible and its lessons into every aspect of the classroom (no matter the subject area), and to show my students that God is present with them always and just because it is a language arts lesson or a science lesson or whatever, He is still there and God.

    I hope to take more from the Bible and use them directly in my lessons.

    It is imperative that us as Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education so that we are accountable for our actions as a teacher and co-worker. It is our job as teachers to make sure they we are feeding them the world and helping them to apply it in real life. To help train them up as the bible speaks of. As an educator I feel my job is to not only teach them their subjects, but most importantly to have a relationship with the Lord.

    I believe that we do need to have conviction, and we also need to train up the next generations, teaching them what it means to have a Christian philosophy of education. Through having personal convictions we can help share this with others and pass this on to encourage and raise up the future generation.

    It is imperative because Christians need to have a conviction of why we do what we do. Without that conviction, or philosophy, guiding our educational strategies, we will not be as effective in imparting truth to students.

    As Christian adults, we are given the responsibility to teach our children (Deuteronomy 6:6-7) the truth of who God is. That it is He who has created us for His glory and we need to have Jesus as our foundation in our lives. This means in every aspect of our lives. The verses in Deuteronomy do not say to only teach the children in the morning or during certain times of the day. From the time a child is young he or she needs to be taught who God is and what He has done for us. They need to be taught of His love and what the truth really is (Jesus) and not what the world is saying is “true”.

    It is imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education so that we may take each subject matter and use God’s Word as our foundational starting point. Integrating biblical truths in all subject areas helps individuals who are being taught understand that the world of knowledge is not just limited to each subject individually. They all flow together and the commonality is God. We cannot view Christian education as just teach all of the subjects and throw some Bible into the day. God’s Word is to be interwoven into all parts of the learning to understand that God’s truths are relevant in every part of knowledge.
