Discussion Questions
-
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.
-
While non-believers can gain knowledge, I would tend to agree that only a believer is able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love. Jesus spoke in parables which were heard by both believers and non-believers; the wisdom that was gained from those parables was only really loved and understood by those who knew Him as Lord.
-
I am in the middle, as I believe that we must love God in order to have his wisdom. However, the way in which we become believers is something that is done different person by person.
-
I don’t think I agree. I do not believe that only believers are able to truly love God’s wisdom. believe God’s wisdom is open and it is up to us as individuals to receive it and follow.
-
I don’t think I agree, but I would have to ask more clarifying questions about what she means. I don’t typically agree with statements like this, they seem to be exclusionary for impact or soundbite. But I get that the point is that Christian educators have a special and powerful opportunity to steward when they share and impart wisdom to students.
-
I would agree that the only way to truly gain Godly wisdom is through our love and reverence for God.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course? In what specific areas do you hope to grow as a Christian educator?
-
I think for many years I have been a good example for my students with patience understanding and compassion.
I always had the love for Jesus in my heart to share with others, since the way my parents raised me in a very strong
faithful and Christian environments. With this course I would like to learn to improve even more and to have more clear understanding
on Christian philosophy -
To be honest, I have already taken this course, but not approved by ACSI. I know I can always grow and learn, and I already implement the scripture and Biblical worldview in every course. Now more than ever I believe what C.H. Spurgeon said, “Withdraw from a child the only divine rule of life, and the result will be almost lamentable. An education purely secular is the handmaiden of godless skeptics.”
-
What I would like to gain from this course is more about Christian school philosophy and what the guidelines are. I am coming from a public school teaching experience and am excited to finally have the freedom to speak, talk, and pray about our amazing God the creator of the universe.
-
I hope to gain more knowledge on Christian philosophy and how it can be applied to education. I want my classroom to be a well rounded course from a Christian perspective. I would like to grow in approaching every situation through the Christian lens.
-
I hope to recognize holes in my thinking and enhance my ability to insert Godly wisdom into my daily lessons.
-
Why is it imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education?
-
It is very important that Christian educators have strong biblical and Christian philosophy
to pass on new generation of students. Christian philosophy education is the base and the foundation
to guide students with the example of Christ life and the Bible. To help them to grow in the Glory of God
with love, hope and wisdom. -
All you have to do is listen to the news and one can see that because we have left God out of the equation, every aspect of our society is in turmoil, including the church.
-
Our human brain and knowledge is able to only go so far, but when you pull on the wisdom of the Almighty God, He will show you and tell you more. When you talk to God He will direct your path to answers that you are seeking. God is all knowing.
-
Christian philosophy is the foundation of what we do as Christian educators. We need to be solid in our philosophy so we are not leading our students in the wrong direction.
-
Because our purpose is to pass down knowledge, values and truth to the next generation and in turn help families fulfill their God-given appointments.
