I agree because true wisdom and love of wisdom come from a deeper connection with the divine Creator
-
I would agree that spirit-filled believers led by the Holy Ghost will love as God created us to.
-
I agree. Only a Holy Spirit filled believer has the ability to truly love. Given the fact that the love God fills us with is the truest form of love. God Is love and He has created us in his image and likeness.
-
I strongly agree that only a Christian believer knows the true love of God and hence is able to love wisdom.
-
Yes, I agree that those that have God’s love within them, do love and appreciate wisdom as God created.

I hope that students may see Christ in me, that my learning environment may be an uplifting, safe faith based environment and that students don’t have to separate their faith with science.
-
I hope to gain a better understanding on how to deliver the word of God to my students and the ones around me.
-
I am looking to enhance my instruction as an educator through a deeper understanding of the Bible and how to help younger students delve into the true meaning behind common Biblical stories.
-
I hope to gain knowledge to help me integrate Christian Philosophy every day with my students and in my personal walk, that it will be very much a normal.
-
I hope to become more confident in applying my philosophy into my subject matter.

Yes! I truly believe that, as a Christian educator, I have not only the opportunity , but also the responsibility to faithfully transmit knowledge and values to the next generation. I pray that I am a good stewart of the time God has given me with my students (His children) to learn about Jesus, and His path to follow. As Rom. 12:2 reminds us to not be conformed to the world, but transformed by the renewing of the minds. My students are exposed to so much worldy bric-a-brac, this is our time to teach them critical thinking, and about Jesus, who said He is the way, the truth, and the life.
Dr. Black’s entire lecture resonnated with me. Her pointing out the Old Testament phrase “and there arose a generation that knew not God” can be seen as a warning to us of the critical role we play. I am truly looking forward to these 12 lessons, not to “check a box” for my professional development, but to benefit from the emphasis on the role of Scripture.

It gives us the ability to tie all subjects to the word of God, which is our way to navigate this world, and not by what the world itself dictates.
-
A Christian philosophy transcends a Bible class and can show up in social emotional lessons, playground disputes and daily routines. Having a Christian philosophy of education can and should change how you approach each and every subject and the way you teach your students.
-
Because it is our job to pass God’s truths to new generations, therefore we must have some plan to follow and share.
-
Without a Christian philosophy of education we are just an expensive school. It should keep us grounded on Christ.
