Share one or two ways you embed biblical principles in your lessons. If you don’t already do so, describe how a teacher you know does it.

Since I teach literature, it is easy to embed principles of godly character into our characterization studies. The Fruits of the Spirit come up often in discussion and we can look at Scriptural examples readily to compare them to the character’s flaws, etc. Another concept we’ve discussed recently is the similarities of early Native American literature, particularly creation narratives, with Scripture. Interestingly, there are many similarities, but students need to be in the Word to see them clearly. Some literature lends itself readily to such discussions.

In Spanish IV, we read the Bible in Spanish every Monday. In Spanish 1, students are learning the fruit of the Spirit in Spanish and describing attributes of Christians. In Spanish IV, we discuss alienation and how to better love and welcome people who are different from us. In Spanish IV, we practice sharing the Gospel in Spanish.

The curriculum chosen by my school does a good job of pointing to biblical principles. During social studies in 2nd grade the book does a great job of outlining how biblical principles shape our community and even government. We as a course further discuss what this looks like for us individually in our lives.

This has been learning process for me last school year as I come from a public school setting where we were unable to embed biblical principles into our daily lessons. In History course we compare and contrast biblical principles to the other belief systems we discuss in course as we learn about ancient civilizations and cultures. One of the more interesting lessons was when we were learning about The Reformation. We looked at the various beliefs being encouraged by the pope and comparing those to scripture.

I use 1 Peter 3:15 to encourage students to deepen their understanding of God’s word and how it is a part of every aspect of the believer’s life. We are to be prepared to give a defense for the hope that is in us. (paraphrased)
