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 might have missed it in the lecture, but if the lecturer is talking about wisdom of God, then yes I agree. Which I think the lecturer was referring to. So then Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”. However, if we are generally talking about wisdom, wisdom of this world, then you do not have to believe in God to love wisdom. Some people just love to learn and learn about how to be wise about things that are not in the Bible or of God’s wisdom.

I agree. Since God is the creator of wisdom, we can only come to know true wisdom by being in relationship with the Creator. Wisdom is knowing and loving the Creator and knowledge comes from this relationship. I also believe their is a veil over peoples minds when they pursue wisdom with God. (Psalm 111:10, 2 Cor. 4:3-6)

I agree with this statement. God is the source of wisdom and is our creator. Without connecting all knowledge to Him, we would be missing a vital piece. As “smart” as we can be as a society, it is worthless unless we attribute that “smartness” to the Lord. We need to use any wisdom that we gain to glorify Him.

I do agree with this statement. As believers and educators if we are seeking the Lord in all ways this draws us closer to the heart of God, what His intentions are for educating the next generation, and the wisdom that He alone can depart to us. It is important to note that Godly wisdom is what we seek and is revealed to us through relationship with the Lord and through His Word. This wisdom from God is what we as educators need to apply when teaching children to grow academically, spiritually, and socially. If we love the Lord, and are filled with His love, then we can love our students in a way that reflects His loves to them. The Lord will work in us to discern how to love our students well and use us to impart wisdom to students that is relevant to their lives.

Yes, I agree! Wisdom comes from God, and we are to love all that God has provided. He should be the foundation on which all of the knowledge we have is to be used.
