What are some ways you can apply the concepts learned in this lesson in your classroom?
-
The 1st procedure in all of my courses is to read a scripture, an application of the scripture, and prayer. I also try to find applicable verses that follow along with the theme, plot, or moral of the books that we read.
-
In the classroom, I could give quotes or make statements, some true, some false. I could ask my students to distinguish between the truths and lies. We could then discuss the reasons why they are true or false and find scripture to back it up. I could also have students act out ways to lovingly and truthfully respond to various circumstances in which God’s truth can be used to correct or instruct.
When I myself correct student’s behavior, I can make sure to use scripture or biblical principals to explain why the behavior needs corrected. -
I would love to apply the lessons of Proverbs about money management to my course. I would also want to remind the kids that they are children of God and saved through Jesus Christ. There are so many amazing lessons to be related to life from the Bible. If there is a question, there is an answer in Scripture.
-
Previously, I tried to incorporate Bible verses into selected lessons. Now, I am inspired to make a Biblical story, or chapter, or book the basis of an entire unit. Throughout the unit, connecting back to the story, deepening understanding, and helping the student make connections to other areas of their life.

I can specifically apply these concepts as it is described in 2 Timothy…. when life’s big questions arise, when reproof and correction are necessary in the classroom, and in instruction in righteousness. This doesn’t always mean students will like the instruction, but because I love them, I will refer to God’s truth, graciously telling them what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. I can exhibit joy no matter how difficult certain days might be, and when correction is needed, I can remember the example Christ leaves for us…. to provide correction lovingly, without being harsh or manipulative.
