What are some ways you can apply the concepts learned in this lesson in your classroom?

The way that she pointed out tolerance as the new cultural god was a very practical way to put it. I’ve struggled trying to verbalize exactly what she was saying. We can love people without having to be tolerant to all views on everything. It gives me a new way to communicate this idea to my students and to continue encouraging them to search for truth in the word.

I was particularly taken by the comment that some schools don’t do a good enough job of actually teaching the biblical text of the entire scripture. As a Bible teacher, that resonates with me. In my courses, we do not talk ABOUT scripture or things that are “biblical”, we are in the biblical text itself almost every day. And I do my best — over the course of the courses that I teach — to cover as much of the scripture as I can. This lecture has reinvigorated my passion for doing so.

We have to teach students that truth is important. We do not tolerate each other. With that said, we also need to teach our children that truth is not judgment. Truth is not harsh, but kind and loving. We need to demonstrate that in the classroom and be an example through how we correct and speak truth.

I would explain the importance of memorizing Scripture because the the Bible promises us that The Holy Spirit will bring these truths back to us as He guides through life.

I attempt to connect every lesson in some way to their identity in Christ. Who they are. How does God’s word speak to them and this lesson?
