What are some ways you can apply the concepts learned in this lesson in your classroom?
-
I will use Scripture as the foundation to my classroom. It is God’s inerrant Word and it was Christ’s central part of His teaching. I need to fight against the “god with a small G” of the world. Students need to know the Truth of salvation and follow that with the Truth to live by.

I liked the illustrations of data collected on some “Christian” beliefs. God helps those that help themselves, you get what you give, etc. I would like to take a survey of my students in the beginning of the year and ask them what they think being a Christian is and some beliefs they may have about right and wrong. Then we can take their beliefs and look into God’s word to see if what they think is truth.
Although I touch on the story of Timothy, I think I would like to take time next year to dig a little deeper into his life with my students. I am also challenged to dig into some of the Minor prophets with my course. I want to talk to the curriculum coordinator and see if there is a clear scope and sequence of Biblical instruction from Primary-Middle School that covers every book of the Bible during a students time in our academy. I know what the grade below and above me is teaching, but do not know beyond that. Good challenge.

Shelley,
I appreciate what you have to share here. I think it would be great to read and analyze Scripture while discussing different beliefs Christians have.
Additionally, I was drawn in when listening about using all of Scripture. Our Bible curriculum is an OT survey, and I know we do not get through the entire OT. We discuss parts of the NT, too. I would love to better incorporate more parts of Scripture into my various courses each day.
Thanks for your input!

I teach Biblical Truths. I pray everyday that I have the wisdom to correction and instruct as needed as the Lord would have me do. The Bible is a crucial part of education. The holds all of God’s promises, Truths, instruction, examples of life following God, and example of life not following God. It shows His faithfulness and so much more. I love Proverbs, and I will look more closely at them to better equip myself for instructing and correcting my students.
