What does Dr. Black mean when she says the Christian school is important in raising a generation that is more than just competent cognitively?

Dr. Black emphasizes that Christian schools play a crucial role in raising a generation that is more than just intellectually capable. She points out that the primary goal of Christian education is not only to produce successful individuals in the world’s economy but also to empower students to make a meaningful impact in all areas of life, guided by their faith in Jesus Christ. This means that Christian schools focus on developing not only intellectual skills but also spiritual growth, character, and a sense of purpose. By doing so, Christian schools can nurture a generation of men and women who will make a difference in the world for God’s glory.

As much as we strive to develop our students’ cognitive abilities, we must also recognize the importance of nurturing their spiritual growth. Our aim is to raise well-rounded individuals who are not only intellectually capable but also grounded in the will of God.

Students must be trained or encouraged to see life beyond cognitive competency. They should always see their actions in the eyes of God’s word. They should be prepared to face and overcome criticism based on God’s word.

We need to be not just competent cognitively, but spiritually as well. We need to bring the next generation up knowing God and enrich their spirits.
