Education is ultimately about life not vocation. Biblical Worldview impacts one’s whole life from now to eternity.

Some students will take what they learn in school with them for the rest of their life. We are not just preparing them for the college, we are attempting to prepare them for after college as well.

All people are eternal- we will live forever. When we educate students, it’s not just for them to graduate or get a job. Those things are steps along the way but not the end goal. The ultimate goal is to know God and glorify Him which will be done forever by Christians. Christian education has a much larger goal of education than secular education because it is literally never fully reached until we know God without sin.

While my content may be important the most important content is the truth that comes from God.

At the end of the day, it is a Christian’s purpose to bring glory to God. So as we educate students, we need to do so in a manner that strengthens them in this purpose. God has a unique role prepared for them to step into in order to further His kingdom. It is my job as a teacher to support and challenge students in a way that will prepare them to glorify God in whatever field of study/work they choose to follow.
