What does the lecturer mean when she says you are here to educate your students for eternity?
-
God created all human beings as eternal beings. As Christian educators, we are educating student for eternity. Each child is born with a soul. As Christian educators, we should teach children that they are a creation of God. We need to teach them a Biblical worldview, and how to defend that worldview.
-
I interpret this to mean that we are not just teaching them the material. They can get that in a public education. We should teach the material all the while also interweaving a Christian philosophy into our sessions. We need to teach them a Biblical worldview and then also how to defend that worldview as they go onto further education.
-
We are not just teaching our students the subject material, but our ultimate concern is for our students’ eternal souls!
-
Understanding the foundations of math and science are important, but not nearly as important as encouraging a life long love and desire to follow Christ to eternity.
-
Our perspective in all things needs to be in the light of eternity. So we need to teach our students to view all things through that lens as well.
