Why is it imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education?
-
We must be alining to God's will for his children and educating them on the truths based on moral values that have been established by God. Our foundation is not based on new understandings or new insights but rather based on truths given to us by God. If we put our foundation on things other than God's truth and will it will crumble. The standard, God's word and will is paramount.

For this, I too have turned to Proverb 22:6 in support of teaching from a Christian worldview/philosophy. There truly is no argument against the morality that is contained within, but it can be tainted if we forget from Whom this moral standard comes from. I also recall a verse that terrified me for years, it had me running from my call. James 3:1 tells us that we must ensure to teach truth at all times. We, as teachers, will be judged according to what we have passed on. Having a philosophy that centers and focuses on our Lord and Savior is the only what to ensure that what we pass on to future generations will not come back to haunt or condemn us. It is imperative to remain focused on Him that we keep ourselves pure and those for whom we are given temporary charge.

We cannot truly pass on information effectively without teaching it from a Christian perspective. Education should be based on the Word of God and the principles taught by God. Ivy
