Why is what you believe about creation important to your role as a Christian educator?
-
It all starts with In the beginning… If something has a starting point, we must ask how “it” got there. So Genesis is clear that in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Then we have to understand that this purposeful design was to establish that everything on and in the earth has a beginning and end. God is the author and finisher of our faith but we are meant to be eternal beings who will one day be at home with our creator – to know him, commune with Him and understand or fully realize our uniqueness. It is important to teach that God created us in His very image, yet we all are very diverse in our outward appearance, culture, heritage. These intricacies couldn’t have just happened. We need students to understand their value and worth to God because often their value and worth will be measured against standards that are not in alignment with the truth of what scripture states.

Knowing that God created us in His own image makes each person invaluable. There is inherent worth in each student that comes through my doors as a human created in the image of God.
-
It is a major point of disagreement in the world and as Christians we have to believe what the word of God says.
-
I believe its always crucial to keep honesty a priority. I want to teach creation not just because my curriculum guides me to, but because I genuinely are telling them what I believe to be the truth about the world.
-
Because it entails about how the world is created, how man is created and how God is as a Creator of all things.
