Why is what you believe about creation important to your role as a Christian educator?
-
The creation is the foundation that starts the Bible. Without it, it is hard to say what you believe. If the creation story is not believed, it sets the rest of the biblical worldview up to crumble. Knowing that God created the entire world as we know it establishes us to look at the world in an entirely new way that changes how we approach life, science, education, and our entire worldview.

As a Christian, the creation story found in Genesis chapter one is the beginning of our biblical worldview and answers the big questions we can ask such as how did we get here? Who made us? Who designed nature and our living world? How did sin enter the world? Without believing that God created the heavens and the earth and mankind, we cannot say that we are Christ’s followers.

Creation is important to me as a Christian educator because it is the foundation of God’s Word.
-
It is an issue of Scriptural authority and reliability. As we are integrating our Christian worldview into the curriculum, we cannot dismiss whole sections of the Bible as untrustworthy, then accept other sections as trustworthy, expecting our students not to do the same.

We must be anchored in God’s story to teach God’s story.
