Maybe the question should be “who is responsible for introducing my child to Christianity?” or “should my child’s education be done in a public, private or home-based system?” There is no shortage of opinions on this topic, some very strongly held and endlessly and emotionally debated. As we begin to search for a biblical perspective, we come to the definitive Old Testament passage on educating children found in Deuteronomy 6:5-8: "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
According to the Bible; whoever spares the rod hater their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline Proverbs 13:24("Bible Gateway", n.d.).. The Bible also states that we should train up a child in the way they should do: when he is old he will not depart from it Proverbs 22:16 ("Bible Gateway", n.d.).. Ethically I do think that I make the right decisions regarding my children; however, since studying ethics, I do think that there was better way to handle the situation when being confronted about how I raise my children. Acting in an ethical manner is very important to the person that we become, the ethical theory that I seem to follow more often than not
ANALYTICAL ESSAY Access the value of a Christian Education Christian Education is the teaching of the value of GOD. Some speak of it as being a Ministry, and its support and under grids all other Ministry. According to the (Class Home school), the purpose of Christian Education, is not primarily to meet human needs or develop human potential , but to glorify and enjoy Him, to honor and promote the development of his Kingdom. I think in today’s society, some of the values of the Christian Education had been relaxed over the years to accommodate the diversity of students now enrolling in the Christian Education School. Educating yourself in the knowledge and the Fear of GOD is a biblical mandate.
this conditioning may be extreme but you can think of it in a way that relates to our society. Some people are born and raised in churches and grow up already established in a set of beliefs that them are going to follow unless they are proven wrong. A girl who grew up with a single mom is noting going to know how a real family works until she is shown something that is different. They are really made to be happy with what they are destined to be in life, just like in the World State. "All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny."
Therefore, as a Christian teacher, I need to live and teach by the biblical truth that we have been saved by Christ’s redeeming sacrifice. In the book Teaching Redeptively: Brining Grace and Truth into Your Classroom by Donovan Graham, Graham breaks down such truth in three parts-- Beginning Considerations, Biblical Beliefs that are Foundational for Redemptive Teaching, and Redemptive Teaching at Work: Building on Norms and Teaching with Grace. Beginning Considerations Chapter one introduces us to life at Alpha Christian School. This school is a great school being that it’s bible-based, standardized high grades, and good behavior. Yet, after graduation, students’ life knowledge isn’t concrete.
The Holy Spirit is important in causing the change and the Word of God is the source of helping the client to become Christ -like. According to Adams (1986), this change must be toward God and must be “from the heart outward” (p. 7). If not, then the change is just superficial and it will eventually lead the client further astray. The very backbone of his counseling is 2 Timothy 3:16, which states: ," But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work"(NIV, 2010).
Your my mother instruct me”(Maher). If you were brought up in a religious family then the chances are that you were taught to pray as soon as you could talk. It is instilled in us as a child to believe in God. Families, friends and even in schools teaches to believe in God. So naturally, you will have some kind of faith in God.
I was raise with a few basic codes: • Believe in God • Family comes first • Always try to do your best • Always speak from the heart I believe that my parents taught me a basic code of conduct, which has a lot to do with respect and honor. These are old values that are not taught in the home any more, but are expected to be there in every other person. You are not born with these basic beliefs, they are taught. Like a mother’s love it is unconditional and always there, and so are these values. By believing in God you are placing trust into something and/or someone to come out of any situation on top, which in turn you would want yourself and your team members doing their best on the task at hand, so you all can go home at the end of the day to your families.
In “A Narrative of the Captivity...”, Mary Rowlandson uses the literary device of allusion to present the philosophy of God has a plan for everyone, as long as you keep your faith. Rowlandsons’ philosophical tenant is based on the Puritan belief that you should always trust in god and is associated with the influence of religion. Rowlandsons’ personal philosophy is that her children are Gods’ children, and can be taken as easily as they are given. For example, she quotes “me (as he said) have ye bereaved of my children, joseph is not, and simon is not, and ye will take benjamin also, all these are against me” Genesis 42:36 (38). She alludes to this because she has lost her way on Gods path to her eternal salvation.
Our children will always look up to certain men and women of the world, but we must remind them that it is one's character and integrity that makes a person a good example to follow; not the material or worldly status they obtain. Regardless of who our children look up to in this world, they need to be taught the importance of making Jesus the greatest influence of their lives. Let's examine a few reasons
