The Legacy of Christian Education
Every child, at some point in his or her life will ask the question, “Who am I?” The predominant teaching in the public school system today is that we are essentially, and only, physical beings. To quote Stephen Pinker, an oft-cited Harvard professor of psychology, “When the brain dies, the person goes out of existence.” He really means that! Many educators teaching in public schools, universities and colleges have the same opinion.
Children are more than physical beings; they are also spiritual and eternal beings. This eternal perspective is what drives our Christian view of education. Your ministry’s leaders are passionate about continuing to offer this unique form of education. Will you pray for your school’s leadership? Only through God’s power can they protect each student from the humanistic influences of the world.
