In my book, Kingdom Education, I identify 10 biblical principles that I have discovered that must guide Christian parents, church leaders and Christian educators on how to educate future generations.
10 Biblical Principles of Education
God’s Word provides Christians with key principles so that they know how God expects them to raise or educate their children.
| The education of children and youth: |
|
1. Is the primary responsibility of parents
|
| 2. Is a 24 hour-a-day, 7 days-per-week process that continues from birth till maturity |
| 3. Must have as its primary goals the salvation of and discipleship of the next generation |
| 4. Must be based on God’s Word as absolute truth |
| 5. Must hold Christ as preeminent in all of life |
| 6. Must not hinder the spiritual and moral development of the next generation |
| 7. If and when delegated by parents, must be done with utmost care to ensure that all teachers follow these principles |
| 8. Results in the formation of a belief system or worldview that will be patterned after the belief systems or worldviews of the person’s teachers |
| 9. Must lead to true wisdom and understanding by connecting all knowledge to a biblical worldview framework |
| 10. Must have a view of the future that includes the eternal perspective |
