The goal of education by the grace of God is to create self-governing people who live under the Law of God for the glory of Christ. ~ Tim Yarbrough
Christian Education quotes by Tim Yarbrough
I grant this mode of secluding boys from the intercourse of private families has a tendency to make them scholars, but our business is to make them men, citizens, and Christians. The vices of young people are generally learned from each other. The vices of adults seldom infect them. By separating them from each other, therefore, in their hours of relaxation from study, we secure their morals from a principal source of corruption, while we improve their manners by subjecting them to those restraints which the difference of age and sex naturally produce in private families. ~ Benjamin Rush
Christian Education quotes by Benjamin Rush
Under the new government of the Constitution, beginning in 1789, all of the peacetime measures were repeated: chaplains, prayers, memorials of Thanksgiving, the Northwest Ordinance, funding for the Christian education of Indians. ~ M. Stanton Evans
Christian Education quotes by M. Stanton Evans
The purpose of a Christian education would not be merely to make men and women pious Christians: a system which aimed too rigidly at this end alone would become only obscurantist. A Christian education must primarily teach people to be able to think in Christian categories. ~ T. S. Eliot
Christian Education quotes by T. S. Eliot
Proverbs 16:3 'Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.' A great reminder when planning out the school year. ~ Tamara L. Chilver
Christian Education quotes by Tamara L. Chilver
Neither parenting, Christian education, heritage, nor fine church involvement can alter anyone's essential sin nature. To lie, make self-centered choices, be destructive, or be deeply hurtful to oneself or others may be "out of character," but it is not outside of any human being's nature. ~ Rick Horne
Christian Education quotes by Rick Horne
A Christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a Christian; and truth is truth however learned. But while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the Christian from that which they seem to the non-Christian; and that is why a truly Christian education is possible only when Christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school. ~ John Gresham Machen
Christian Education quotes by John Gresham Machen
I am as sure as I am of the fact of Christ's reign, that a comprehensive and centralised system of national education, separated from religion, as is now commonly proposed, will prove the most appalling enginery for the propagation of anti-Christian and atheistic unbelief and of anti-social nihilistic ethics, social and political, which this sin-rent world has ever seen. ~ Archibald Alexander Hodge
Christian Education quotes by Archibald Alexander Hodge
The severest charge that can be brought against the Christian education of the Negro in the South during the last thirty years is the reckless way in which sap-headed young fellows, without ability, and, in some cases, without character, have been urged and pushed into the ministry. ~ W.E.B. Du Bois
Christian Education quotes by W.E.B. Du Bois
2. Christian education places its emphasis on "unity" in relationships between people. ~ James C. Dobson
Christian Education quotes by James C. Dobson
Christian education is a bomb with a long fuse - it takes a while to go off. ~ Howard G. Hendricks
Christian Education quotes by Howard G. Hendricks
There is only one Education, and it has only one goal: the freedom of the mind. Anything that needs an adjective, be it civics education, or socialist education, or Christian education, or whatever-you-like education, is not education, and it has some different goal. The very existence of modified "educations" is testimony to the fact that their proponents cannot bring about what they want in a mind that is free. An "education" that cannot do its work in a free mind, and so must "teach" by homily and precept in the service of these feelings and attitudes and beliefs rather than those, is pure and unmistakable tyranny. ~ Richard Mitchell
Christian Education quotes by Richard Mitchell
It is a sinful abomination for one part of the world's Christians to grow richer year by year while our brothers and sisters ache and suffer for lack of minimal health care, minimal education, and even - in some cases - enough food to escape starvation. ~ Ronald J. Sider
Christian Education quotes by Ronald J. Sider
I am frivolous. But sometimes, that's the problem of my Christian education, when I know I've been frivolous, and I know I have to do it, then I feel guilty. ~ Catherine Deneuve
Christian Education quotes by Catherine Deneuve
To be free, one must have the critical-thinking skills that inoculate against the alluring rhetoric that pervades contemporary society, rhetoric that is constantly seeking to undermine freedom for the sake of varied narrow interests. It is an old story, and Daniel Scoggin, the CEO of Great Hearts, recognizes this reality when he reminds his constituency that "each generation must earn its freedom anew". ~ Gene Edward Veith Jr.
Christian Education quotes by Gene Edward Veith Jr.
The key distinctive of a truly Christian education ... is the effective practice of worldview integration, that is, an approach to biblical integration that leads to a Christian worldview. ~ Martha MacCullough
Christian Education quotes by Martha MacCullough
The first book a child should be taught how to read is the Holy Scriptures. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Christian Education quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
God is the greatest Teacher. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Christian Education quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
In itself this Christian education is partly the product of the retreat of biblical scholarship from the faith community to the academy. In removing themselves to the academy biblical scholars have ceased to engage with the people of the issues of the contemporary faith context. ~ Janet Lees (p. 84). In Reading Other-Wise ~ Gerald O. West
Christian Education quotes by Gerald O. West
Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him. ~ Blaise Pascal
Christian Education quotes by Blaise Pascal
To all of us who hold the Christian belief that God is truth, anything that is true is a fact about God, and mathematics is a branch of theology. ~ Hilda Phoebe Hudson
Christian Education quotes by Hilda Phoebe Hudson
Make only your trust in God; His author must surely finish his work. Hold on! ~ Oladosu Feyikogbon
Christian Education quotes by Oladosu Feyikogbon
One of the goals of classical education is to discern the appropriate manner by which the mistreated and oppressed can challenge their oppressors without destroying their civilization. ~ Gene Edward Veith Jr.
Christian Education quotes by Gene Edward Veith Jr.
We cannot take on anger toward these professors. They are ensnared in a faulty worldview…Let us not blame the world for being the world…We can respond by pulling up stakes and retreating further into our sub-culture or we can be the harbingers of freedom to the captives. Our focus is to be on restoring rather than retreating. ~ Karla Perry
Christian Education quotes by Karla Perry
Whatever the reason, the fact is that there was no widespread catechetical teaching for Christian children. Things were going to change. The growing awareness of the need for Christian education was one of the chief forces behind the desire in the sixteenth century to reform the rite of baptism. ~ Hughes Oliphant Old
Christian Education quotes by Hughes Oliphant Old
What is education for? And more specifically, what is at stake in a distinctly Christian education? What does the qualifier Christian mean when appended to education? It is usually understood that education is about ideas and information (though it is also too often routinely reduced to credentialing for a career and viewed as a ticket to a job). And so distinctively Christian education is understood to be about Christian ideas--which usually requires a defense of the importance of "the life of the mind." On this account, the goal of a Christian education is the development of a Christian perspective, or more commonly now, a Christian worldview, which is taken to be a system of Christian beliefs, ideas, and doctrines.

But what if this line of thinking gets off on the wrong foot? What if education ... is not primarily about the absorption of ideas and information, but about the formation of hearts and desires? What if we began by appreciating how education not only gets into our head but also (and more fundamentally) grabs us by the gut? What if education was primarily concerned with shaping our hopes and passions - our visions of 'the good life' - and not merely about the dissemination of data and information as inputs to our thinking? What if the primary work of education was the transforming of our imagination rather than the saturation of our intellect? ...

What if education wasn't first and foremost about what we know, but about what we love? ~ James K.A. Smith
Christian Education quotes by James K.A. Smith
There are many who occasionally attend church and who are trying experimentally to be Christians, yet are unable to identify well or define accurately the central truths of Christian teaching. The knowledge they have of the Christian tradition may have come chiefly through hymns. Their strong and sincere feelings are not matched with serious biblical or historical reflection on those feelings. Religious feelings are, indeed, crucial to the deeper learning of Christian truth, but they easily become superficial and narcissistic if the mind of Christ is not a mentor to natural religious impulse. The loss of center in Christian education is arguably due to a serious default of pastoral leadership; when the teaching elder does not teach, the effect is felt throughout the entire Christian congregation. ~ Thomas C. Oden
Christian Education quotes by Thomas C. Oden
The most important Christian Education institution is not the pulpit or the school, important as those institutions are; but it is the Christian family. And that institution has to a very large extent ceased to do its work. ~ John Gresham Machen
Christian Education quotes by John Gresham Machen
It is not scholarship alone, but scholarship impregnated with religion, that tells on the great mass of society. We have no faith in the efficacy of mechanic's institutes, or even of primary and elementary schools, for building up a virtuous and well conditioned peasantry, so long as they stand dissevered from the lessons of Christian piety. ~ Thomas Chalmers
Christian Education quotes by Thomas Chalmers
History, when rightly written, is but a record of providence; and he who would read history rightly, must read it with his eyes constantly fixed on the hand of God. This statement of a nineteenth-century historian sums up the responsibility of the Christian teacher of history, for he who would teach history or any subject matter rightly, must teach it with his eyes constantly fixed on the hand of God. ~ D. A. Fisher
Christian Education quotes by D. A. Fisher
Theology is the systematic inquiry into Scripture. Theology is a human attempt to make sense of and draw conclusions from God's special revelation. ~ Perry G. Downs
Christian Education quotes by Perry G. Downs
The purpose of Christian education is not academic: it is religious and practical. ~ Rousas John Rushdoony
Christian Education quotes by Rousas John Rushdoony
We are here for an education. ~ W. Edwards Deming
Christian Education quotes by W. Edwards Deming
Jesus doesn't want what you can do for Him. He wants you.....all of you.....the good and the bad. ~ Wade Grassedonio
Christian Education quotes by Wade Grassedonio
All life's training is just exactly what is needed for the true Life-work, still out of view but far away from none of us. Don't grudge me the learning of a new lesson. ~ Amy Carmichael
Christian Education quotes by Amy Carmichael
The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history ~ Carl T. Rowan
Christian Education quotes by Carl T. Rowan
Positive madness leads to new knowledge. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Christian Education quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The U.S. can still maintain research institutions, such as Caltech, that are the envy of the world, yet it would be hubristic and naive to think that this position is sustainable without investing in science education and basic research. ~ Ahmed Zewail
Christian Education quotes by Ahmed Zewail
The Christian test was a willingness to believe in the one Jesus Christ and His Message of salvation. What was demanded was not criticism but credulity. The Church Fathers observed that in the realm of thought only heresy had a history. ~ Daniel J. Boorstin
Christian Education quotes by Daniel J. Boorstin
Aretha Franklin was a teenage mom, a musician who came from an incredibly Christian background, but there was a lot of love, which is really inspiring in a feminist way. ~ Beth Ditto
Christian Education quotes by Beth Ditto
Well, part of it is a longstanding belief - it's been in our education establishment at least since the 1930s - that somehow children should be allowed to discover knowledge for themselves, that they should construct their own knowledge. This has surfaced most recently in connection with mathematics instruction, where the idea is that they need to discover how to add for themselves. Rather than being taught how to add, they should construct this knowledge on their own. ~ Lynne Cheney
Christian Education quotes by Lynne Cheney
For, if we have not charity, we are not Christians: charity is the great duty of Christians. ~ George Whitefield
Christian Education quotes by George Whitefield
Just as God's will is creation and is called 'the world' so His intention is the salvation of men, and it is called 'the Church.' ~ Clement Of Alexandria
Christian Education quotes by Clement Of Alexandria
I hadn't realized until this week that in [Moses'] youth he killed a man, an Egyptian, and buried him under some sandI used to worry that I wasn't enough like Jesus, but yesterday I remembered who was my king; a man who, when God addressed him and told him to lead the people out of Egypt, said, 'But I'm not a good talker! Couldn't you ask my brother instead?' So it should not be so hard to come at this life with a bit of honesty. I don't need to be great like the leader of the Christian people. I can be a bumbling, murderous coward like the King of the Jews. ~ Sheila Heti
Christian Education quotes by Sheila Heti
Don't worry about people, just love them. ~ Debasish Mridha
Christian Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
That many do not advance in the Christian progress because they stick in penances, and particular exercises, while they neglect the love of God, which is the end. That this appeared plainly by their works, and was the reason why we see so little solid virtue. ~ Brother Lawrence
Christian Education quotes by Brother Lawrence
There is no life without change. ~ Debasish Mridha
Christian Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
And the truth is that I'm not, Ed, is what I wanted to tell you. I'm not arty like everyone says who doesn't know me, I don't paint, I can't draw, I play no instrument, I can't sing. I'm not in plays, I wanted to say, I don't write poems. I can't dance except tipsy at dances. I'm not athletic, I'm not a goth or a cheerleader, I'm not treasurer or co-captain. I'm not gay and out and proud, I'm not that kid from Sri Lanka, not a triplet, a prep, a drunk, a genius, a hippie, a Christian, a slut, not even one of those super-Jewish girls with a yarmulke gang wishing everyone a happy Sukkoth. I'm not anything, this is what I realized ... I like movies, everyone knows I do
I love them
but I will never be in charge of one because my ideas are stupid and wrong in my head. There's nothing different about that, nothing fascinating, interesting, worth looking at. ~ Daniel Handler
Christian Education quotes by Daniel Handler
For this reason, to study English literature without some general knowledge of the relation of the Bible to that literature would be to leave one's literary education very incomplete. ~ Lafcadio Hearn
Christian Education quotes by Lafcadio Hearn
Devote yourself to reading, learning and writing. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Christian Education quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Loving well is the goal of the Christian life. ~ Peter Scazzero
Christian Education quotes by Peter Scazzero
Because the myth that America is a Christian nation has led many to associate America with Christ, many now hear the good news of Jesus only as American news, capitalistic news, imperialistic news, exploitive news, antigay news, or Republican news. And whether justified or not, many people want nothing to do with any of it. ~ Gregory A. Boyd
Christian Education quotes by Gregory A. Boyd
You are one brave woman," he whispers, "I am in awe of you. ~ E.L. James
Christian Education quotes by E.L. James
Moralizing is reading the Bible not to learn about Jesus but only to learn principles for how to live life as a good person by following the good examples of some people and avoiding the bad examples of others. That kind of approach to the Scriptures is not Christian, because it treats the Bible like any other book with moral lessons that are utterly disconnected from faith in and salvation from Jesus. ~ Mark Driscoll
Christian Education quotes by Mark Driscoll
Experience of actual fact either teaches fools or abolishes them. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Christian Education quotes by Thomas Carlyle
There ought to be such an atmosphere in every Christian church that a man going there and sitting two hours should take the contagion of heaven, and carry home a fire to kindle the altar whence he came. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Christian Education quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
No choice recurs. We may get similar choices again, but never that exact one. Hesitation - inaction - is just as irrevocable as action. What the motorist, locked on the one-way road, is to space, we are to the fourth dimension: we truly pass this way but once. ~ Brian Christian
Christian Education quotes by Brian Christian
Misers are neither relations, nor friends, nor citizens, nor Christians, nor perhaps even human beings. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
Christian Education quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
Love is heavenly.
Expression of love gives us the sweetest joy and deepest fulfillment. ~ Debasish Mridha
Christian Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
Your courage comes from love. ~ Debasish Mridha
Christian Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
Given the consumer-pleasing politics of today's universities, I have, in effect, seventy new bosses each semester; they're sitting at the desk in front of me. ~ Maureen Corrigan
Christian Education quotes by Maureen Corrigan
The Meccan merchants had met Christian monks and hermits during their travels, and were familiar with the stories of Jesus and the concepts of Paradise and the Last Judgment. They called Jews and Christians the ahl al-kitab ("the People of the Book"). They admired the notion of a revealed text and wished they had sacred scripture in their own language. ~ Karen Armstrong
Christian Education quotes by Karen Armstrong
They who refuse education to a black man would turn the South into a vast poorhouse, and labor into a pendulum, necessity vibrating between poverty and indolence. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Christian Education quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
You will not able to find peace if you are the source of unhappiness for others. ~ Debasish Mridha
Christian Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
I spent my childhood watching every scary movie that Hollywood ever made. And I think that gave me the best education for storytelling. It also made me want to reproduce the scary moments that I felt, sitting in a theater at the age of 5. ~ Tess Gerritsen
Christian Education quotes by Tess Gerritsen
I liked Hans Christian Andersen because the tales were so dark and tragic. ~ Aimee Bender
Christian Education quotes by Aimee Bender
Some Christians try to go to heaven alone, in solitude; but believers are not compared to bears, or lions, or other animals that wander alone; but those who belong to Christ are sheep in this respect, that they love to get together. Sheep go in flocks, and so do God's people. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Christian Education quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Christian Deodorant: "Thou Shalt Not Smell" ~ George Carlin
Christian Education quotes by George Carlin
Curiously enough, it seems that at times the spiritual side prevails, and then the materialistic side - in wave-like motions following each other. ...At one time the full flood of materialistic ideas prevails, and everything in this life - prosperity, the education which procures more pleasures, more food - will become glorious at first and then that will degrade and degenerate. Along with the prosperity will rise to white heat all the inborn jealousies and hatreds of the human race. Competition and merciless cruelty will be the watchword of the day. To quote a very commonplace and not very elegant English proverb, "Everyone for himself, and the devil take the hindmost", becomes the motto of the day. Then people think that the whole scheme of life is a failure. And the world would be destroyed had not spirituality come to the rescue and lent a helping hand to the sinking world. Then the world gets new hope and finds a new basis for a new building, and another wave of spirituality comes, which in time again declines. As a rule, spirituality brings a class of men who lay exclusive claim to the special powers of the world. The immediate effect of this is a reaction towards materialism, which opens the door to scores of exclusive claims, until the time comes when not only all the spiritual powers of the race, but all its material powers and privileges are centered in the hands of a very few; and these few, standing on the necks of the masses of the people, want to rule them. Then ~ Swami Vivekananda
Christian Education quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Arik and Cadie always knew they wouldn't be one of those couples that let problems between them fester. They would immediately address any issues that arose, bring them out into the open, discuss them until they reached a mutually satisfactory conclusion. They felt bad for some of the Founders who they believed had unhappy marriages - couples who were not strong enough to be truthful and open with each other, and even worse, with themselves ~ Christian Cantrell
Christian Education quotes by Christian Cantrell
Creeds have been the bane of the Christian church ... made of Christendom a slaughter-house. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Christian Education quotes by Thomas Jefferson
A Christian man should so shine in his life, that a person could not live with him a week, without knowing the gospel. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Christian Education quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
I am a politician, but I am also a Christian. ~ Thomas De Maiziere
Christian Education quotes by Thomas De Maiziere
Second, a Christian comes to others only through Jesus Christ. Among men there is strife. 'He is our peace', says Paul of Jesus Christ (Eph. 2.14). Without Christ there is discord between God and man and between man and man. Christ became the Mediator and made peace with God and among men. Without Christ we should not know God and could not call upon him, nor come to him. But without Christ we would also not know our brother, nor could we come to him. The way is blocked by our own ego. Christ opened up the way to God and to our brother. Now Christians can live with one another in peace; they can love and serve one another; they can become one. But they can continue to do so only by way of Jesus Christ. Only in Jesus Christ are we one, only through him are we bound together. To eternity he remains the one Mediator. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christian Education quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
All education should be directed toward the refinement of the individual's sensibilities in relation not only to one's fellow humans everywhere, but to all living things whatsoever. ~ Ashley Montagu
Christian Education quotes by Ashley Montagu
The greatest characteristic a Christian can exhibit is this completely unveiled openness before God, which allows that person's life to become a mirror for others. When the Spirit fills us, we are transformed, and by beholding God we become mirrors. You can always tell when someone has been beholding the glory of the Lord, because your inner spirit senses that he mirrors the Lord's own character. Beware of anything that would spot or tarnish that mirror in you. It is almost always something good that will stain it - something good, but not what is best. ~ Oswald Chambers
Christian Education quotes by Oswald Chambers
A teenager's nature is not laziness, their preferred state is not ignorance, and it is not necessary for extrinsic motivation to be delivered by trained professionals in order to prevent them from bareknuckle boxing under a bridge in exchange for drugs and money. ~ Brian Huskie
Christian Education quotes by Brian Huskie
My nephew. He was a law student. A good Christian. He never kept girlfriends. He never missed a ceremonial meal. ~ S.A. David
