How Will A Biblical Worldview Impact Your Student’s Life?

Caroline Leland, 4th Grade teacher, shares the vitality of teaching classroom material from a Biblical Worldview perspective!

Everyone has a worldview or a lens through which they see the world. What worldview we have determines how we think, how we act, and how we respond to the world around us. No one is able to go through life without being influenced by a worldview. This is why it is so crucial for young people to establish early on a biblical worldview. A child will not naturally develop a biblical worldview without being taught and shown what it means to have one. If we don’t attempt to guide and teach our children to have a biblical worldview, we can be assured that they will be influenced by other worldly views that would be in contradiction with the Bible.

If we don’t attempt to guide and teach our children to have a biblical worldview, we can be assured that they will be influenced by other worldly views that would be in contradiction with the Bible.

Our tool that we can use to help develop a biblical worldview is of course the Bible. Proverbs 23:23 says, “Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.” This verse states the importance of obtaining truth and not letting it be taken from you. The world is working hard to tear down biblical truth. Colossians 2:8 says, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” There are many things in this world that are vain or fruitless that don’t lead us to become more like Christ. 

Here at Florence Christian School, our mission statement is “to assist parents in developing a biblical worldview in the minds of their children by providing an excellent education based on principles of God’s Word.” Teaching a biblical worldview is at the heart of what we do here. Every teacher incorporates a biblical worldview into every lesson and subject taught. Students are shown how to analyze and interpret what they are exposed to through a biblical lens. We do this with the hope of the promise found in Proverbs 22:6 which says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
