I will put hostility between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring.
He will strike your head,
and you will strike his heel.
I inculded this verse because It is the foundation for missions and education . We see that there are two lines. The goal is to bring the ones in the line of the Serpent, and bring them into the realized vitory by the Offsprign of the woman
My son, don’t forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commands;
for they will bring you
many days, a full life, and well-being.
Never let loyalty and faithfulness leave you.
Tie them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will find favor and high regard
with God and people.
In this passage, Solomon is speaking to his son about the value of learning. He reminds him that through learning, he will have a blessed life. That he will find favor with God and men by being a learner, and remembering what hie father taught him. There is a lifeling benefit to being a learner
just as I also try to please everyone in everything, not seeking my own benefit, but the benefit of many, so that they may be saved. Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ.
here, Paul gives an example of Christian eduation in a crosscultural, informal setting. He is telling the Corinthians that he has become a good example in order that they can learn not just from what he says but what he does as well.
But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Therse are all texts to keep in mind when discussing Christian education from teh perspective of a learner
Shema: Deut 6:4-9
“Listen, Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city gates.
Jesus as an example of holistic teaching.
Two aspects of Jesus’s teaching to focus on
He catered his content to His students. (multi cultural) He was in a multicultural setting as well, being tri lingual
He lived out what he taught. He was not a hypocrite. he lived out his message of love
Integrated education
Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “People of Athens! I see that you are extremely religious in every respect. For as I was passing through and observing the objects of your worship, I even found an altar on which was inscribed, ‘To an Unknown God.’ Therefore, what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and everything in it—he is Lord of heaven and earth—does not live in shrines made by hands. Neither is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives everyone life and breath and all things. From one man he has made every nationality to live over the whole earth and has determined their appointed times and the boundaries of where they live. He did this so that they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’ Since, then, we are God’s offspring, we shouldn’t think that the divine nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image fashioned by human art and imagination.
“Therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has set a day when he is going to judge the world in righteousness by the man he has appointed. He has provided proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to ridicule him, but others said, “We’d like to hear from you again about this.” So Paul left their presence. However, some people joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Much of this address is a refrence to Socrates, Luke is presenting Paul a s a better Socrates, showing that even Socrates agrees with the Gospel.
Practical integration
integreate social sciences and learnign styles into the pedagogical method.
Is teaching as lecture or as discussion better?
Integrate Scripture and curriculum.
