Six Training Objectives Christian Education Should Incorporate
In the fulfillment of the mission of Christian education, a Christian education should seek to achieve the following specific objectives:
1. Training Students To Sense God
The focus of a Christian education is to train students to sense the Spirit of God within their heart. Moses learned this in his burning bush experience in the wilderness. Paul learned it on the road to Damascus and in the subsequent three years in the Arabian Desert. Jesus, Himself, after going to the desert, returned in the power of the Spirit and began a miracle-filled ministry. We should focus Christian education on releasing the revelation of God within the heart. We should use our minds and books to help us clarify, understand, and validate the revelation that is flowing within us.
Out of the heart come the issues of life. The mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart, and life and death are in the power of the tongue. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that students fully understand their hearts, and know how to sense the movement of God within their hearts.
