2. THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION
According to Traditional
educational philosophy…
•Education is meant to address specific
needs of a given society.
•It is meant to nurture the values of a
society in both children and adults of the
society.
9. • None of them really produce equality in society…
• They all seem to perpetuate inequality in societies.
• They also all seem to hinder the very unity they claim to promote…..
Think about it!
11. HOW SO? AGAIN, ITS SIMPLE!
•You and I were created by One Supreme
Being…it gets better! ;
•He created us in His very own Image…how
cool is that!
•He created us to serve Him!
•What’s the point of all this?
12. • Well , if we are created by Him, in His very Image and for Him, then our
values should be derived from His values.
• It means that education should be found on these values!
• And no, I am not going all religious on you all!
• What I mean is that people were designed to function in the perfection of
their Creator….and education should strive to help them work toward these
goals. When God created the universe, He had no time to play religious
games! He had to be DILIGENT, DISCIPLINED, THOUGHTFUL , STRATEGIC AND
REFLECTIVE on the work He has accomplished! Those are some of the values
that education should be striving to enforce in society…..and there are
more…
13. Then there is: LOVE; HOPE; FAITH; PEACE; SHUNNING OF SELFISHNESS;
HONESTY;TI DI DI DI DI DI DI
And they are all in and from God!
This will require man to slow down a bit and seek his Creator, then submit to
Him fully!..yep, the big scary word: SUBMISSION!
It’s a matter of DO OR SUFFER AND THEN DIE!
14. BUT THEN YOU MAY ARGUE, NO ONE
REALLY KNOWS WHO GOD IS! OH, BUT
ONE MAN GIVES US ALL THE ANSWER
TO THE MYSTERY!
15. JESUS DECLARES:
• “HE WHO HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FATHER!(GOD)
• “I AM IN THE FATHER(GOD) AND THE FATHER IS IN ME.”
• ANOTHER MAN WHO GREATLY OPPOSED HIM AT ONE POINT, DECLARES THE
FOLLOWING ABOUT HIM: “HE IS THE VERY IMAGE OF GOD, THE RADIANCE OF
HIS BRIGHTNESS’.
• JOHN SAYS THAT NO ONE HAS SEEN THE FATHER, BUT CHRIST HAS REVEALED
HIM!
17. • TURN TO THE MIRROR AND LOOK AT YOURSELF! YOU ARE THE FIRST LIVING
PROOF OF THE EXISTANCE OF GOD!
• You yourself are a creator of things! You create knowledge, construct ideas,
buildings…you make things come into being! Just like your Creator, whose
image you happen to bear!
• Without His fundamental values, you literally malfunction! Consider how you
need to be loved and to give love!
• We could talk about you forever…and it can get tiring, so lets consider other
forms of proof.
18. • CREATION declares the existence of the ONE SUPREME GOD!
• Nothing that exists demonstrates appearance by chance! Every creature
shows what others call intelligent design….a quality that you happen to
possess yourself!
THINK ABOUT IT!
19. MUCH MORE COULD BE SAID…BUT IT ALL RESTS ON
YOU. SO IN CONCLUSION…
20. LETS SURRENDER OURSELVES, FAMILIES AND
GOVERNMENTS TO GOD THROUGH BASING
EDUCATION ON HIS VALUES AND STANDARDS!
