Even the anticipation of crossing over is fraught with a sense of adventure, awe, and apprehension. Nevertheless, the experience of crossing over from one locale or realm to another invites the possibility of transformation. Transformation is central to the journey of faith with our triune God.

Some things, like men’s white powdered wigs and women’s corsets, we can live without. But some things have gone out of fashion that we really need to recover. 1721 was the year Jonathan Edwards was graduated from the Collegiate School at New Haven, known today as Yale University. But before Edwards and his classmates could exit Yale, whether to work as pastors or merchants, they were all tested in a particular field of study that has since disappeared from virtually every school in America: the practical art of God-centered work.

Do you want to empower others to think through problems and achieve their goals? Do you want to empower others to get organized, prioritize, and target their strengths? If you want to empower others, provoke them. Provoke them to reflect. Reflection is powerful.

From another perspective, the worldview from which teachers teach is the worldview students will have. Of course, students have more than one teacher, and it is difficult to say which teacher’s or teachers’ worldview each student will develop. Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:28:31 +0100
