“For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” (Proverbs 2:6, NKJV)
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10, NKJV)
Just a reminder before we begin: God calls parents to the responsibility of educating their children. Whether you home school or send your children to a school outside your home, you are still responsible before God for how your children are being educated. Each one of us who is called to be a parent is also called to be an educator. This series of articles deals with “academic” things, but they are things relevant to every parent and everyone who ever hopes to be a parent-- or anyone who wants to learn anything faithfully.
In Part 1, we explored the first component of a Biblically faithful education: knowledge. Knowledge must be the first step in learning anything. In order for us to develop understating and wisdom about a subject, we must first know it. In order for me to understand the causes of the Civil War properly, I must first know that there was a Civil War and the major events leading up to it. In order for me to understand the major themes and the flow of the argument of Romans, I must first know that the Book of Romans exists and I must know its basic content. Understanding without knowledge will always be unsound and incomplete.
