Christian Educator Quotes & Sayings

How decisive for the Christian educator, or for any educator of good will, is the revelation that man is made in the image and likeness of the three-Personed God? That is like asking what difference it will make to us if we keep in mind that a human being is made not for the processing of data, but for wisdom; not for the utilitarian satisfaction of appetite, but for love; not for the domination of nature, but for participation in it; not for the autonomy of an isolated self, but for communion. — Anthony Esolen

Dwight L. Moody, a great evangelist and Christian educator of the late nineteenth century, used to say, "The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives." It was given to change our character and bring it more into conformity with Jesus Christ.

We must "not merely listen to the word," but we are to "do what it says" (James 1:22). — Rick Warren

The courts are merely a ruse, if you will, for humanist, atheistic educators to beat up on Christians. — Pat Robertson

The Biblical educator must not only have a Christian understanding of the material, he must have a Biblical understanding of the student. If he does not, then the result will be a hybrid Christian methodology employed to achieve a humanistic goal. — Douglas Wilson
