Biblical Principles For Teaching In Christian Schools

By Jose Price


In most Sunday school classes teachers often teach based on stories such as Jonah and the Whale and other folks tales. While these stories can be interesting for children, there are important Biblical Principles for Teaching. For, while hearing stories can be interesting, learning how to become a better human being can often be life saving.

Whether leading a congregation or ministering to students in a classroom, teachers often have important decisions to make about lesson plans. In all cases, it is important to understand whether those attending the class are from conservative, or more liberal homes. For, in some cases, a child can often feel discriminated against or out of place in some more conservative schools.

In most cases, there are five of these principles which are taught in most churches and Sunday school classes. These include, evangelism, discipleship, family responsibility and spiritual transformation. By teaching these principles, students of all ages can learn a great deal about God, the church and the people it serves.

While most often evangelism works to teach people about Jesus and salvation, topics can take on different forms based on the branch of Christianity of which a church is a part. For example, while in most Baptist churches it refers to the teaching of salvation, it could be about belief and baptism. Whereas, in some branches, a spoken prayer is required, in others, only baptism.

While all of these principles are based on the Bible, there are some which also exist outside religious realms. One of which is the concept of discipleship. For, there are even cult leaders whom have disciples. As such, it is important when referring to a disciple to mention that person as being a disciple of Christ rather than a disciple of a cult or cult leader.

Biblical doctrines are often used in families of the Christian faith. It is important that individuals understand these doctrines. For, in many cases, a number of important decisions related to family life are often based in faith. As such, the more one understands about a specific doctrine or doctrines, often the easier it is to make an educated decision which adheres to the will of God.

In most cases, Sunday school students not only learn about salvation but also go through a spiritual transformation. For, classes often teach in ways that lead one to consider life and all it has to offer. After which, when one decides to build a personal relationship with the Supreme Being, many begin living a more spiritually focused life.

There are other philosophies and principles which are based on the Bible. While some of these are taught though churches and schools, others are learned in life. As such, there are often lesson plans available to Christian Sunday school and school teachers which deal with these other principles. While some churches and schools are accepting of these lessons, others tend to reject anything which has not been taken directly from the Bible or so-called Word of God. As such, it is often left up to church and school administrators as to whether or not to implement these lesson plans.
