Come Let Us Reason Together…
God encourages his people to reason with Him (Isaiah 1:18), love Him with all of our mind (Matthew 22:37), and to be ready to give the reason for the hope that we have (1 Peter 3:15). All these verses encourage us to use logic to better know, love and share God with others. Unfortunately, the study of Logic has been ignored in most schools today. Schools teach kids what to think (information), but rarely teach them how to think (discernment).
Logic is a characteristic feature of a classical Christian education. We want kids who don’t mindlessly consume information, but question assumptions and who are able to defend their beliefs. This is what you see happening in the photo above. The students in Mr. Kasibante’s Bible class offered arguments either defending or refuting claims like, “Does God change His mind.” Both sides used Scripture to support their arguments. Both sides learned to think by considering the topic from multiple perspectives. The end goal is a wise and eloquent person, ready to serve God.
