<p class="abstracttextDILIGENTIA">God gave man his commission (Gen. 1:26-30), called the Cultural Mandate. In this mandate mankind is to steward the created order, in accordance with God’s law-Word, for God’s glory. Shortly before the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, he issued the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20). The Great Commission command to disciple all the nations into obedience to the comprehensive and absolute lordship of Jesus Christ. There is no area of thought, life, or culture outside the scope of the Creation/ Dominion Mandate or the Great Commission. Thus, the extent of the Creation Mandate and the extent of the Great Commission necessitate Christian Education.<strong> </strong>Accelerated Christian Curriculum is a curriculum that has been helping pastors and parents by developing and publishing quality, character building Christian educational materials for Grade Levels K3-12. By integrating character building principles and scripture memory into the academics, the program helps children master each concept before moving to the next concept.<strong> </strong>In this essay I analyze the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum from a Biblical Christian Worldview.</p><div><div><p class="footnoteDILIGENTIA"> </p></div></div>

<p>The purpose of this paper is to discuss a Christian teacher’s calling in response to the great commission of Jesus Christ in building character in digital era. The main task of a teacher in the context of Christian education is to assist students in knowing God in Jesus Christ and being like Christ in their daily lives. Christian teachers become co-workers with God in conveying the values of His kingdom in a digital era that is filled with individualism, selfishness, and self-righteousness, all of which lead to the loss of love. The teaching that is delivered by Christian teachers can bring students to God’s truth which will affect students’ character, intellect, and spirituality. These not only help students but can also be used to serve and help other people to face the challenges of this digital era.</p><p class="abstrak">BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk membahas panggilan guru Kristen sebagai wujud amanat agung Yesus Kristus dalam penanaman nilai pada era digital. Tugas utama seorang guru dalam konteks pendidikan Kristen adalah membantu para siswa untuk belajar mengenal Allah di dalam Yesus Kristus dan melalui firmanNya. Mereka dapat menjadi serupa dengan Kristus dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Oleh sebab itu penting sekali mahasiswa menangkap panggilanNya sebagai Guru Kristen, karena dengan demikian akan menjadi rekan sekerja Allah dalam menyampaikan nilai-nilai kerajaanNya di era digital yang sarat dengan egoisme, mementingkan diri sendiri, bahkan merasa diri benar, sehingga kasih menjadi pudar. Dengan demikian, pengajaran yang disampaikan guru Kristen akan membawa para siswa memiliki nilai-nilai kebenaran yang justru kembali kepadaTuhan dan berpusat kepada Kristus, yang berdampak kepada pertumbuhan karakter intelektual, spiritual, intelegensi tidak hanya menjadi kebanggaan sendiri melainkan dipakai untuk melayani dan menolong orang lain dalam menghadapi era digital ini.</p>

Was Jesus crucified on the cross? Did Jesus die by crucifixion? This topic generates so much emotion and conflict in Christian-Islamic dialogue as many theories have developed to prove one side of the equation. While several methods can answer Islamic objections against the biblical belief, the evidential Apologetics is the best method to provide evidence for the Christian claims. Evidential Apologetics is one of the methods that seeks to prove the truthfulness of the Christian worldview by showing historical and scientific evidences. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to use the evidential method to answer three major objections that Muslims raise against the crucifixion of Jesus: Jesus was never crucified, the swoon theory, and the substitute theory. The paper will conclude that there are surmounted historical and scientific evidences that support the event of Jesus’s crucifixion.

“Anti-intellectualism is historically traceable in American life, and the effectiveness of Christian education is not unrelated to it. Christians ought seriously to consider whether the church school, if it does not actively develop the intellect of today's informed child, can lead him to a knowledge of Jesus Christ.”

Abstract The present paper investigates the relationship between divine and human agency in teaching the Christian faith. While Christian education actually was conveyed by human beings (apostles, teachers, catechists, bishops), many authors claimed that the one and only teacher of Christianity is Jesus Christ, referring to Matt 23:8-9. By examining texts from the 2nd to the 5th century, different configurations of divine and human teaching are identified and discussed. The paper thereby highlights a crucial tension in Early and Late Antique Christianity relating to the possibilities and limitations of communicating the faith.

This project explores how the Evangelical Pentecostal Church (EPC) in Croatia is making disciples of Jesus Christ today. The goal is to demonstrate that despite the worldwide and local deficit in effective disciple making, the EPC has the resources and potential to live in obedience to the Great Commission. This has been shown by looking at the historical definition of a disciple, exegeting Matthew 28:16-20, exploring the proper context of disciple-making, and interviewing several members of the EPC. Upon examination, while there are multiple causes for the lack of disciples in Croatia, the primary problem is that of what will be called naive disobedience. It will be argued that local churches in the EPC have not been taught how to properly make disciples. By presenting the importance of teaching, relationships and practicing the spiritual disciplines, it will be demonstrated that a solution to the lack of disciple-making exists within the EPC.

Holistic ministry is now the standard across global missional practice, and one manifestation of integral mission is Entrepreneurial Church Planting (ECP). This occurs when business entrepreneurs and clergy members launch spiritually and economically integrated communities of faith. While it may be conceptually inviting for spiritual and business forces to comingle in reaching the lost, ECP activities need to be evaluated as to whether they are accomplishing the goals of the Great Commission and the Creation Commission. In-depth study is needed now to consider outcomes relative to goals. To that end, this study will examine the unique data trends that emerge in the case study of Kentucky-based Meridzo Ministries. Grassroots insights from case-study research will then be applied to Clemens Sedmak’s kinship model in order to posit three proxy indicators based upon interviewee data. This article argues that rather than measuring success of missions economically or spiritually, success should be gauged on the grounds of holistic relational transformation.

The “IDEAS” section for this month focuses on connections between mathematics and music. including both the interpretation of music and the creation of music and musical tones. Music is very special. As a child listens to music, he or she may feel happy and want to smile or may feel a beat and want to clap or dance or may feel contemplative and want to think or write down some thoughts. The activities offer a variety of classroom happenings that tie together a student's perception of music and some important strands of mathematics. The visions of the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards (NCTM 1989), including mathematics as communication, mathematics as reasoning, and mathematics as problem solving, are an integral part of these activities. Other emphasized standards are those on estimation, measurement. statistics, fractions, and patterns. The reproducible sheets for the “IDEAS” section are designed to be used by multiple grade levels. Included are four classroom activities and an activity sheet that involves parents and children in listening together to the radio.
