Checklist Of A Truly Christian School

I gleaned the following helpful advice from Attorney David Gibbs Jr. in the September 2019 newsletter publication of 'THE LEGAL ALERT.' Brother Gibbs says:


Weighed In The Balance

Is your school truly Christian? You grade your students in the classroom, so take a few minutes to grade yourself. How well are you building the following characteristics into your school? Do you need improvement? be honest with yourself because one day you will be faced with the task of giving an honest account to God for how well you fulfilled what you are called to do. What do you need to work on in your educational ministry. Do it!

I have traveled thousands of miles since the day I first tried to answer the question, “What is it that really makes our schools Christian?” I have been in many courtrooms, visited many Christian schools, and spoken to thousands of Christian educators since that day,

I am more convinced today than ever that these are the characteristics that make a school truly Christian, it is critical that we examine pour Christian schools to make certain that these are the foundations upon which they are built. Anything less than this would be a failure yo ourselves, our students, the parents, and most importantly to our God Who has called us to the sacred mission

Do not forget your purpose. Do not forget why it is that you are Christian. Do not forget that you are to walk in wisdom towards them that are without. Do not forget that you are to redeem the time because of what shall be asked of you when you stand before the Lord Jesus Christ in that day when you shall give an answer. I pray that your school will be evaluated and found truly Christian. 

You only educate a child once. As the years pass, the opportunity to educate any given child vanishes. Scripture teaches that all your works will be weighed in the balance of God's Holy Word. I pray that we will fulfill God's command to properly train this generation.


That's some practical advice for Christians. This article is an excerpt from Dr. David Gibbs Jr.'s book titled: “Navigating The Christian Life,” available from The Christian Law Association.
