The extent and quality of revival or reformation will be determined by how believers view all of life from the Bible's perspective. This course defines what a worldview is, examines four areas that are foundational for our worldview, and shows how all education is religious. While Biblical education is a means of bringing God's kingdom on earth, present-day state education is the means of bringing man's kingdom on earth. This course also contrasts the foundational principles of modern state education and the components of Kingdom education. For education to be Christian it needs a Christian philosophy, methodology, and curriculum. The Principle Approach is a Christian method of education, instilling in individuals the ability to reason from the Bible to every aspect of life. To implant principles in those we educate, we need to restore the "4 Rs" to education — 1. Research, 2. Reason, 3. Relate, 4. Record.

The solution to her son's dilemma came through prayer, study and applications of seven biblical principles. God's health plan is about wholeness and restoration; adding life to your years, not just years to your life. It's not what you have to do. It's what you can do.
