WHAT MAKES CCS ONLINE DIFFERENT?

According to the Youth Transition Network, a group of fifty national campus and military ministries, research shows that after exiting high school only 12%-50% of Christian students continue going to church and actively pursuing fellowship with other Christians. By God’s grace we have found that the vast majority of our graduates maintain their faith after graduation.

Our students come away from our classes changed, challenged, and prepared for the onslaught of subtle and hostile challenges to the claims of Christ that permeate our culture and college campuses.

Our classes breathe the spirit of the Reformation, standing on the rock of God’s Word, reasoning from God’s logic, and challenging the assumptions of man. This is true Biblical integration, providing students with the foundation they need to apply the Word of God to every area of thought and life.

Education is more than simply learning to question man’s knowledge; it’s learning to give God’s answers to tough, real-life questions and challenges.

Your children now have the opportunity to receive some of the same benefits through our new online education program.

Join us as we go global.

 
Christian Education at the Crossroads
Written by Greg Uttinger   

Education is inescapably religious. Like all things human, it is will be directed in the service of the Triune God or in the service of some idol. But “service” implies not only a transcendent authority—a Lord who must be obeyed—, but also a revelation from that authority that includes specific requirements. (“Service” also implies sanctions.[2]) If we are going to serve God in our teaching and learning, we have to know what He has revealed and what He requires. We have to know what God has said. Then we have to submit to it. This means we must bring our educational beliefs and practices captive to the word of God, to holy Scripture.

Today, however, there are voices within the Christian community—or at least, just outside its walls—that are finding God’s revelation, God’s will, in high human tradition, in Aristotelian logic, or in the pagan classics. If we want to humanize and civilize our young, they say, we must begin with the Greeks.[3]

Now, Paul knew Greek philosophy and culture. He had read the Stoic poets. He could quote them from memory.[4] Yet he pointed Timothy, not to the local academies, but to the inspired word of God that was able to make him “perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Tim, 3:14-17). As far as Paul was concerned, the classical world was morally corrupt, epistemologically bankrupt, and religiously demonic (Rom. 1:20-32; 1 Cor. 10:19-21). The classical world needed the gospel.

The issue at stake here is not whether we should read Homer and Plato. The issue is how we should read them. How will we analyze or make use of what we find there? Will we begin from Scripture, with its doctrines of divine transcendence and sovereignty, of total depravity and sovereign grace, and let Scripture critique and condemn Greek humanism? Or will we begin with Greek humanism and try to baptize it with some bland moralisms in the name of Christ? Will Scripture be our foundation or our afterthought? If we are going to serve Jesus, the answer shouldn’t be difficult.
