Tip #3 – Redefine School

These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.  Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Write them on the

doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

Deuteronomy 6:7-9

How to Practically integrate a biblical worldview:- Start each day with prayer and Scripture- Make Bible memorization a habit- Put God where He belongs- Draw Christ into every conversation- Evaluate every book through the lens of Scripture - Worship as you study

For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or

authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
