<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="font-size: 11pt;">The  choice people have to make in education is the same one continually  called for in the Old and New Testaments: choose this day whom you will  serve. This was the opening message for the recent CiRCE  Institute's classical Christian education workshop, held at LPA.  Fifty-three teachers and parents attended the workshop, which drew  regional participants from Columbia to Concord. <br /> </span></p>

<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp; Setting the stage for the day, Kern read through Romans chapter eight to illustrate the choice: all we<br />
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-size: 11pt;">have  as human beings is on one of two paths: flesh or spirit. It's the "law  of sin that leads to death" or the "law of spirit that leads to life." &nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-size: 11pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;  According to Kern, when people reach for the fleshly choice in  teaching, learning, and assessing, it leads to anxiety -- and away from  God's blessings.</p>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> He asserted that for the goal of truly Christian education, "every  truth and every lesson worth knowing can be found in the incarnate  Christ Jesus," and that</span></div>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> all  decisions on curriculum, teaching methods, and the like need to be  subject to Him. Otherwise, it's merely a secular education with  Christian trappings.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The workshop addressed four areas: </span></div>
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">The classical Christian distinctives</li>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">Teaching as God teaches: The Word made flesh</li>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">Teaching from a state of rest</li>
<li style="font-size: 11pt;">Meaningful assessment</li>
