Question:
What does using these questions look like?
Answer: Here are Kim Essenburg’s responses. Kim teaches English 10 at Christian Academy in Japan.
(1) What’s God’s purpose? God made language so we could communicate with Him and with others. Language helps us love God, love our neighbor, and take care of God’s creation.
(2) What’s wrong? Because of sin, we use language to exalt ourselves, harm others, and grab power. Because of sin, we miscommunicate.
(3) What difference does Jesus make? Jesus, the Word, used words to proclaim God’s truth. He died and rose to free us from the power of sin. Because He redeemed us, we can use language as God intended.
(4) What will you do? The English Department will equip students to honor Jesus and impact the world for Him. To do this, we will help students enjoy God’s gift of language and use language to learn about God and His creation, effectively communicate truth, and bring shalom.
