So why bother?

When we begin to think about founding a classical school, as already stated, the glory of God needs to be foremost in our thoughts and designs. Indeed, ideally, the priority and design that God already has in His mind (and our discernment of the same) should preoccupy.

This begs the question, then, why is it that I believe that God is moving to form a classical Christ-centered school in Little Rock? Certainly there are many educational opportunities already available, all with their various strengths and weaknesses. My point here is certainly not to consider arguments for or against any of these other options, but only to discuss the inherent strengths in a classical Christ-centered education. Christ is pre-eminent in all things (the Scriptures teach us this), and so whether a school is classical or not is of little importance next to whether or not it is Christ-centered. However, there are aspects of the classical approach that I think are inherently complementary to a truly Christ-centered education. It is for these reasons, primarily, that I believe that God would have us move forward with this school. (please see subsequent posts)
