Harold Klassen of Transforming Teachers emphasizes the importance of understanding a Biblical perspective of your subject area.

Making sense of any idea is always easier if you know where it fits in the big picture. Knowing where the subject you teach fits in the big picture of God’s purposes and activities, can help you see the connections between your lesson content and God and His word. Helping your students see things from a Biblical perspective becomes an exciting possibility rather than a dreaded responsibility.

Here are a few questions that can help you develop the big picture of your subject area:
  1. What does _____ reveal about God?
  2. What is God’s purpose for _____?
  3. How is God misunderstood because of _____?
  4. How is _____ misused?
  5. How does the Bible confirm God’s revelation in _____?
  6. What does the Bible say about God’s purpose for _____?
  7. How has _____ changed my relationship to my heavenly Father?
  8. Will I allow the Holy Spirit to use _____ to give me a thankful, worshipful spirit?
