What
Cause the Body of Christ, and the people of the United States to remember the relationship between education, government, and Liberty!
Why
As a Christian republic, the United States is sustained only by instilling a thoroughly Judeo-Christian, Biblical, and principled educational process into the minds and hearts of its citizens that produces a character strong enough to uphold a Constitutional Federal Republic – our American form of government. It will be a religious educational institution that prepares Americans for servant-leadership, and where one is educated to think logically based on reason coupled with revelation (God’s Word) to advance liberty with responsibility in the institutions of the Home, School, Church, Business, Civil, Economics, Communications, and the Arts & Sciences. This religious educational institution will educate Americans to think Biblically, speak governmentally, and live virtuously in order to uphold and sustain our American Christian Constitutional Federal Republic, and maintain a love for liberty with responsibility. AFI exists to teach, illustrate, demonstrate, and develop Godly character and leadership in all spheres of life and living which will advance individual liberty and self-government.
How
Restore the Office of Teacher by instilling Biblical educational methods into the teacher.
Remind America that a philosophy of education is a philosophy of government – the relationship between education and government.
Show how a philosophy of government and education give rise to curriculum and methods which uphold the governmentally-funded system.
Teach that curriculum and methods aid in forming character, conscience, and government in the learner.
Teach that America astonished the world with Christian self-government where self is voluntarily regulated, controlled, restrained and directed by the Judeo-Christian principles.
Biblical Foundations
James 1:25 NKJV – But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
Rom 5:1-5 NKJV – Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
