‘HOPE IS IN THE LORD’

Once again we see that hope has a vital connection with faith and love .
both have provided for the believer ‘ A confident hope ‘, which not only
gives assurance of a heavenly future , but which enables the believer to
live a Godly life here and now .

the faith that produces hope is produced ‘faith working in love’

which enables believer to be led by the holy spirit for ‘hope for
righteousness’
 what does the mean to have faith and why is it
important?

We know that faith and hope are both are both needed for our success
in this life . faith being the substance of things hoped for means that we
must have a base mindset of faith.

hope speaks of the future and faith speaks for the now in life . faith and
hope truly work together for our good.
 hence

the basic value of our faith experience in spiritually , while at the

same time asking ourselves about the space thst faith occupies in
our lives is something we need to ponder upon .through we
experience of faith we recognize God , his initial love for us , and
the path of our response .

FAITH AND THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION OF
TEACHING

As Paul Michalec (2002)

• faith an essensial component of ones teaching bacause

it encourages the teacher to more fully express the
truth within one soul .
 hence , good manners and right conduct (GMRC) Teachers are
encouraged to utilize the faith driven pedagogy which is a journey
of discovery into the one soul of ones teaching .

Michalec (2002) believes that effective teaching is faith driven

and never regularized , processed and repackaged for easy
digestion . it contains patterns , rhtythms and principle but it
should never be completely managed.
In particular they may have find that faith as useful tool to continue ones
growth to enhance the learning of the students. this is believed to be true
because faith filled teaching is inherently student centered

• faith is grounded in the spiritual task of meaning and making . it

enhances the teachers understanding of the ground of other being , for
students and teachers.
• faith sustains reflective encounters with subject matter anfd community.
• faith ferrets out answer to the challenges of teaching by encouraging
the teacher to plunge into the pedagogical uncertainties of the classroom
, rather than pulling away.
• faith is pedaxogical glue . it blind together . it bind together
the the interest of the individual and community speech that
is humble and authoritative and teaching that elicits
suffering and wonder.
• faithing journeys are certainly full of pitfalls and the thorns
of dissapointment . faith is never an antidote to personal or
pedagogical struggle.
• faith is simply a more truthful way of teaching and learning
