I've often wondered what the title of this post means.  I've heard it said many times, but honestly, I wasn't confidant I could define either term.  I knew those who used the two terms together were implying that Greek was bad and Hebrew was good, but beyond that, I was a little fuzzy.  In fact, I was leary that our way of teaching history chronologically was somehow too Greek-minded and that maybe Hebrew teaching was nothing but the Bible.

Recently, I stumbled across this definition, and finally made sense of it all!

To the Greeks, the goal of education was for the students to LEARN what their teachers KNEW. The focus was on their intellect. They focused on the content to be transferred from the teacher’s mind to that of the student. On the contrary, to the Hebrews the goal of education was for disciples to become LIKE their teachers. The focus was on their heart, their character, their life. The learner was not a "student" (defined by studying), but rather a "disciple" (defined by following). This is how Jesus taught. He said (Luke 6:40), "everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher." ~Jonathan Lindvall

This only served to solidify many of the thoughts that have been floating around in my head of late.  I need to reach my children's hearts, not just their brains.  In fact, if I do nothing else in a homeschool day, I need to have spent time focusing on their character and who they will become in Christ.  In addition to all of this, I need to be focusing on my own attitude and my own walk with our Lord.
