REGARDLESS
Be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 2 Timothy 4:2, NIV Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let not your hands be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well. […]
NEAR TO US
What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to Him? Deuteronomy 4:7, NIV One of the greatest gifts we have as believers is the nearness of God. He is not distant, distracted, or indifferent. He is present. For […]
HUMILITY WRAPPED IN LOVE
Therefore, if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition […]
A DIVINE TEACHING STRATEGY
The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.” Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked. “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit […]
RIGHT ON TIME
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:3, KJV Time is relative. This seems especially true in education. The school year starts at a steady pace, then […]
REPEAT AFTER ME: REPETITION RULES!
“…but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.” Psalm 1:2, NIV Repetition shapes us more than we realize. As educators, we know this well. Students don’t master content in a single encounter. They review, rehearse, and revisit until knowledge becomes understanding—and understanding becomes instinct. […]
MISSION FIELD
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in […]
WET IT AGAIN
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Colossians 2:15, NIV Are you discouraged? Do you feel like you stand alone against an enemy that is too strong for you? Does it feel like the district, administration, your colleagues, the students, their parents, […]
HE GOES BEFORE US
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8, NIV As you walk onto your campus this morning, I want you to picture the Lord going before you. Throughout your day, continue envisioning His presence […]
APPROVAL
Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10, NIV Madison stood with the other children, eager for the year-end performance to begin. Parents and grandparents […]
