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 […]

“…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.

OUR PRICELESS INHERITANCE IS SECURE

HE IS ALWAYS WITH YOU
“And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20, ESV There are days when it feels like God is distant—not because He has moved, but because I have. Some days, I move through an entire day solving problems, managing needs, responding to demands, and relying almost entirely on my […]
ARISE AND SHINE
