Something to Think About
Go... Make a Difference

Let us not become weary in doing
good, for at the proper time we will
reap a harvest if we do not give up.

The Highest Calling

By Jason, M.Ed., M.A.R., Headmaster & Parent

Training Our Children to Love and Follow Christ

Last week, I had one of the scariest moments of my life. Nothing dangerous or extraordinary happened, but I had a moment of insight that shook me deeply. The batteries had died in one of my son's toy cars. I took a screwdriver and replaced the batteries and gave the car back to him. Five minutes later, I saw him sitting on the living room floor, car in hand. Was he playing joyfully with his newly restored favorite car? No. He had picked up my screwdriver and was "fixing" the car, just like Daddy.

The Life God Treasures and Blesses

Yesterday, I was reading through I Chronicles 5. I started a new plan to read through the Bible in a year this year, and this plan has four tracks of reading each day.

Choosing Sides in the Kingdom Conflict

The students at my school work on memorizing Colossians 3:1-17. This great passage from Paul begins with a charge and ends with a challenge. The book-ends of this passage are a clear call to our minds, hearts and lives:

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth . . . And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

Wisdom and Eloquence

By Jason, Pastor & Headmaster

Two Defining Characteristics of a Biblically-Minded Servant-Leader

At our School, our vision is to train up a generation of Biblically-minded servant-leaders who will lead the church and the culture toward righteousness. As we have been fleshing out, as a staff, what this means, we have focused much of our attention on two very key characteristics for our students: Wisdom and Eloquence. For years I have spoken about the importance of wisdom. Proverbs emphasizes the central importance of wisdom again and again – “Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom.” - Proverbs 4:7

The Importance Of Asking The Right Questions

By Jason, Pastor & Headmaster

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." Philippians 4:8 (ESV)
