Fully Rely On God
F.R.O.G.
Satan tricks man into thinking that he can do everything himself, and that he
does not need the Lord. This
attitude
is especially prevalent in America where people are taught that they should be
self-sufficient, only relying on themselves. Society teaches people that they
have all the tools they need to do everything for
themselves and that if they need help from anything or anybody they should have
a feeling of shame. Sometimes people treat
Christians
as lesser individuals because they rely on a Higher Being and follow after Him.
In Proverbs 3:5-7 Solomon wrote: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do
not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he
will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and
turn away from evil."
Christians must give their entire life to the Lord and fully rely on Him. They
should be very careful of the way of thinking that says that man can do things
for himself without the Lord.

Parents and students
have a multitude of choices to consider when deciding where to enroll. For
Christian families, an additional characteristic should be
considered—compatibility with their beliefs and lifestyle. Here are some
benefits you should consider.
*
Relationships are an important part of any educational experience. A Christian
school is uniquely equipped to provide positive relationships for its students.
*
Christian schools
are smaller. A smaller student body allows for better attention from the
school's faculty and administration. Size and the tendency of believers to watch
out for one another can provide encouragement as well as accountability to a
young person facing new challenges and opportunities. Certainly, a public school
is interested in encouraging students, but a school with a Christian mission
statement will be better equipped to meet these needs. In addition to
relationships, a Christian school provides an atmosphere more familiar to
Christian students.
*
The quality of a Christian educational experience is higher than any other.
Christian educators have an additional motivation to do their work with
excellence—the call of Christ on their lives to do just that (I Cor. 10:31, Col.
3:17). Quality may also be enhanced by the emphasis on subjects and teaching
deemed by God to be of first importance. A biblical focus will inform the
manner, content, and even the scope of an educational experience, and Christian
schools may be less influenced by cultural (or educational) fads.
*
A biblical worldview will see God as the source of truth in mathematics,
science, history, and all other disciplines. Christians believe that God not
only made all things, but also knows them intimately. Therefore, His lordship
over our studies is not limited to biblical studies.
Not all students
have the same needs, not even all Christian students. For many, though, a solid
Christian school will be the right choice. A Christian school can provide a
positive educational experience and a strong biblical foundation for all the
things God will call upon them to do in the years that follow.

WLS by Wednesday, November 18. Please be sure all boxes are wrapped so that the
lids can be taken off. A large rubber band holding it together can be used. No
liquid items should be in the box, due to the possibility of leaking during
