TO HELP STUDENTS LEARN AND EXPERIENCE GOD’S GREATNESS THROUGH TEACHING, TRAINING, LOVING, GUIDING AND CHALLENGING.

MATTHEW 28:18 THEN JESUS CAME TO THEM AND SAID, “ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME. THEREFORE GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND TEACHING THEM TO OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. AND SURELY I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE VERY END OF THE AGE.” (NIV)
JESUS COMMANDS US TO TEACH PEOPLE TO OBEY EVERYTHING HE HAS COMMANDED, TO TRAIN DISCIPLES, AND CHALLENGE THEM WITH THESE SAME WORDS.

ROMANS 13:9-10 THE COMMANDMENTS, “DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,” “DO NOT MURDER,” “DO NOT STEAL,” “DO NOT COVET,” AND WHATEVER OTHER COMMANDMENT THERE MAY BE, ARE SUMMED UP IN THIS ONE RULE: “LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” LOVE DOES NO HARM TO ITS NEIGHBOR. THEREFORE LOVE IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW. (NIV)
PAUL SUMS IT UP BEST IN THIS PASSAGE WHEN HE SAYS LOVE IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW. AGAIN WE ARE COMMANDED BY GOD, WE ARE TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS AS OURSELVES.

PSALM 25:4,5 SHOW ME YOUR WAYS, O LORD, TEACH ME YOUR PATHS; GUIDE ME IN YOUR TRUTH AND TEACH ME FOR YOU ARE GOD MY SAVIOR AND MY HOPE IS IN YOU ALL DAY LONG. (NIV)
IN THIS PSALM, DAVID EXPRESSES HIS DESIRE FOR GUIDANCE. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD’S PRIMARY GUIDANCE SYSTEM IS IN HIS WORD, THE BIBLE. (FOR INSIGHT TO THE ENDLESS KNOWLEDGE FOUND IN GOD’S WORD…LOOK IN PSALM 119.)
