The Lord is Lord of all. Christians everywhere usually agree to the fact that God is sovereign over all things. If we really do believe that then it has to have an impact on the way we view education. I was reading a section of the book “Praying at Burger King” by Richard Mouw and I came across a quote that I think is very applicable to our context here in Christian schools. The title of the piece was “Christian Stuff” and it discussed what could be considered Christian stuff or the things of the Lord. It stated: “Jesus is Lord over books, term papers, quizzes, laptops, dissertations and class discussions. He is Lord over all of the other ‘stuff’ in our lives as well. He is Lord of these things even when his Lordship is not acknowledged.” As we go about our daily lives and get caught up in the everyday practices and rituals it is a good reminder that all of those are the things of the Lord. All these things were created by God and were designed to bring him glory and honour. We are called at Calvin Christian School to help the students realize this and, as we live out our calling, be reminded that we are to do all our tasks as if we were doing them for the Lord. God be with you this week.~ Mr. Bouwers
