Discerning the Spirits November 9th, 2015

This month we are looking at the thread Spirit Discerning that God weaves through his creation and created order.  As we mentioned las week, we are called to test the spirits of the age.  We want our students to be challenged to identify and discern the idols of our time and to respond as God would call them to. We were created to worship God and if we are not worshipping Him then we are worshipping something or someone else.  We want our students to understand that God is to be the most important to us, not other “things”.  God is more important than other things, and we understand that.  In discerning the idols of our time we realize that it is not just things.  We come across different values, belief systems and alternate worldviews in our studies.  Christian education should be concerned with pointing out the values that surround various topics and compare and contrast that to a Christian worldview.   It is one of the most difficult tasks but one of the most important as well.  We ask you to continue to pray for our staff at PCS and that God would grant them the wisdom they need to speak about discernment with our children.  ~Mr. Bouwers
