Christian Academy Statement: As we enter into another election season, we want to remind our school community that the Christian Academy School System is partisan only to the Bible and our shared Biblical and Foundational Statements. We support each person’s right to vote as led by God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. In keeping with our school, parent and employee partnership commitment, we have agreed to treat our neighbors with respect and honor, as fellow image bearers of God, including engaging in responsible discourse. Christian Academy is firmly dedicated to promoting unity rather than divisiveness in all aspects, including politics.
With this in mind, I want to introduce the final of four devotional thoughts on how we, as Christians, can positively impact our community. As a big college athletic fan, my emotions can swing dramatically based on the performance of 18 to 22-year-olds during a game. When “we” lose, I have to remind myself to stay grounded because I often start complaining about every possible reason for the loss: play calling, roster make-up, officials, the uniforms, crowd noise on 3rd down – you name it! I can even find myself already complaining about the future based on just one result.
Mr. Deon Parker, Director of Biblical Unity, (dparker@caschools.us) shares his thoughts and reflections as we approach the final stretch of this election season. How should we respond when we catch ourselves complaining about choices or people? The Bible always provides the answer.
