From the Head of School
Biblical Unity
I am looking forward to this Spiritual Emphasis Week. Today Jakob Siegel from Bethel Baptist Church started the week with upper elementary, middle and high school students. Jerry Nelson, Chief Ministry Officer for ACSI, will be speaking to students tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday, and then Jakob will be back on Friday. In my view, Jerry Nelson is the most recognized voice in the country regarding biblical diversity in Christian schools. Diversity issues can be divisive, but the proper understanding of scripture leads to unity in Christ.
Here is Jerry's perspective on the ultimate goal of biblical unity: "The pursuit of unity in the body of Christ has as its ultimate goal the glorification of God by foreshadowing the permanent establishment of His kingdom, which is characterized by justice and love (shalom) and enjoyed by diverse peoples redeemed from every tongue, tribe, and nation (Isa.61; Luke 4)." Parents — make every effort to attend the parent seminar with Jerry Nelson tomorrow night, at 7 p.m. in the APR.
