True Religion and Inner Renewal
don't, nothing can fill the hollow, emptiness
inside.
Our lives as teachers encourage students
to be partners with God in all that they do. We
realize that our students are often long on
desire but short on experience. We realize that
most students want to know what's right, even
if some are indifferent about doing it. We plead
for purity in all things, that they may truly be the
famed
"back to the Bible"
people. We k-now
they have committed the Golden Rule to
memory; here, we try to get them to commit it
to life.
We try to be the kind of teacher we'd want
our children to have (without neglecting our
own families in the process). We know that
these years are crucially important in
determining their future direction. Generally
what they are now is what they will become.
Four years from now, they will be products of
the books they read ... the people they meet,
etc.
We are aware that some of them still falsely
believe there is no life after death. And life, to
them, has become a very cruel joke. We tell
them that there is a God, and man is His child.
And we will all die someday, because our
mother and father were human. We will live
someday, because our Father in Heaven is
Eternal.
