The Ministry of Reconciliation

Passage of the Week:
2 Corinthians 5:18-19 (NIV): 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

Thought of the Week:
What does it look like to "live a Christian worldview" at my school? It can be as simple as asking forgiveness of a person I've treated rudely. Most of us live with a bundle of insecurities, and it's hard for us to admit when we're wrong. However, Christ has called us to a life of transparency based on our security in Him. When we've offended a student or co-worker, and take the initiative to make it right, we are illustrating the ministry of reconciliation Christ has given us.

Great News of the Week:
One of the math teachers at Tacoma’s Wilson High School has initiated a weekly before-working-hours prayer meeting for interested school staff. They plan to meet for prayer every Tuesday from 6:40-6:55 a.m.

How You Can Help:
If you would like to help us encourage Christian Educators in our public school districts, simply send us the e-mail addresses of teachers who would be willing to get networked with us. We will never try to sell you anything, we will never ask anyone for money, and we will never share our mailing list with anyone who would.

Praying that you’ll have a great week at school,
Roderick
