“He Only Fair, and What He Fair Hath Made”
A Christian woman should want to be beautiful, but she is made so by quietly submitting to God’s Word within her station in life.
Studying Biology and Being as Christians
As we classify the various gifts we have from God in nature, we are better able to understand what place each has in our lives as Christians, how we as Christians should act regarding each gift, and what place we ourselves have in creation as human beings.
A New Song Be by Us Begun
On this day we give thanks to God for preserving sound doctrine by His Word. The Gospel is our most valuable treasure, and we would gladly lose our lives for it because of the hope we have in Christ.
The First Lutheran Cantor
Walter set a standard of excellence in Lutheran choral composition that influenced many composers after him, and he is responsible for several of the tunes that are found in Lutheran hymnals.
Reading Myths and Legends as a Christian
Christians possess the Truth Himself, and every other true and good thing is ours for the taking.
Christian Catechesis in the Classroom
It is imperative in any Christian school that catechesis be the central part of education because God’s Word and Sacraments should be the wellspring of all we teach our students.
Learning Based on a Christian Worldview
A Christian worldview is not simply integrated into Mount Hope’s curriculum through a few lessons on Christian topics, but God’s Word informs the whole life of the school.
Classroom Management, Formed by God’s Word
God’s Word informs more than just lessons and lectures. It also informs the day-to-day, practical ways that teachers manage their classrooms and deal with their students.
A Student’s Vocation of Being Christian
Although job preparation can be valuable, it is not the main focus of a Christian education. Instead, a Christian education is an education in the vocation of being Christian.
