Another Satisfied Customer!!

They say the proof of the pudding is in the eating and scripture says, "you shall know a tree by its fruit". Here is another parent testimonial of the change in her son's life since attending Upper Room Christian School.

"First I would like to say, I give honor to GOD, who is the head of my life. I want to thank the entire staff at Upper Room Christian School.  I've seen such a drastic change in my son, for the better.  As a family, we pray every night and every morning.  My son's prayers have gone from: 'Thank you God for my mother and father and my brothers, in your Holy Name I pray", (10 seconds) .......to 'Father GOD, we come before you giving you praise and worship, praying for those in need, praying over mom and dad, brothers, grandparents, those that are in need of something, asking for forgiveness of our sins, asking to be blessed by his talent and thanking God for his talents.' (5-10 minutes)  Needless to say, my husband and I were so amazed and speechless. I love my son's transformation. I owe it to you.  Thank you!  I THANK GOD FOR YOU
 
Have a blessed day!

Be not Conformed, Be Transformed!

Rom 12:2 says, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God". This is part of the mandate of True Godly Education!

Webster defines conformed as an intransitive verb: to be similar or identical also to be in agreement or harmony. To be obedient or compliant. To act in accordance with prevailing standards or customs.
Webster defines transformed as an intransitive verb: to change.
So then there are two very different educational systems in the world today one teaching us how to CONFORM with the world system based on selfishness and carnality and the other teaching us how to be TRANSFORMED into the image and likeness of God.

It is therefore impossible for a secular public school system to teach true biblical transformation as the carnal and spiritual are at enmity with each other. They have opposing goals! The are subject to different objectives.

Our children are not to be conformed to this worlds ideology but they are to be conformed to the image of God! Rom 8:29 says, " For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers".

What is your child's educational system conforming them to? All education shapes the mind and helps formulate our opinions and beliefs. First our children's minds need to be transformed, changed from their Adamic identity to their identity in Christ! Then they should be taught to be conformed into His image and likeness.
Rom 8:5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:7
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Grace and Peace,
Ed
