MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT
We Are Free
Freedom is a concept that can be defined in various ways. Americans often turn to the Constitution to understand their freedom as citizens of the nation, while Christians look to Jesus Christ and The Word of God to comprehend their freedom in Christ. Regardless of our background, we all have the freedom to make choices, although we are not exempt from facing the consequences of those choices. This raises the question: what does this freedom actually entail?
At FCHC, we believe in empowering our children by giving them choices to better prepare them for life. Life is filled with decisions, and we all require a process of preparation to navigate these choices and handle their outcomes. Our approach with children not only mirrors how God grants us the freedom to choose but also significantly impacts how they make decisions. It is a thought that crosses my mind almost daily. The Father's desire for a relationship with us was so profound that He sent His Son to pay the ultimate price, fully aware that many would reject His gift of salvation.
In Galatians 5:13-14, we are reminded that we are called to live in freedom, but we should not misuse this freedom to indulge in sinful desires. Instead, we are encouraged to use our freedom to serve one another with love, as the entire law can be summarized in the command to love our neighbors as ourselves.
As we navigate through our daily choices, let us remember that our decisions reflect our identity as believers in Christ and children of God. When making choices in fulfilling our mission at FCHC, let us demonstrate godly decision-making to the children under our care, serving as positive examples for them to follow. May our choices always convey to our children that they are valued, secure, and cherished. Through Jesus, we experience true freedom.
PRAYER FOCUS
Praise God for His provision for needed campus upgrades.
Pray for our staff to rely on The Holy Spirit for discernment and direction in our choices.
