Hello again. Sorry it has been a while since I have posted. You know how it is...
So, I am teaching a unit on Apologetics to seniors at Lynden Christian and I am finding it very difficult, but not for the usual reasons. My complication is that Apologetics is kinda hard to teach if I don't know what the students faith life is like. I want to challenge these students to STAND UP FOR THEIR FAITH, to be passionate, to want to know more, but it seems like I need to slow it down in order for it to settle in. I lectured on Tuesday about our need to know what we believe and why, and care about it if we indeed are Christians, and it really did not seem like they cared all that much what I was talking about.
so...I have decided to get to know the students better instead of dropping the "ARE YOU REALLY WHO YOU CLAIM TO BE, OR ARE YOU A MINIATURE OF YOUR PARENT (minus the rationale)!!!" line on them to soon.
Lesson Learned of high school students: Being able/and willing to think for yourself takes time.
I hope to see you all soon (17-18 more days or so).

Your lessoned learned is quite true I think. I didn't always care about such things either. Truthfully, sometimes my degree of caring still wanes at times. Love you bro (-in-law).
