Bible Verse of the Day:
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you,” Ephesians 5:8-14.
Biblical Connection:
Today’s scene depicts a classroom 32 years ago. Doing a favor for a nun, Sister Mary Clarence volunteers to help teach a music class at a local Catholic High School. When a teacher loses control of their class, chaos will reign. When a substitute is forced to take over, removing these distractions takes a new approach using learning techniques that engage students.
The apostle Paul addresses members of the Church at Ephesus about deeds of darkness which are stunting their spiritual growth. These fruitless deeds are present in the classrooms of public education today. Unless the light, truth of the Bible, exposes these deeds of darkness, distractions will continue. When order is restored to classrooms, learning has a chance to succeed.
Closing Song:
Every age has individuals who believe that each generation is worse. While the world continues to deteriorate, there are always remnants of light that exists. There is where Christians must stand up to deeds of darkness so that the light Christ exposes spiritual distractions. Let your light shine into a world filled with darkness.
