During this school year the spiritual emphasis team set a theme for chapels and the whole spiritual element of Delmarva Christian High School. As many of you know the theme for the entire year is Striving for Excellence.
Chapels this year have certainly lined up with this theme. Today's chapel speaker, Dr Barr, spoke on accountability. The students were challenged to be answerable, responsible, and accountable to God. Right from the beginning in Genesis 1:1 we are informed that "God created the heavens and earth." Because God is ultimately responsible for everything we must be responsible with what God gives us. This include possessions, talents, opportunities, and actions. While most of us have heard a message like this before it is wonderful to go back to the basics and ground ourselves in the Word.
Even the basics are tough and it is easy to fall short of your own standards and very easy to fall short of God's standards. One way that we as Christians can help each other to withstand temptation and live up to God's standards is by forming a triple cord. Dr. Barr instructed us that in Ecclesiastes 4:12 Solomon writes "a cord of three is not easily broken". We were challenged to find two friends that we can create a triple cord with. These friends should be people that will truly help us. Please take this challenge seriously. I know from my own experience that having a group of three friends is the most beneficial way to stay accountable and withstand temptation.
The spiritual emphasis team works very hard to plan these chapels so please make sure that you give your input to those members.
Thank you,
Meghan
