Nazarene Educators Worldwide

Insights from Above

For the Week of January 23rd

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28, NIV).

It’s easy for us to pass judgment on others—to accuse and to despise. However, God calls us to “…Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39, NIV) and “Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone” (Romans 12:18, NLT).

A man in our nation’s history who exemplified these beliefs was Martin Luther King, Jr. He based his movement in large part on these teachings from the Bible. For instance, Dr. King claimed that “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” In other words, care about others—not just yourself.

Furthermore, Dr. King said that “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” This statement correlates with 1 John 2:9 (NIV), which says, “Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.”

We need to take a lesson from a hero of our past and take advice from the Savior of our life. Choose to love.

“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:31-32, NIV).

Reflections of a Retired Educator

On Monday, November 1, 2010, I slept in for the first time on a school day in 34 years, other than the rare days when I was ill. On that day, I awoke with mixed feelings about what I would now do with extra time and many, many memories, both wonderful and not so much!

Contentment

When is the last time you felt truly content? There are many different kinds of contentment. This past Sunday while I was worshiping I was overwhelmed with a strong feeling of contentment. That feeling was immediately followed by gratitude for God my Father.
