Today's Hot Scripture
Be encouraged and enriched through God's WordHigh Calling: ACT (October 2017)
No idea, noble or obscure, will impact others unless that idea is acted upon. ACT is our focus in this month’s edition of HIGH CALLING.
Since God knows what we need before we ask, why do we need to pray?
You are right. God does know what we need. God tells us in Matthew 6:8, “Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” But in the next verses he tells us to pray for our needs. In 1 Thessalonians 5:17 God commands us to pray continually. That means to pray a lot!
How Could Jesus Be God and Be His Son?
The only possible way to find an answer to your question is to go to the one and only book that tells us about God and Jesus, the Bible. In John 14:8, Philip said to Jesus “Show us the Father…Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?” (vv. 9-10).
Who’s who in your Classroom

Do you ever struggle with an attitude that is far from wonderful? We all do. Keeping in check our emotions, feelings, problems—all those elements that can add up to a bad attitude—is pretty difficult some days. God knows how hard it is, but He also knows how important it is for us to have a Christ-like attitude.
Music in Action!
Is your classroom wiggle-friendly? Those busy, bustling kids who can’t seem to sit still can be your greatest learners when you use action songs to teach. This article will show you how to create the right dynamics between teaching and singing.
High Calling: ALIGNMENT (September 2017)
Have you ever driven a car with wheels that were out of line? You cannot keep it in the center of your lane. It pulls to the left, it pulls to the right. Nothing you can do but fight, fight, fight–the cheer of everyone who drives a car out of alignment. In ministry, nothing is more important than alignment. And that’s why alignment is the key word in this issue of High Calling.
