• Because Jesus Christ has prepared Himself from the foundations of the world we can trust Him as one uniquely qualified through the fullness of His love for His Father and us.  His love, meekness, condescension, knowledge, power, commitment to agency, and obedience combine to bring this elusive peace to all of God’s children.  Our peace was purchased by the shedding of the innocent blood of God’s purest Son.  Our trust in His capacity to bring us this peace can be complete because that has been part of His work and His glory from the beginning.

Public school teachers enroll their children in private schools to a much greater extent than the general public, in some cities close to 50 percent.
