Breathing, Bag Boys and Bottom-Line Essentials

This TEACH Journal article seeks to help define the unique essence of Adventist Education. "Some say that the special character of Adventist education is 'the lifestyle and practices of the Seventh-day Adventist Church as expressed in your school'. I like to think it's something bigger. For my 'lifestyle and practices' are born of something grander: they emerge from a keen awareness of the astounding reality and character of my God and my relationship with Him. Of the innumerable qualities He possesses, the hallmark and most astounding one is His love. How sad that this most prominent characteristic has become so trivialised through overexposure that its meaning has been leached of much of its vibrancy. In reality, 'amazement and rapture should be our reaction to the God revealed as love'".
