Skeptics among us might read this post’s title and think, “oh yeah, they’re natural worshippers alright. They worship themselves!” Ouch. Unless we’re being a little too hard on Calvinists, let’s all agree that we are born with what theologians call “original sin.” And yes, children don’t have to be taught to sin. They come by it honestly because their parents are sinners, and their parents, and so on back to Adam and Eve. However, children are also little image bearers. They reflect, however imperfectly, the glory of their Creator. One of the ways they reflect God’s image is through imitation, especially of adults. One of the reasons you chose Front Range Christian School and made the sacrifices to have your children here is because you understand that children become like those with whom they spend the most time. Their worldview is more often “caught than taught.” Your child will spend approximately 1300-1500 hours with their teachers at FRCS this school year.  Who better to imitate than their Christ-following teacher?

“Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.”~ 1 Corinthians 11:1

“Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’ When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.”~ Matthew 13:13 – 15
