I hope you've been
informed and impressed
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.67
of what you've seen today
00:00:03.70\00:00:05.70
as we took a look at
Ouachita Hills Academy,
00:00:05.73\00:00:09.00
doing a great work for the Lord.
00:00:09.04\00:00:11.77
No longer I suspect
the best kept secret
00:00:11.81\00:00:14.68
in all of Adventism.
00:00:14.71\00:00:16.28
But one that
needs to be talked about
00:00:16.31\00:00:18.95
and we certainly are thankful
for what the Lord is doing
00:00:18.98\00:00:23.15
to and through
that particular school.
00:00:23.18\00:00:25.69
Ellen White says
in the book Education
00:00:25.72\00:00:28.76
that "Teaching
is a great ministry,
00:00:28.79\00:00:33.46
and all true
teaching is ministry.
00:00:33.50\00:00:37.93
As we prepare our young people
00:00:37.97\00:00:40.74
not only to be good
citizens of this world,
00:00:40.77\00:00:44.01
but also to prepare
for the higher citizenship
00:00:44.04\00:00:47.28
which is in the world to come
00:00:47.31\00:00:49.21
to train head, hand and heart
to be a service here and now.
00:00:49.24\00:00:53.55
But also not to forget
00:00:53.58\00:00:55.32
that there is an eternity
that must be prepared for."
00:00:55.35\00:00:59.72
She also says in that book
00:00:59.75\00:01:01.59
that "We ought to teach
our young people to be thinkers
00:01:01.62\00:01:06.29
and not mere reflectors
of other men's opinion."
00:01:06.33\00:01:10.80
It is important
00:01:10.83\00:01:12.27
that we teach our young
people to think for themselves,
00:01:12.30\00:01:15.54
to find God for themselves,
00:01:15.57\00:01:17.84
to learn about
God for themselves,
00:01:17.87\00:01:19.77
to speak from their heart
00:01:19.81\00:01:21.78
and not just to be parrots
of other people's opinion.
00:01:21.81\00:01:25.71
And as you listen
to this young people,
00:01:25.75\00:01:27.65
you can see that
Ouachita Hills is teaching them
00:01:27.68\00:01:30.25
to do great things for the Lord,
00:01:30.29\00:01:31.65
but not only to do
things for the Lord,
00:01:31.69\00:01:34.52
but to find the
Lord for themselves,
00:01:34.56\00:01:37.49
and to follow in the
path of righteousness.
00:01:37.53\00:01:40.60
Should you want to hear more
about this particular school,
00:01:40.63\00:01:43.00
you saw the information
you can always call us
00:01:43.03\00:01:45.03
or call them directly
and get that information.
00:01:45.07\00:01:48.90
Well, our time is
fast slipped into eternity.
00:01:48.94\00:01:51.04
Allow me in closing now to
wish you both grace and peace
00:01:51.07\00:01:53.78
through our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:01:53.81\00:01:55.24
We'll see again soon. Bye-bye.
00:01:55.28\00:01:56.81
And God bless.
