Our School

In our school, we try our best be the best Christians we can. No matter how hard it is, it is impossible to be perfect. It's the hardest thing to not be influenced by the world or to follow the crowd. In Romans 12:14 says "Bless those who hurt you. Bless them, and do not curse them." This is hard because the automatic thing we think of doing after someone hurts us is we want revenge or payback. Verse 17 is also applicable, "Don’t pay back evil with evil. Be careful to do what everyone thinks is right." In our school, this is applicable but not only for our school but for everyone. 
Sometimes it is hard to also respect the authorities in charge of us. Romans 13:1 says, "All of you must obey those who rule over you. There are no authorities except the ones God has chosen. Those who now rule have been chosen by God." It is a hard thing to respect ALL authorities because not all of them treat you the same. One example is respecting substitutes that treat the class like kindergarteners. Even though how annoying that can be sometimes, God tells us that He want’s us to respect them because they were put into the authority position over us.

  1. Good insights here. I think you could look a little more closely at the scripture (interpretation) but your application is relevant.
