This full-length course provides ample instruction and review of the concepts most frequently tested on the SAT, as well as the coaching and implementation of the test-taking techniques that have been proven to work, all while dispelling common myths and reassuring students that the task in front of them is not as daunting as it might seem. To sign up please fill out the form at this link a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the start of the class you are interested in. REGISTER The total $600 for the class will be added to your tuition bill once the class has begun. Contact Mr. Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org or Mike directly at mostprep@gmail.comwith questions.

Today’s Reading: Ephesians 4:1-6
Daily Lectionary: Deuteronomy 13:1-18; Matthew 13:1-23
Daily Lectionary: Deuteronomy 13:1-18; Matthew 13:1-23
…eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:3)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. I’m tired of waking up to hear about death on the news. I’m tired of suffering. I’m tired of not being surprised by it anymore. Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called. Humility, gentleness, patience, bearing with one another in love. Sounds great. You catch glimpses of it after a tragedy, even among the unbelievers. Blood banks full of people donating. Volunteers picking through rubble. Tragedy brings us together. The problem is, when the threat passes, we remember how much we hate each other. We need an enemy. Us vs. them is easy. There’s a reason we devolve into fighting after the threat passes.
Paul calls us to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Not us vs. them, but a unity that endures in more than brief flashes in the face of the ugliest of days. Unity, not in a common enemy or cause or hatred, but a common Spirit. One Lord. One faith. One Baptism. Love, not from our hearts, but from our God. In the face of darkness, sin, and evil, this love was made manifest. It took flesh. Love was named Jesus, who bore our sin and tragedy and division unto death. He died for victims and monsters alike. We have unity in His Cross, where God reveals the bond of peace that was made by nails pounded through the hands and feet of our Lord. For you. For all.
This love is not for the cloister or your private heart. It’s for life in this world wrecked by sin. It’s for the sinners. It’s for you. It’s for all. We are bound by a peace nothing can take. Not sin, not death, not the devil. Those are our enemies. Call them what they are, no matter what masks they wear. Then call them defeated. Christ has conquered them on the cross. Be at peace. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. Harrison Goodman
Thou camest to our hall of death, O Christ, to breathe our poisoned air, To drink for us the dark despair That strangled our reluctant breath. How beautiful the feet that trod The road that leads us back to God! How beautiful the feet that ran To bring the great good news to man! (O God, O Lord of Heaven and Earth LSB 834:3)
