Online Health Sign-up for High School Students
If you are in need of completing your high school health credit, the Spring 1 session of online Health begins January 13. If you would like to be enrolled in this class, you must fill out the form at this linkby Friday January 3. You will be charged an extra $350 on your tuition bill for this class if you are not enrolled in a study hall, early dismissal or late arrival for the 2019-2020 school year. If you took Health in 8th grade here at Faith or have taken Health at Las Vegas Day School, Adelson, Cornerstone, Alexander Dawson, Lake Mead Christian Academy or The Meadows in 7th or 8th grade, your high school Health requirement is already complete and you do not need this class. I’m sorry but CCSD middle school Health is not cleared to count for high school credit. Contact Dan Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org if you have any questions.
 
MOST PREP SAT CLASS
Faith Lutheran is proud to announce a new SAT preparation partnership with the founder and president of MostPrep, Mike Obstgarten. He will be running 6-week prep courses at 6:45 to 9:15pm in room 216 for juniors and seniors specifically for the SAT starting this summer for $600. Students interested in prepping for the ACT should still take this course as the exams are now similar enough that specific ACT courses are not necessary. 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.

DEVOTIONAL
Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast. (Revelation 18:2)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. “Alas! Alas!” So the watchers cry as they see mighty Babylon toppled before their eyes—stripped of glory, wealth, and fame.
By the time John received this revelation, Babylon was a far-off memory. She who once carried off the wealth of nations had her own wealth stolen by Persia, which subsequently lost to Greece. In the first century AD, Rome was the Babylon du jour. She was the vicious tyrant subduing and carrying off what belonged to others. She was the sultry whore enticing her own people and the surrounding nations to indulge in idolatry and immorality.
John’s readers could make the connection between Babylon and Rome without possessing seditious writings that prophesied Rome’s coming judgment at the hands of the One True God. The great pagan empire dominating the Mediterranean basin and beyond would eventually crumble, joining Persia, Babylon, Nineveh, and their ilk in history’s refuse pile.
Like Babylon, Rome wasn’t the final empire to dominate huge portions of the world. Others have followed and we still see great nations vying for the world’s attention and adulation. Whether by terror or enticement, they seek to gain hold of and profit from others.
Lest we follow lewd invitations or be driven by violent impulses to accept the headship of earthly empires, the Lord calls us to remember our heavenly citizenship. We belong to the new Israel. The Lord is our Rock and our Fortress and the new Jerusalem is our home. We cower before no tyrant nor do we race to wallow in spiritual harlotry. Our King conquered sin, death, and hell, and has brought us into His eternal kingdom. Though all else crumble and decay or perish in the final judgment, we stand secure on Christ our Rock. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. Walter Snyder
Built on the Rock the Church shall stand Even when steeples are falling, Crumbled have spires in ev’ry land; Bells still are chiming and calling, Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the souls distressed, Longing for rest everlasting. (Built on the Rock, LSB 645:1)
