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.

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.

Daily Lectionary: Daniel 2:24-49; Revelation 19:1-21
But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. (Luke 6:27–28)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Along with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, Daniel was among the Israelites carried off to Babylon. These four faithful young men were specially blessed by the Lord and made good names for themselves among their pagan captors.
Now Daniel had opportunity to turn the tables on their enemies. They could pretend that there was no interpretation for Nebuchadnezzer’s dream and allow him to slaughter his advisors. Or they could use the interpretation to their own advantage, gaining favor with the king but still letting him kill many of their foe.
Daniel, however, shows the kind of mercy that we receive in Christ. Before entering the king’s presence, he first ensures the safety of the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and Chaldeans. While he knows that God will eventually judge Babylon, he refuses to join voice with those Israelites who say, “Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!” (Psalm 137:9)
Vengeance belongs to the God of Israel. Daniel won’t take part in bringing it about himself. Instead, he helps the king and protects the advisors. His delight isn’t in getting even but in using to the utmost the gifts he’s been given. In so doing, he keeps alive some who might learn of the Lord and come to faith.
We continue to live our lives, exercise our vocations, and use the gifts God gives. Christians don’t pass by needy unbelievers on the way to loving neighbors who believe as we do. If someone has a need we can meet, we try to meet it. Perhaps God will also allow us a part in the conversion of new Christians. But if not, He still allows us a part in bringing His sun to shine on the evil and the good, His rain to fall on the just and the unjust. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. Walter Snyder
Lord, let me win my foes With kindly words and actions, And let me find good friends For counsel and correction. Help me, as You have taught, To love both great and small And by Your Spirit’s might To live in peace with all. (O God, My Faithful God, LSB 696:4)
