The King’s Academy’s Elementary Experiences ‘The Truth Project’
WEST PALM BEACH – Monday, January 25, 2010 – Each semester at The King’s Academy the elementary students benefit from attending a series of chapel services known as Spiritual Emphasis Week. This semester’s series took place last week and was called “The Truth Project.” The theme was based on the Bible verse in 3rd John 1:4, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
The first day they learned that telling the truth is not always easy, but it is a daily choice that they need to make. They learned that each day they should try to be more and more like Christ. So, they need to know what the Bible says about truth. One example is found in Proverbs 12:22, “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.” So the children learned that when they choose to tell the truth, God delights in that decision.
The second day they learned how history relates to truth. They learned about the story of Pocahontas. They talked about the differences between the movie, a textbook, and a history book versions of the story. They saw some similarities, and some differences. They learned that they needed to examine the things that they read and what they see, because authors take privileges and sometimes stories are distorted. Whenever they can, they need to check their thoughts with the Word of God.
In the last chapel they learned how they see God in science. They can see God through creation. He has designed the world, and it says in Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork.” They experienced some great experiments and the final one was so messy that it had to be done outside.
