In his final chapel message of the school year, Principal Jim McKenzie shares examples of "biblical math" including 1+1 = 1, 90% > 100%, 1+1 = Jesus, and ends with the most important equation of our lives: Jesus + 0 = Everything. Chapel ends with a beautiful time of worship and commitment to make Jesus our "one thing."

Throughout scripture, God often reminded His people to lift their eyes and look up, to turn their eyes and hearts to Him instead of dwelling on their circumstances.

Jim concludes by giving students three strategies for watching over our tongues.

Everyone loves a good internet meme! But do the things we like, favorite, and share on social media reflect the Truth of God's Word?

In this podcast, principal Jim McKenzie challenges students to evaluate ideas in light of the scriptures, which are inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16).

Jesus commanded us to "love one another, as I have loved you." What does that look like?
