2025 Day of Prayer Theme: Abide
This year’s theme for the ACSI Day of Prayer is “Abide.” In John 15:4-5, Jesus says, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”
Jesus’ words in John 15 clearly describe the essence of the relationship between the Lord and His people. As a branch relies on the vine as its source of life, followers of Jesus must be fully dependent on the Lord, as He is the source of all life, ministry, and fruitfulness. Jesus’ call to abide means that we are to remain in a state of dependence and connectedness to Him, for apart from Him we can do nothing.
Recognizing the Problem of Sin
The foundational, yet often overlooked, reality is the way sin impacts both teaching and learning. As school leaders, we cannot view education merely as the transfer of knowledge or the development of skills. Education is always moral and spiritual, shaped either by truth that comes from God or by distortions introduced by sin.
Education as an Affirmation of Identity
Here we explore one of the most pressing issues facing Christian schools today: how we understand and communicate identity and purpose. Our role as school leaders is to help students discover who they are and why they are here, according to God’s Word, and to ensure that our school culture and curriculum reflect this foundational truth.
Rediscovering the Glory of God through Education
We live in a universe crafted by the Word of God. This foundation invites us to view education not as man’s attempt to impose meaning, but as an invitation to uncover the meaning already embedded in creation—Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.
The Crisis of the Modern Self
How can we as Christian school leaders address the decaying sense of identity in our students and, even sometimes, in our faculty? Is there any help from God's Word to anchor our identity to something real instead of the culture and its fractured view of human identity?
