Your True Advantage ...focus on impressed minds

❎ NOT TRUE v. ✔ TRUE

A message from Steve Lauber, Recruitment Director

The world is full of “facts” that people either have heard or want to believe even though they are false. For example: ; Bats are pretty much blind.

NOT TRUE

❎ ; Bulls hate the color red. ❎ NOT TRUE ; Gum takes 7 years to digest. ❎ NOT TRUE ; Einstein was a terrible math student. ❎ NOT TRUE ; Camel humps store water. ❎ NOT TRUE ; Humans only use 10% of their brains. ❎ NOT TRUE

Maybe some of those myths have fooled you too? Unfortunately, we also see many false beliefs running rampant in the world today that go directly against God’s Word.

❎

There are many ways to get into heaven. NOT TRUE (see John 14:6)

❎

Marriage is between any 2 people that love each other regardless of gender. NOT TRUE (Genesis 2:24)

❎

There are dozens of genders in the world. NOT TRUE (Genesis 1:27)

❎

Having an abortion is a right every woman should have. NOT TRUE (Psalm 51:5) Although various beliefs and assumptions surround us, at Lakeside, we continue to Impress upon our students and staff the unwavering truth of the Bible–the truth that will never change until Jesus reappears on Judgment Day. There is one God.

✔ TRUE ✔ TRUE ✔ TRUE

There is one Savior.

Jesus is the only way to heaven.

May we never change God’s Word to adjust it to what we think is right. Proverbs 30:5-6

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up..

(Deueronomy 6:5-7)
