From the Headmaster
TGBTG!
As the ministry of St. Philip’s continues its march towards a centennial year, our body of believers must take caution. The caution I am referring to is not related to external forces. As we reflect on the mighty works of God through us and St. Philip’s, we
must elude the conspiracy of silence. Meaning, as we continue in our quickness to serve, we must remain slow to assume credit.
As you read this winter edition of our 1600 Magazine, you’ll find undeniable evidence of our effectiveness and unparalleled impact on lives. However, if we fail to give credit where credit is due, we will contribute to the conspiracy of silence. To avoid this under sight and arrogance, we should proclaim TGBTG (To God Be the Glory)!
There is no other credible explanation for what has unfolded over our 75-year existence on these anointed South Dallas soils. Admittedly, committed parents, devoted staff, incredible volunteers, generous donors, and tenacious hard work have attributed to our current progress and positioned St. Philip’s for its path forward…BUT GOD…..!
God has always been the explanation for what has and is continuing to happen through St. Philip’s. He consistently blesses the diligent works of our hands and hearts. In reading this issue of the 1600 Magazine, join me in lifting every voice to proclaim TGBTG. To God Be the Glory for the things He has done. Let’s also praise Him in advance for what He has in store for the ministry. We are deeply grateful for all who’ve played a role in educating, serving, uplifting, inspiring, and loving others toward overcoming, defying odds, and pursuing their destinies. We are a faithful chorus, lifting a joyful noise to God’s Glory. Hallelujah!
Blessings,
Dr. Terry J. Flowers
