Parent Education Night – The Protection of the Conscience through Character Education
“Conscience is the Most Sacred of All Property.” James Madison
Conscience is the internal or self knowledge, or judgment of right and wrong, or the faculty, power or principle within us, which decides on the lawfulness or unlawfulness of our own actions and affections, and instantly approves or condemns us.
Many great men and women of the past were just typical persons using their God given gifts in service to others. Their conscience prompted them to put what they learned to action. They were not the most beautiful, brightest, or wealthiest. They did not aspire to prominence or fame. In fact, they were quite the opposite. They were humble and did the tasks not for a reward or to glorify themselves but to further God’s work and glorify Him. They were teachers, surveyors and scholars. Up until they started and completed their mission, they were just doing seemingly ordinary tasks. In thus doing, God was providentially preparing them for His purpose. I am sure at times they were faced with despair, hardship, and failure but that did not stop them from going forward. There is purpose in every challenge we have to overcome, and it is important to never give up. When we think that what we are doing is of little significance or worth, we must remember this quote, “the Lord’s best work is always done in the smallest compass, not in the largest or most famous.” God’s greatest of work is usually accomplished by a small group or individual, in an obscure location known but by a few.

The James Madison Statesman Award is given to the senior who best exemplifies outstanding Christian statesmanship.
A statesman is a representative of Jesus Christ, who came not to be served, but to serve; one tooled in the art of self-government under God, able to wisely steward his God-given property —his conscience, time, and talent—and the property of others; one able to think and reason Biblically in all areas of life, rightly dividing the Word of God; and one able to lead, by example, his own generation in a spirit of selflessness as an ambassador of Christ locally, nationally, and internationally. For we are ambassadors for Christ. (II Corinthians 5:20)
