Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are
God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
Psalm 25:5

This past week in our middle/high school chapel, we had the incredible honor of hosting Mrs. Megan Almon. After an award-winning career in journalism, God called Mrs. Almon to pursue a degree in Apologetics from BIOLA University and has since opened doors for her to travel and speak to speak to a wide variety of groups which include college assemblies, women’s groups, schools, congregations, and conferences. She is not only a gifted communicator, but more importantly, she is a devoted Christ-Follower. In our time together on Wednesday, Mrs. Almon presented “The Case for Life.”
As you are in your homes, eating around the table, or in the car together, consider discussing the following questions with your students to help open up the opportunity to have spiritual-minded conversations with your student(s):
- Megan stated, “The ideas that we adopt as beliefs play themselves out in our own lives and in the lives of those around us…and ideas have consequences. The idea that is driving abortion in our society is: Some human beings do not matter as much as other human beings.” What are some specific ways that you’ve seen this idea play out? [fame, popularity, etc.]
- Megan went on to state that one of the two major questions that our culture struggles with is “Is truth really true?” She made the distinction between subjective truth (statements that are made from a person that reveal something about that person…and are open to interpretation and opinion) and objective truth (statements that are made independent of a person…they are discovered and are either true or false). What are some specific examples of subjective truth (opinions) and objective truth (facts) from your own life?
- Why do you believe that it is so important to be able to distinguish subjective truth from objective truth?
- In regards to the issue of abortion, the statement “Abortion is wrong because it intentionally kills innocent human beings” is both a moral claim and an objective truth. Why is it important to understand that abortion is not a subjective truth issue?
- The second of the two major questions that our culture struggles to answer is “What makes human beings valuable?” Mrs. Almon pointed out that there are two ways that human beings are valued: 1) they matter because of particular traits, talents, or abilities and on the basis of what they contribute to society or 2) they matter because of intrinsic value and on the basis of being created in the Image of God. What is dangerous about embracing the first way that human beings are valued? What is comforting about embracing the second way (the Biblical understanding) of how human beings are valued?

The PACS Interact Club is helping the senior class raise funds to purchase school supplies during their mission trip to Nicaragua.
The PACS senior class will be the first missionaries to visit a local school, and the school has a significant need for basic supplies.
- February 26 - March 1, Interact members will be stationed in the Wolverine Den and Lower School hallway collecting money in $5 increments to sponsor the purchase of school supplies.
- Supplies will be purchased once the team arrives in Nicaragua. This will save on the cost of transporting the supplies.
- The grade that raises the most money will be rewarded with a Popsicle party.
