Well it has been two months since I have written on my blog, and so I would say it's about time to get back at it! Only 6 weeks left of classes until exams which means it is crunch time!

Chapel Wednesday - Making Sin Sinless

This afternoon Mr. Pollnow led the school in a chapel in which he talked about how we as humans try to make sin sinless. The passage that he based his talk around was Genesis 3:1-7 where we read Eve's interaction with the serpent. It was challenging to reflect on the areas in our life where we try to justify our sin or cover up the sin of which we are being convicted. Thanks to Mr. Pollnow for taking time to bring us that message from God's Word!
