“While school teaches us knowledge, wisdom cannot be taught. Proverbs 2:6 says, ‘For the Lord gives wisdom, from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.’ You could read every single book in the library and your wisdom would not increase. Wisdom comes from the fear of God. So, in order to be wise, you must first fear God in the correct way. You have to understand that He is almighty and has the power to move mountains.”

“A citizen’s objective should be to serve his or her community. Someone who shows good citizenship does their best to serve the Lord in all they do and is kind to their peers. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, ‘The time is always right to do right.’ What I think Dr. King meant is there is not a specific time to do right. You should do right all the time, even when others are not looking.”

“As true followers of Jesus we must serve others. Service is the act of helping others who need assistance. Jesus displayed His service on earth as an example for how His followers must act. He performed a number of miracles helping others when in need. When people ask how to inherit eternal life, Jesus explains that the two key points are loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself.”

“God calls us to be salt and light of the world. Matthew 5:14 states, ‘You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.’ We, as children of God, should be different compared to others; leading others to show the fruits of the spirit. The famous football coach, Vince Lombardi, once said, ‘Leaders aren’t born, they are made.’ Leaders choose to be who they are. To be a leader, you have to care for others and not be selfish. As a leader, you are called to inspire others.”
