Met weinig wetten is het goed regeren
Johann Agricola
Biblical Integration - Classroom Management
Well done, my good servant!
his master replied. Because you have
been trustworthy in a very small matter,
take charge of ten cities.
Luke 19:17
Heaven's Reward
... a call to rule?
Luther's Theology
- Everyone is called to be a good theologian.
- A good theologian should be able to distinguish between the law and the gospel.
- Nobody can distinguish between the law and the gospel.
- We need wisdom, the mind of Christ
A Balancing Act?
I am sending you out like
sheep among wolves.
Therefore be as shrewd as
SNAKES and as innocent
as DOVES.
Matthew 10:16
