Volume 16, Issue 4 October 12, 2018 Lustre Christian High School The Bring Your Bible to School Day By Emily Eggar Thursday October 4 th was Bring Your Bible to School Day. Focus on the Family has set up Bring Your Bible to School Day as an encouragement to students who deal with the publicschool scene. This year Sadie Robertson was named as the honorary chair for the event which encourages students to celebrate, and stand up for, their religious freedom. This year, more than half a million students across the country participated in this event. Focus on the Family encourages parents to use this day as a teaching opportunity. Religious freedom is a first amendment right for Americans, a fact some students are unaware of. Many students are under the impression that having their Bibles, or other religious material, in school is against the rules. Unfortunately, schools do not usually clarify the student s right to religious freedom. Focus on the Family, along with Sadie Robertson, have been promoting Bring Your Bible to School Day heavily on social media and on the radio. It is important for students to know that they have every right to have their Bibles in school or wherever they go. Here at LCHS the students are required to have their Bibles with them every day, so Bring Your Bible to School Day was hardly even noticed. However, October 4 th was a good reminder of our right to religious freedom and the role we can play in reaching out to others.

Freshman Interview By: Zach Brown Phumate Tantibanchachai, or Phu for short, is one of the new students. He is a freshman from Merced, California, but was born in Thailand. His first impressions upon coming to Lustre was that it was small and very remote. When asked what he was looking forward to here at Lustre, he said that he wanted to learn more about math, so his fa- vorite class appropriately is his Algebra 1 math class. His favorite food is pretty much any kind of pasta, and his favorite color is red. He loves music; however, he doesn t have a favorite song or artist. In his free time, he likes to play basketball and enjoys collecting shoes, which are mostly basketball shoes. When he grows up he wants to own / run a shoe store, since he likes collecting shoes. His favorite Bible verse is Luke 6:10 which says, He looked around at all of them, and then said to the man stretch out your hand. He did so, and his hand was completely restored. Ladies and gentleman please welcome Phu. Page 3
LUSTRE CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL Distinguishing Ungodliness By: Kirubel Legesse On Thursday, September 27, Pastor John was our chapel guest speaker. After the worship team sang Grace Like Rain and Knees to The Earth, Pastor John talked about Psalm 1. He started out telling us to recognize what God is doing in our lives and that we will be unfortunate if we don t walk with God. Next, he gave examples of actions of what ungodly people do, stating that ungodly people deny God in the cause of pride and arrogance. He also talked about ways we could distinguish ungodliness, so that we can avoid being in step with the wicked or ungodly ones. Next, he talked about possible ungodly influences in our lives, such as media and other people that surround us. Instead, of distancing ourselves we should be a positive influence to the people around us. Sometimes bad people turn their lives around, pastor John listed himself among those people. He also gave a reference from the bible strike a scoffer, simple will be prudent Proverbs 19:25). He finished by referencing psalm 1:6, telling us that the Ungodly will perish, but God wants all of us to go to him and turn from our ungodly ways (Ezekiel 33:11). Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. Psalm 1: 1-2 (Chapel continued from page 1) we should try to control it and not let it cover the joy we have in Christ. Sadie gave her message next, delivering on the topic of idolatry. She shared the dictionary definition of idolatry, then compared it to classic Old Testament examples of idolatry, such as the Asherah poles and Baal idols used in Baal worship and the Golden Calf found in the book of Exodus. She surprised us when she warned that idols can be found everywhere in modern times, and are more common than we think. Anything that turns our focus away from God can be considered an idol. Zach and Sadie encouraged us to keep an eye out for some subtle things, namely irritation and idols, that can really turn us or others away from God. We were extremely blessed to hear these messages.
