SHILOH TODAY purpose. But there are only so many minutes in a day, and therefore you must be selective in choosing what specific purposes you want to achieve. My question is, Why did you select the particular purposes you have chosen? What is the ultimate purpose you use to decide what particular purposes you select? In other words, what kind of child are you trying to produce and why?” The principal’s face turned ashen, then beet-red. Without rancor and with humility, he replied, “I don’t know. Nobody has ever asked me that question.” “Sir,” I responded, “I deeply appreciate your candor and your spirit, but frankly, your answer terrifies me.” (R.C. Sproul, The Consequences of Ideas). At Shiloh Christian School, the term ‘Christian’ is more than just an adjective. We take education seriously because we take the Scriptures seriously. We uphold truth because truth is embodied, not in an abstract philosophy, but in a Person. The motto for our school speaks clearly to the type of student we are trying to produce and why we are trying to produce that student— “to develop Godly leaders In a culture where the foundations have shifted, we stand, as a school, on the solid foundation of The Great Book. This is the warp and woof, the very fabric and DNA of who we are as an institution. Here we stand. We can do no other. who engage their culture and change it.” As an academic institution, we adhere to the idea that education is not a finish line; it is a deposit. And yet, to accomplish this, we know that Christ must first and foremost not only find His way into every lesson we teach, every chapel in which we gather, and every conversation we have, but we also acknowledge that Christ and His Word is the very reason we exist as a school. In a culture where the foundations have shifted, we stand, as a school, on the solid foundation of The Great Book. This is the warp and woof, the very fabric and DNA of who we are as an institution. Here we stand. We can do no other. To give financially and become a part of the Shiloh Legacy, visit www.shilohsaints.org/legacy 20 FEATURE STORY
