Chapel: In the Red Zone
They called him Axel, though that wasn’t his name. He carried the rank sigil of a Field-5—the kind of man whose orders you didn’t second-guess, not unless you’d already laid your will in a burial locker. He spoke loud when he should’ve whispered. He whistled through tight canyons. He scoffed at protocols like they were embroidery. And I followed him any…
Their MISSION as I read it
Crusaders! Take up your cross.
We forge minds and hearts for battle—preparing young men and women to stand unashamed in the face of a hostile world. Our mission is to provide a rigorous, truth-anchored education in the fear of the Lord, training each student to reason clearly, live nobly, and walk humbly beneath the standard of Jesus Christ.
We do not merely prepare for college. We are the Kingdom.
Rockford Lutheran Athletics CORE VALUES as I see them
Each value is a banner on the wall and a fire in the bones. We raise them not as slogans, but as standards to live by:
🛡Christ at the Center
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
Christ is not an elective. He is the cornerstone. Every class, every chapel, every act of discipline and encouragement beats in sync with the cross and the empty tomb. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom—and our foundation is immovable.
⚔ Excellence in All Things
“If anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
Excellence is not perfectionism. It is faithful striving. It is doing with all your might what your hand finds to do. It is reverent attention to detail, cheerful resilience in adversity, and the pursuit of beauty, order, and truth. Mediocrity is a sin of sloth.
🤝 Harmony by Grace
“Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them.”
We are not the same. And that is the point. Each member of the body brings a strength for the other. Harmony is not uniformity, but the Spirit-led symphony of diverse gifts under one Head—Christ. Here, older lead the younger, and the strong lift up the weak.
🦶 Service with Purpose
“We are coworkers in God’s service: you are God’s field, God’s building.”
The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve—and so do we. Our service is not performance; it is priesthood. We train our students to give without seeking reward, to carry burdens that are not their own, and to find joy in doing the unseen work of Christ.
Stand firm. Speak true. Serve well.
The time is short. The battle is now.
Crusaders! Take up your cross.
The Star of Jesus
The “Hexagram,” or six-pointed star, like all true glyphs and writing, is grounded in natural science. Good forms are stable. Bad ones collapse. And if bad angels respect God’s law, it is only because He sets them in their bounds. I don’t speculate. I study what is.
Amazing share! I'll have to read Dale Carnegie again for better detail. I also want to learn gold and not straw, and fear I chase the meaningless conversations on YouTube and came Facebook. Thank you for your message.
Jesus loves me and he loves you too. All glory be to God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Amen.
