Purpose<\/p>\n

Investment:<\/strong><\/span> To love students
\nJust Getting By:<\/span> <\/strong> To teach students<\/p>\n

Perspective<\/p>\n

Investment:<\/strong><\/span> It’s about discipling students in their relationship with God.
\nJust Getting By:<\/strong><\/span> It’s about getting through a lesson with some semblance of order and learning.<\/p>\n

Passion<\/p>\n

Investment:<\/span> <\/strong> That students know God intimately and grow in their relationship with God
\nJust Getting By:<\/strong><\/span> That students know what the Bible says about God<\/p>\n
