  4. Back to School Supplies Honesty and Integrity (Rom. 12:17; 1 Thess. 4:12; Heb. 13:18) Honesty with self, fellow-students, teachers, parents, God Why? There is great harm in deceit (Prov. 20:17)

  5. Back to School Respect for authority (Tit. 3:1; 1 Pet. 2:17) Teachers have authority (Eph. 6:1; Rom. 13:1ff; 1 Pet. 5:5) Why? There is great harm in rebellion (Tit. 3:3)

  6. Back to School Supplies Hard work (Eccl. 9:10; Col. 3:23) Responsibility, dependability, faithfulness is better than “getting by” Why? Faithfulness in small things, leads to faithfulness in big things: job, marriage, Christianity (Mt. 25:14ff; Lk. 16:10)

  9. Back to School Light (Mt. 5:12-13) Peer pressure works both ways; you can pressure others to do right (Phil. 2:15) Why? When your “light” goes out, “darkness” comes (Mt. 6:22-23)
