You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matt 5:14-16
The line starts as an upward arrow. Pointing, even as a number 1, reaching high into the space. Our first aim is teaching truth, specifically Biblical Truth. These Truths are found in God’s Word and in His World. We want to start there and so the line begins pointing upward.
The final aspect of the line, the open arrow suggests that Impacting the Kingdom is the destination. The line stretches forward, for our Impact should be beyond us. It exceeds ourselves and reaches to another. We aim to reach outwards to the world. The arrow remains open. It gives direction, but the destination is not contained. The Lord knows his plans for his Kingdom and for us. The outward-reaching open arrow invites us to take what we’ve learned and offer it to the world.
The line, changing direction, moves downward, with a twist, like a knot, maybe even the curves of the lines in our brains. In teaching Truth, we also train minds. Like the twist, it is complex. There is critical thinking and problem-solving. Discipline and rigor and academic pursuits and beauty happen all together within this training. It is connected and collaborative. It is a layered, overlapping process and the line loops and continues because training minds is for a purpose.
