September means school!
And school is way cool!
So why be a fool?--
Since you know the rule—
You must go to school.
Get out of the pool!
It’s now time for school,
'Cause school is way cool!

You have probably guessed that this attempt at poetry was made by a teacher, an old teacher trying to be cool! I doubt that I have succeeded in the “cool” part, but I insist that the message is true. Schooling of one sort or
another will always be a part of our lives, absolutely necessary for growth and maturity.
But have you been to God’s school? It also is absolutely necessary for spiritual growth and maturity.
Where is it, you might ask?
ALL THE WORLD-OVER! - John 8:12 – When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

How does one register for it?
APPLY TO JESUS CHRIST! - John 6:37 – [Jesus said,] “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never drive away.”
What are the curricula and textbooks?
ALL IN THE BIBLE! - 2 Timothy 3:15,16,17 – ...The Holy Scriptures... are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in [right living], so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
What is the grading scale?
ALL DEPENDENT ON FAITHFULNESS! - 1 Corinthians 4:2 - ...Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
Matthew 25:21,23 - ...”Well done, good and faithful [student]; ... Come and share your Master’s happiness.”
What about the graduation ceremonies?
OUT OF THIS WORLD! – 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 – For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
