This is the great and first commandment. ... -Matthew 22 Todays Wake Up Wednesday post is about education. The Lord has given me such a heavy burden for the education system and the kids across american that the system is failing, especaily those in lower income neighborhoods. The following song was recorded by John Legend for the movie Waiting for Superman . If you haven't seen it I highly recommend you watch it. As a church, as Christians, we should be greatly concerned that every child in america no matter where they live or how much money their parents make have an opportunity to have an outstanding education. It's so easy to remove ourselves fr
